So SD got in contact with me the other day. And was beyond...civil. He asked about MIB in the first text I'd gotten from him since the "slandering tirade" he went on last month.

No poopoo?
So I've been trying to potty train MIB for the last few months since she has been out of her cast. And so fast she has been doing a really good job with the peeing part but the poopoo part has been a serious challenge.
Since the training started, she picked up on telling me when she has to go pee. "Mommy I have to go peepee!" And we will go to the bathroom and she will do her business (sometimes while I'm doing mine) without a problem. But she always forgets to tell me when she has an urge to go poopoo.
And believe me I have tried everything to get her to do so. I have bribed her with money, toys, Dora, cartoons, and sweet treats. But hear I am still buying pull ups instead of panties. I've even tried to bribe her with pretty panties to convince her to go poopoo in the potty...but still no luck. Not even the promise of school can get her to do what she needs to do and I am out of options.
So, #YCMs, what are your potty training suggestions? How can I convince MIB to be a "big girl" and not a baby and go poopoo in the potty?
