The Divine Crash

About eight months ago we started trying to potty train my son.  It didn’t go well, he would see the child’s potty and just scream.  Now we have him in pull-ups and he will sit on the potty but nothing happens.  This is a huge headache for us and sometimes it is just easier to leave him in a diaper. It would be easier to just change his diaper than try to potty train him, right?  I mean, I find it easier to simply deal with the crap in his pants than to teach him not to have that in his pants in the first place. Maybe it is because I have gotten used to simply cleaning up after him and this would a change in my routine which I am not entirely comfortable with.

How often is that me?  Too often it is easier to clean up the consequences than it is to change the actual problem.  We know that the problem is a problem and needs to be dealt with but we have dealt with the consequences for so long that we become numb to it and become unwilling to change.  Right?

Sometimes, the idea of being free from our problems, pains, and inconvenience is terrifying.

Or Maybe I am reading to much into this….
