How can I potty train my son who doesn't care if he is wet?

My son is 3 years old and I'm trying to potty train him but he doesn't seem to care if he has a wet diaper.

When I try to take his wet diaper off he runs and screams saying he wants to wear the diaper instead?

It's seems like a wet diaper doesn't bother him because he doesn't even like to get his wet diaper changed?

How can I potty train my stubborn 3 year old boy when he doesn't care if he has a wet diaper?

If you really want to get your 3 year old potty trained and out of diapers then you're gonna need to go cold turkey with the potty training and once you take his diaper off then don't put another one on.

Let him run around naked or in underwear and tell him to go to the toilet when he needs to pee or poop.

You're gonna have accidents and lots of messes to clean up but eventually your 3 year old will use the toilet.

He's gonna probably scream and fight you but eventually this will pass.

You have to show him that you're the boss in this and have the say so and not him.
