Life is just too short for a**holes like you. I feel sorry for your kids. I hope they don't turn out to be the bully you are. |

I'm not doing anything to be a bully. This always makes people mad, but go home and ask your kids tonight and then report back. |

NP. While we have your attention, and since you admit to posting this repeatedly, can you please disclose on what basis you are making this assertion, that "every single kid remembers"? Which kids besides your own have you asked? I do believe that YOUR kids remember, but do you have any other data? |

I've posted this twice, so i guess that is repeatedly. When volunteering at two different schools I've had to get on students who were tauting another child about it. I also have had my daughter near tears when explaining how a kid was bullied about it and complimented her for standing up for her friend. |

As a one-time preschool teacher, all kids have accidents at one time or another. Kids that are bullying are probably doing so because an adult has handled the issue poorly and the class culture is not supportive.
Most kids quickly learn potty training because it is a huge priority for classroom aides. The clean-up mostly falls on aides while teachers are overseeing classroom learning. Most aides are very experienced with these issues and highly motivated to work with parents. |

Well, if there are indeed that many kids who keep track of who is wearing pull-ups in Pre-K and remember it years later, I guess it's just as well that my kid (who wore pull-ups in the fall of Pre-K3) will move on to our inbound school for K, leaving all potty-related memories behind. |

| Good idea. It is just as well. |

No one even knows or cares that some kids in our class wear pull ups.
I do admit it's frustrating though especially if the parents aren't working on potty training at home and expect us to be the ones to completely potty train. We don't have time for that. |

I have a different child! My DD is completely pee-trained and even stays dry at night. But. She does not acknowledge her shit and will happily sit all day be it diaper, pull-up, undies. I have a mound of poop-stained undies the weeks of trying, and she currently has a pretty bad rash. SHE DOES NOT CARE. I've cried rivers of tears over this, but finally I just put her back in pull-ups and trust she will come to care very soon. Her preschool teachers have been very understanding as she is the model preschool student otherwise. |

| PP, my son is like this, too. It's slowly getting better because he, for the most part, has been holding it until he gets home. But otherwise, he will go in his pants when at school. Very frustrating. He just turned 3, so I hope he'll figure it out soon. I've been at this since before he turned 2. He hasnt been in pullups since January (aside for over night, although I dont think he needs them then) |

My dd was like this. She had just turned 3, couldn't care less about pooping in her underwear and nothing I did changed the situation. We stopped trying and left her in pull-ups for a couple months. During the winter break, when she was about 3.5, we decided to let her run around the house bottomless. The lack of a "safety net" completely freaked her out and she figured it out pretty quickly. She would sprint down the hall to the bathroom screaming, "I'm pooping!" She went back to school in underwear. She still had accidents, but they got fewer and farther between as she got better at listening to her body's signals.
Potty training is such a rotten experience. It's my least favorite thing about parenting. |

3 kids. None remember. They know it wasn't them, that's all. They care about who are the best readers, who can run the fastest, and who has upcoming birthday parties. |
