[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP who still wet the bed at age 8 (what a distinguishing characteristic).  I wasn't objecting to the idea of potty training at age 2.5.  I have 2 kids, both of whom day trained easily between 2.5 and 3.  Both of them tried night training; it took pretty easily with one, the other...not so much.  And so he remains in a pull up at night at age 5.  We give it a chance periodically, but if it doesn't work, no problem.

I was reacting to the googly eyed shock post, where you said you "fear" having an 8 year old in pull up, and the one before that, saying that the mom should "do the kid a favor" by getting him out of pull ups.  My point was that I was that kid, and I would have preferred the pull ups.  And I was disagreeing with the underlying premise of both posts- that bedwetting issues are caused by lazy parenting.  Believe me, my parents tried it all.  Do you all really think the mom of the 8 year old never tried to get him to use the toilet at night?

Also, I disagree that there's a clear link between relatively late training and bed wetting issues.  In fact, it may go the other way, as discussed here.   http://www.babble.com/toddler/dangers-potty-training-early/[/quote]
