First of all whatever you do, do not get mad. It does not help the situation and just remember you're child is learning something new and is probably struggling with it. My 6 yr old still wees in his pants a bit. Not a lot but enough to smell at the end of a school day. I suggest forgetting about it for a while and trying again with a new approach. You can also make an appointment with a nurse ( I went to an incontinece clinic). I found that my son seemed to get it and try a bit harder after speaking with a nurse. It puts a bit of officiality into the training. Good luck.

Hang in there op. My ds didn't want to know either, had no interest. I was taking him every half hour, building it up to every hour, every hour and a half and eventually every two hours.
A few times he had accidents and every time he would say his undies weren't doing a good job (pointed out that undies did a different job to pull ups).
Ds turned 4 and something just clicked. Touch wood so far since July he hasn't had an accident, even when we are out. At home he quite happily goes when ever he needs to. When we are out, I always make a point of making him go before we leave the house and after 2 to 3 hours I just find a toilet and take him.
I was like you, worried, but now on reflection....it was all unnecessary.
Good luck with it all

Good luck! Dd resisted and resisted every attempt I made at TTing her before she was 3. At about 3.25 over the long weekend with DH on board we said bye bye to nappies, to,d her straight up this is it, no more nappies (switched to pull ups at night) we made sure we went out, shopping, out to lunch etc and although she would wee herself at home she really didn't want to when we were out. She was still having a few accidents and resisting a little until she talked with her friends about using the toilet (we were telling her xx uses the toilet and xx doesn't wear nappies). After that she night trained too.
