First Days of Potty Training... How Awful was it for you?

My daughter has been showing signs of being ready to potty train for a month or so. She turned 2 in May and we did a VERY BRIEF and half-assed attempt at potty training in April that failed miserably but we decided to give 100% commitment for this long holiday weekend with hopes of her showing progress enough that I could trust sending her to daycare on Wednesday in underwear instead of diapers.Things are... not going so well... I'm not sure if it's her, if it's us, or if it's just going as expected and we had too high of expectations. I'm okay with the accidents and can produce enough understanding and patience to power through but my husband was wanting to throw in the towel less than 36 hours in.She is having an accident 95% of the time. She has only told us twice and made it to the bathroom successfully without peeing all over the place. We are watching her like a hawk, not allowing any screen time, pumping her with liquids, and following the baby books with going diaper-less and looking for signals and signs that she needs to go. As soon as a trickle happens we whisk her away to the bathroom where we sit for anywhere from a minute to 20, depending on how long she is willing to sit still. If she's comfortable and not asking to get up we just leave her and remind her occasionally to try to "push the pee-pee out".Good Lord it is exhausting. I tried googling about how many accidents should be expected in those first few days but all of the responses I found were related to weeks/months past the initial potty training phase.Should we be throwing in the towel at some point if she is not giving us a heads up.... or do we need to suffer through the full 4 days that we planned before nixing the idea and waiting until fall to try again? I have convinced my husband to give it until Tuesday before we revert back to diapers and try again in a few more months but I would love nothing more than to just be done with diapers completely. At what point do you know if it's too early or if maybe you just aren't trying hard enough? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2uAcmTm
