[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Diapers are definitely not easier than your kids using the toilet. It takes a few weeks but no more diaper bag, changing tables, diaper smell, etc. It’s so worth it. They should show prerequisite skills first though so i wouldn’t try training yet, but you do you. [/quote]

I disagree with this, although certain family and lifestyle factors might support your conclusion. DS #1 - wasn't interested in potty training until he was just over 3. We tried causally, but he wasn't interested before that. When he finally was ready, it was so easy to train him. Basically, it took a few weeks of minimal effort and he was done. Easy peasy.

DS #2 was born when DS #1 was two. DS #2, inspired by others at daycare, got very interested in the toilet when he was a little over two. He started wearing underwear, then, but there were so many accidents. Not only that, but the logistics of being alone out and about with a 4 year old and a 2 year old who is not well-established with the toilet was so stressful. That meant abandoning carts in the middle of the story to whisk two kids into the bathroom. When I was in the thick of that, I wished I had waited longer before
