then how are you sending this message? [/quote]
^^pretty sure that was perfect satire. [/quote]

Seriously, though the above was satire, your child should not be able to read the words on the package of diapers before they are potty trained.

I'll answer, OP -- if the child is developmentally average, there is no reason other than lack of follow-through on the part of the parents. This is why children are often potty-trained at daycare, yet aren't on the weekends. Diapers now are so easy (don't get me started on pull-ups), that it is easier for many parents to just put one on the kid and throw a spare in a bag, rather than make sure the child has used the toilet before outings and has one available at all time on outings. When cloth diapers were likely to leak and make a mess, potty-training was more attractive to parents. The new diapers rarely leak.[/quote]

[b]I am a very experienced daycare parent[/b] and I've literally never seen a child who is potty trained at daycare and not on the weekends.  I'm not even sure how that is possible.[/quote]

What does that even mean? A very experienced daycare parent?

Anyway I know of several people whose kids are potty trained at daycare but the parents didn't keep it up and the child would regress/not be potty trained on weekends. [/quote]
