Since I have a few days at home with the kids, I gated off the kitchen and bathroom and my daughter is running around pantsless. I know that people swear by the Oh Crap method, but by the late afternoon she's fried and doesn't seem to be interested in peeing in the potty instead of on the floor anymore. Any suggestions for or against putting a diaper on her when she's hit the end of her patience? Any other suggestions?

How old is she?
My advice is to let her take the lead. When she is interested in the potty, let her be pantsless and pee on the potty. When she isn't anymore, put a diaper on her.

We still used diapers for nap/night and car rides for a while. I explained that if he wanted to use the toilet he could but the diaper was there in case we couldn't make it or he was asleep.
But otherwise there were no more diapers.
In your case I'd probably just keep at it, prompting her to go as needed and if she goes on the floor go through the "pee goes in the toilet " etc. Yes, it's mentally exhausting for everyone but if you're going to do it just do it. It should pass quickly.
But as with anything, you know your kid. If that's not working, go with your gut.

Was today the first day? I am feeling so dumb because I don't really remember what DS was like about it in the very beginning. There was a lot of pee on the floor though. We did the Oh Crap Method, but in a flexible way since I didn't know about it/read the book till like 2 weeks in when I could get it from the library. I did use rewards at first because I didn't know about the method yet.

Today is day 3. I'm planning to bring the little potty outside for most of the day because my kids are getting stir crazy. I'll have to put some loose shorts on her because I'm worried about sunburn and bugs and slide-burn.

How are things going throughout the day.
I think I might have been lucky with a boy too because peeing outside was a super cool thing he could do with daddy, so I got to use that trick.
