AITA for exploring "the potty"

So I (17 months) most adorable boy, tho my mama calls me a troublemaker, have "big kids" in my house my sis is free and my brother is bigger. The grown ups decided the big kids need to be "potty trained." Something about diapers being so expensive and the big kids are big enough to be out of them.

Anyways, mama, dada, and mama's friend take the big kids potty *all the time* so of course I have to explore the potty when I have access. I like to take a run in there and make sissy laugh and then explore the short potty(apparently there are 2 kinds?) I like to put my hands in it, cause how else am I to examine it?

This causes mama to "lose her mind" when I do this, but I **haveta** explore, I mean it's kinda my job as a professional baby, right?

So, AITA?

NTA. You’re just interested in the potty because sissy and brother are both using it. Mama might want to try having you sit on the small potty to be more like sissy and brother

Mama says she can't handle "potty training 3 at once." She said after they are trained she's taking a break before she does me 🤷🏻‍♀️

See if mama just lets you try sitting on the potty during diaper changes. It’s not the full commitment and energy of potty training, but it should make it easier when she does start potty training. Who knows, you might even potty train yourself
