Willow, you are doing great!!!! I guarantee, your son will be potty trained, eventually. My father and FIL were both the types who would criticize like that. My hubby and I both probably carry some emotional scars from our dads. My father tried to criticize one of my daughters once when she was very small, and I jumped right down his throat. Not that I did not respect him, but he crossed the line. My hubby also had to get after his dad a time or two for criticizing our girls when they were small.

It's sad that some people have to be like this. We each have to do our best at this parenting job, and you as you stated are the parent, not them. I'm sure you are an excellent mom!!! You've shown it in other posts.
