[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child isn't potty trained.  Going to school in pull-ups. Goes when asked but doesn't care about wet diapers. Things are fine and teachers are supportive.[/quote]

Consider the invention of pull-ups a way for the industry to keep your child in (expensive) wear longer. Good for their bottom line. Yeah, kids don't care (and you'll keep buying and paying...) because they are so darn comfortable. Took me to go abroad for a year, where the preschool teacher frowned upon pull-ups for those reasons. She recommended we put our child in thin underwear, so that when an accident happens, it will be as uncomfortable as it should be. What great advice. Took two days, with presumably a couple of not so comfy accidents, and accidents were a thing of the past.

I actually start to think the whole "wait for these signs of readiness" is one big industrial scam. (probably not quite but close enough)[/quote]

Good for you that your daughter functioned like that!! Have you ever considered that every child is different?[/quote]

I have a different child!

My DD is completely pee-trained and even stays dry at night. But. She does not acknowledge her shit and will happily sit all day be it diaper, pull-up, undies. I have a mound of poop-stained undies the weeks of trying, and she currently has a pretty bad rash. SHE DOES NOT CARE.

I've cried rivers of tears over this, but finally I just put her back in pull-ups and trust she will come to care very soon. Her preschool teachers have been very understanding as she is the model preschool student otherwise.[/quote]
