You really can use duct tape for ANYTHING...

Potty training sucks. PERIOD.
If you have OCD like me, it really sucks.
If you have OCD & a weak stomach... It's the biggest suck something can suck.

Now that we have that established....
My 2 yr old, the beast, is at the milestone of learning to go on the potty,  near the potty, well, anywhere she takes her diaper off.

She takes her diaper off constantly. Like every 5 minutes. Which is great because it means she is ready, right? Um NO. She hates the diaper but equally hates the potty. We have the seat that goes over the potty so you can go like Mommy & sissy.. Wont use it, just wastes toliet paper.
We have the potty that sings when you go in it.... She learned you can stand in it & it will sing too.

Lately she is taking her diaper off as soon as she poops. I normally will get it off within 5 minutes but that is not fast enough. The past week, I have walked in her room to find her in her crib, poop diaper off, white crib now brown. NASTY. Then there are times I hear water splashing... Oh but it's not water she has peed & is splashing in it like she is playing a rain puddle....On the coffee table... She thinks it funny, Mommy not so much. This is only bad when its bed time & nap time.... I have to sleep eventually people. I cant be up all night worry about Poop.

So I reached out to my Mommy friends on facebook & asked them what to do.. How to keep the diaper on when needed. One said keep pants on her... I do , she knows how to take them off, even Jeans and leggings. ( I still have a hard time taking off leggings) One said pull ups.. She rips them at the sides or just pulls them down. That is a nasty mess to clean too when she slides it down.
Then someone mentioned DUCT TAPE. Tape the diaper on her. I thought about this. I wavered between I cant, that's horrible, to that's genius. I went with GENUIS.

Why not? You can fix everything else with duct tape. I happen to have some... Let's gve it a try....






You know what, she hasnt figured it out yet... There is a tranny  on the local radio station that is called Th Duct Tape Diva , I may have to call him/her & give her this tip.
As she says " If you can't duct it, F*ck it"

This is a joke, I of course took it off immediately.
