My sister has twins and always carried a little potty in the van when girls were potty training on tripsSneaky_snarky wrote:Regarding the potty training- I think it was a big STFU to all the people commenting about it. Kinda like “see! We do it sometimes so leave us alone”.
To her, that is “potty training”. Sitting them there when they say they want to. Giving the toddler full control and doing no active parenting about it.
I woke up the morning of potty training and threw out the diapers. Told them pee and poop now goes in potty. They ran around naked for a week and we slowly went to loose shorts or pants. Not even right to underwear. Underwear can activate muscle memory and hinder the process. They are more aware when naked or commando. After a month of commando and minimal accidents, then we went to the store and picked out special underwear.
We kept diapers for naps and nights but never for outings. Not even car trips. We established a routine. Everyone tries to go before leaving the house and before coming back home. We use travel potties and my kids HAVE asked me to pull over and use it. So I pulll my happy ass over into a parking lot and set the damn thing up in the car seat. Unbuckle twins and let each do their thing. Rebuckle and (GASP) place the damn chest clip at the proper place, and then go home.
It’s called parenting. Make a decision and follow through.
This whole “oh they will do it when they want” is just another example of letting them run wild and another example of EXCESS. they have the money to flaunt and clearly don’t mind diapering four nasty butts until the age of 4.
