[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

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. [/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]

Older kids wear pull ups and can handle them and change them by themselves. A diaper is totally different and requires an adult to help get it on. Wtf?[/quote]

Use whatever works best for your child. I’ve seen kids who use both. Not a big deal either way.[/quote]

Right, but when talking about sleepovers, the question is self sufficiency. If a kid can manage their own diaper, then NBD. But a child old enough to sleep over someone else’s house is too old to have a non-parent helping them with undergarments.[/quote]

Mine only sleep over with other family or with some close family friends I’ve known for a very long time. I’d trust them to help if it was needed. I used to babysit when I was a teen and if a kid needed help with something I didn’t mind helping.[/quote]
