[quote=Anonymous]Y'all are nuts. My kid was not fully potty-trained at almost-4. But it was summer and it was hot as hell and we wanted to take him to the splash park. We worried about accidents in that specific settings for obvious reasons, so we'd put him in a swim diaper at the splash park, just so we didn't have to spend the entire time we were there stressing out about it. It was obvious he was wearing a swim diaper (disposable because he didn't even fit the reusable kind at that age). I'm sure people judged because that's what people do, but no one person, child or adult, ever said a word and DS had a great time and finished potty training not long after. People were friendly, kids still played with him, etc. Kids that age really don't care, and they've generally seen it all because there is such a broad range of potty training times, from as young as 18 mo to as old as 4 or 5 in a small number of kids. They don't judge unless someone teaches them to. Don't teach your kids to judge something like that! You are teaching them a cruel behavior. And also one day your kid will be the one late to a milestone and you will be grateful for the grace of others.

So reading these replies about how it is cruel to let a kid this age run around his own damn house in a pull-up he wears to bed? What on earth? Like I said: y'all are nuts. MYOB and better hope others don't treat you as harsh as you treat them.[/quote]
