... I hate potty training

I do. I completely hate it. Not that I can think of anyone who might actually enjoy it, but still..... It is by far the hardest thing I've done so far as a parent. It tests my patience like nothing I've ever encountered.
Every single time Nick sees a toilet, this is what takes place:
N: I go potty
M: You need to go potty?
N: I go potty
M: Okay, lets get your pants off.
N: No get pants off
M: Nick, honey, if you need to go potty, we have to take your pants and diaper off
N: I go potty
M: Okay, pants off
Right about here is a turning point. It will go one of two ways.
Scenario A) N: No! No go potty!! No!
                   M: Are you sure? You just said you need to go potty. Why don't we just try since we're here?
                   N: No go potty! (as he backs away from the potty, seemingly scared of whatever creature he's convinced is going to get him.
                  M: (In extreme defeat) Okay honey, we'll try again later

Scenario B) N: I go potty, pants off!
                   M: Good job baby, let's get those pants off!
                   At this point, the boy is naked from the waist down, standing in front of the toilet...
                   N: No go potty
                   M: (in extreme defeat) Okay honey, we'll try again later. Let's get our pants back on.
                   N: No get pants on!
                   M: Nicholas......if you aren't going to potty, we need to get our pants back on.
                   N: Noooo get pants on!!!!

This continues for about 2 minutes until he finally concedes to give up on naked time and allow me to put his pants back on, or throws a full out tantrum resulting in still no go potty....

I suppose I should mention there's also a Scenario C...
 Nick sees toilet after following me into bathroom for unknown reasons....
  N: I go potty!
  M: Nope!

Call me a bad mommy for not taking advantage of the learning opportunity, but sometimes you just gotta grab the sanity where you can
