[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, here is how potty training went for my kid.  For many months, we offered opportunities to sit on the toilet.  Sometimes he did, sometimes he didn't.  Sometimes he went, sometimes he didn't.  As time went by, he started occasionally asking to go and more often than not, telling us when he needed a new diaper.  At 3 yrs, 2 mos, we put him in underpants and explained he needed to tell us when he had to go to the bathroom.  We asked/reminded maybe 3 times that day, but generally, he asked to go.  He had one accident.  So the next day we went out and he had one accident out of the house but none at home.  That was two months ago and no accidents since.  Not one.  Sure, some people will say I am disgusting and lazy and every other terrible thing, but personally I thought it made more sense to wait until my child could actually be potty trained rather than sit him on the potty every 30 minutes just to get him out of diapers.  That's not potty trained.  If you wait until they are ready, it is very easy.  [/quote]

I think it depends on how you define "potty trained".  I'm guessing PP defines "potty trained" as being able to use the potty reliably and independently and without reminders or accidents. If so, then PP has higher standards than I do. My definition of "potty trained" is being out of diapers.[/quote]
