[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whenever they feel ready (as long as they're fully toilet trained, which in our family, means being able to go into the bathroom with a closed door, handle everything they need to do including washing hands, and come out by themselves).

One kid felt ready at 4, the other at 6, another at 7. [/quote]

You wouldn’t let kids sleepover who still use diapers for overnight? [/quote]

[b]I wouldn't let my kids go to a sleepover if they need help in the bathroom, and I don't want to help anyone else's kid in the bathroom.[/b] [/quote]

Same. I didn’t let my nephew sleep over with his older brother until he was night trained. No, changing a 4 year old’s diaper in the morning is not “no big deal.” If he could handle it on his own, cool, but I’m not wiping butts unless it’s an emergency.[/quote]

It really isn’t a big deal. It’s a lot better than them wetting the bed and having to wash everything. I’ve watched older kids who still need them and I’m thankful they have them available.[/quote]

So many big kids now use overnight pull-ups and it’s not something that I think should prevent them from participating in sleepovers and other social activities. [/quote]

There are multiple people here, so I bolded my earlier statement. I don't care if a kid wears a pullup or a car battery to my house - I just won't let them sleep over if they need help in the bathroom. And I won't let my kids sleep over anywhere until they're fully toilet trained. I won't put that on another parent.[/quote]
