I know this sounds kinda funny at first glance and I admit it at times has its moments but I dont know what to do here.
We are potty training my 2yo daughter. I admit my husband has a little more patience than I do so he is much more active in this than me. Like all men he pee's standing up and my daughter has seen him do this. No big deal right? Well she is trying to do it and pissing all over her pants and the floor. After a week I finally got her to sit down but I noticed when she takes herself to the potty she is doing it.
There are other things to like hitting. Earlier she smacked her younger brother and when I asked why she said " because bubby grabbed my nuts". Of course I couldnt help but laugh because she doesnt have nuts lol. She has two brothers one older and one younger and she mothers both of them. She also is a big Daddy's girl. I dont know if she needs more time one on one with me or if I need to seperate her from the little boys for a while.
I was a big tomboy when I was little and my mother claims she never had this problem with me. Any idea's?

In our family, we have only one human male, my DH. We had to start having him close the door when he relieved himself because our daughter, then 2, really thought she should be peeing standing up. Just like your daughter, she tried several times, including outside. Once she stopped seeing him and only saw me, she stopped the stand up thing. It was pretty funny (albeit messy) when it was happening. At 6, she's definintely a sitter!

I was a stander. I have an older brother and couldn't understand why if he could do it why I couldn't. She just hasn't gotten to the point where she understand males and females are made different. She doesn't see a difference in the sexes. I got over not being able to stand and pee, she will too. Start making her help clean up when she makes a mess..... eventually she will sit if for no other reason than to not have to clean up afterwards.

My daughter wanted to try this too, but she seems to get the difference, and her lack of the male equipment, lol! I also started making my husband close the door, but her brother still lets her in...they're only 17 months apart anyway. Now she tells him why she can't stand...pretty funny to overhear!
