[quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of ways that I differ from my current MB on childcare approach, so I typically just bite my tongue and do it her way rather than rock the boat.  It's not things that are putting DC at risk, just things that I think make life tougher (inconsistent discipline, etc.)

Now Mb is pregnant with #2 (Due around Halloween) and has decided that DC (will be 2 in 3 weeks) has to be potty trained by then.  She feels that DC is ready because DC likes to watch a potty video and points at the toilet when you say "potty."  She is also convinced that DC knows when she has to go because DC will point to her diaper and say "poop."  My interpretation is that DC enjoys any screen time regardless of topic, and that DC does point and say "poop," but. I have yet to detect a correlation between that and having actually peed or pooped.  I think DC just figured out that that gets attention and does it often because of that.  DC is very emotional (diagnosed with self-regulation issues) and likes to play with her toy potty (by dragging it around and using as a stepstool for things she's not supposed to get into mostly), but doesn't like to sit on the potty and has expressed fear of the real toulet on several occasions.  I predict that DC is going to have a tough time training this young and that the best case scenario will still lead to major regressions when the baby is born in just a few months.

Say something and if so, how to phrase it?[/quote]
