I'm not forseeing positive potty training memories, but there are other good times ahead.

It sounds like the potty-training is going well so far. Good for both of you!

I have those angry reactions to innocuous behavior sometimes, too. For me, at least, it's usually misdirection; I'm annoyed about something else and for some reason something harmless going on near me drives me up the fucking wall. It helps to know WHY I'm feeling that way, at least, but it's still such an uncomfortable sensation.

Yeah, I think it was misdirection. It's just a very intense feeling.

I'm jealous of your book club.

Good luck with the potty training.

I loathe potty training. I'll start in the dead of winter when we are stuck inside unless something changes drastically before then.

I would probably drive you insane. I've had various somatic manifestations of my OCD over the years: pulling my eyelashes/ eyebrows, picking my lip. My latest is feeling my scalp over and over. I barely realize I'm doing it sometimes. I was next to a woman in employee health the other day who was almost hyperventilating with anxiety and I couldn't wait to get away from her.

I'm beginning to think that potty training was invented to torture parents.
