[quote=Anonymous]I nanny for a 3 year old and the parents attitude towards her is strange. She is not potty trained, doesn't dress herself or even know how to pull up her own pants, still uses a pacifier and whines about everything. When I have told them I'm happy to help with potty training they just say oh well maybe. they asked me to help once and I spent the whole day with her and she was peeing on the toilet and very excited about it.

When I came back over the weekend they said they were too busy to try it. They have a strange attitude with her older brother also. His teacher has repeatedly suggested he stay back and repeat his kindergarten year because he is not ready for 1st grade and they keep refusing saying he will feel like an outcast if he's the oldest in his grade. ? Its like they are in denial about their children. Is it me or should an almost 4 year old be potty training? She is going to be 4 in 2 short months. The 18 month old I used to watch was dressing herself and telling us she had to use the bathroom. I don't think there's anything wrong with these children, I think it is literally laziness on these parents behalf. Is this a hopeless situation? [/quote]
