Terrible 2 Tuesday! Potty Training

So I'm kinda new to the whole potty training ordeal. I didn't do a whole lot with K only because the schedule that she was on going back and forth between me and her father, she happened to be with her father the greater deal of her potty training. I'm not really going to get into some of his "techniques" because quite frankly they piss me off so much I want to fly out there and punch him in the teeth for using them. Let's just say the repercussions of them are probably her inability to keep her bed dry at night at the age of 7. Doesn't matter if we wake her up at various time in the night. She almost always wets the bed. So to make her feel more comfortable and less stressed, we just get her some pull-ups for the evening. During the day she never has any issues with it. It's just at night. So I'm hoping her father will be taking her to the doctor for a physical exam to see if this is something physical.


We've SLOWLY started with J. We haven't pushed it or anything, but every once in a while when it's bath time, we get her naked and ask if she has to go potty. Sometime she does, sometimes she doesn't. I don't want to push it, but I don't want her in diapers at the age of 5 either. 


So I'm a little afraid, and not 100% sure what to do with J. I keep wondering: When do I REALLY start potty training HARD CORE? When do I buy pull-ups? SHOULD I buy pull-ups? Underwear? Should she be in a toddler bed before I start potty training?


SEE!!!! So many questions!!!! AH! Being an adult is hard!!!! X_X


Sorry this post is so short! As I said, I don't know much about potty training but am looking for suggestions!


I'm not weighing myself tomorrow for weight-in Wednesday because my old ankle injury decided to rear it's ugly head this weekend and I could barely walk from Saturday until yesterday. So I wasn't able to do my 30 day shred all weekend. My ankle was still tender today, so I decided I would start again tomorrow. I'm not using it as an excuse!!! I really can NOT walk when it acts up. Which it does if I stand on it for an extended period of time or the weather gets weird. Which it did. The temperature and humidity jumped this weekend. Yuck. But I will still post SOMETHING tomorrow!


I look forward to hearing your suggestions or your potty training stories!!!
