[quote=Anonymous]OP, my 4.5 year old wears pull ups to bed still. It's not unusual. These PPs are acting superior for no reason at all. Because they can, I guess? Our pediatrician has told us that between a third to half of her 4 yr olds are not fully night trained yet. You're good.

What's not normal is watching your child tease and make fun of a younger child over a developmental milestone and saying nothing. That really surprises me. I would absolutely mention it to your friends and also let them know that this is something you care about. We don't hang out with people who condone teasing or name calling, and especially not if it's an older or bigger child doing it to someone younger. Our family believes everyone deserves respect and kindness, and you don't have to "earn" it by wearing underwear to bed or making sure your kids wear underwear to bed. You just get it for being a human.

To all these PPs: congrats on not pissing your bed at night, that's a big win! Now see if you can learn other adult skills like empathy, kindness, and accepting that not everyone does everything on your timeline.[/quote]
