[quote=Anonymous]Your kid should not be in Pull Ups that old. You are missing (/have already missed) your window of time where they should learn to hold it at night or get up to go if they need to before morning. You can't just let your kid not learn this. It's really bad for them on a muscular level, and it ruins the brain-body connection associated with this skill. My sister let her kids be in Pull Ups at night til they were like 7. I don't get it. I feel bad for all these kids.

This little girl did you a favor, which was shaming your son in an effective way to hopefully prompt him to want to learn. You have done him no favors. If it were my kid, my very first thought would have been my own shame as a mother for failing my child this way and causing him embarrassment, and a personal vow to teach him ASAP to get him out of Pull Ups. It's interesting that your first pass is to snark on the older child, as if it's her fault.

Weaning off of Pull Ups at night is hard. Potty training is hard. My three year old had many accidents at night, and it sucked. But now he knows to potty before bed and never has accidents. No one likes it, no one said it was easy.

But you have to do it, you're a mother. [/quote]
