Toilet training when you're not home much?

After some suggestions please, we have a lovely 26 month daughter who is definately showing an interest and understanding about using the potty.

Here's the challenge, she goes goes to HB care in the middle of the day, they tend to be out and about, going to playgroups and outings, she's there for 3 hours per day, so I wasn't going to ask for help form her carer to begin with.

Hubby and I are both shift workers, every day is different for DD, either one of us could be home in the morning or evening, one or both of us in morning or evening if one of us is rostered off, we don't have set on/off days or times from work, so although our DD is quite used to this and we tell her each day who will be home with her the next day, we struggle to get a routine going around her using the potty.

The only successful times (twice) have been me putting a music cd on after her bath and sitting there for 10 minutes singing along to Mickey Mouse and she all of a sudden goes. Several times I have suggested we do this again and in true 2 year old style flat out refuses. I have tried a few times putting her in knickers and letting her know to tell me or go to the potty of she needs to go, she knows and will go sit on the potty, but won't pull down her knickers or leggings, it always seems to happen when I'm not in the room! I've been reluctant to put her just in knickers because it's still quite cold here.

Everything I've read has told me that we need a consistent routine so that every day is the same, but we really just haven't figured out a good starting point. I'm debating waiting until January for some warmer weather. My mum friends that I have asked for some tips are SAHM mums who just stayed home for a couple of weeks, which isn't an option, we don't have any leave until February.

Any advice much appreciatedhttps://omegle.onl/https://xender.vip/
