Should I continue on, or give up?
I started potty training my daughter, she was two in September. She seemed physically ready. She would tell me when she was going in her diaper and had used her potty now and again. I got rid of diapers except for at night and tried to put her on the potty often. I didn't make a big deal out of accidents or force her on the potty when she didn't want to sit on it.
She had a small poop yesterday (the day I started), but I think that was me catching it in time. And one pee, but she had been sitting on the potty for about 20 minutes and didn't even mention that she'd peed. Otherwise she has seemed to resent us asking her to use the potty. I will ask her to try going, she will say no, then literally stand there and pee at that moment.
I don't know if this is normal when potty training, or if I should back off and try again later?
@Katsura: Sure I'm ready, but with a new baby and a business to run I don't have time to waste. Do you often try to make people feel foolish for asking a question on a question and answer website?

Back off. Maybe get her a potty book and start reading it to her, and talk with her about when you have to go. Keep it low key. You never want to make potty training a point of conflict, because it will become a power struggle and then it will set you both back. Keep it low key and try again in a little bit.

You started potty training 24 hours ago and you're wondering if you should back off already? Sounds like YOU are not ready for potty training.
