A daycare would ask the parents to continue with the training at home, if it's not reinforced at home it will be difficult at daycare.
My granddaughter's daycare worked with her mom to train her but it was mom's responsibility to continue the training at home. She also was not allowed to move from the infant room to the 3-4-year-old room until she was trained.
She turned 3 in April and was completely day and night trained by September but it was a joint effort between mom and dad and the daycare.
And that is the issue. Day care could do all they could to train the girls at nursery, but it has to be continued and reinforced by the parents at home and over weekends. No "oh I will just pop them in a nappy for x,y,z, it won't hurt", it will. It will confuse them with the mixed messages. And with them as parents it would be put them in a nappy for an easier life.
All the kids I have helped potty train have been additional needs, and you could tell those whose parents followed through the methods at home and during holidays or even just weekends.
They just don't want to believe their girls are growing up, and are no longer babies, but instead little people with thoughts and feelings and expressible emotions. And retaining the nappies, baby talk, bottles, dummies etc is just one way to do that. It might be fear of change, not wanting to lose the baby as they know they will never have another (if ass is to be believed with last eggs), laziness, obsession with young children or anything. I'm not jealous of them, I actually feel sorry for all of them. The girls for how the parents are stunting them, and the parents for not realising this and using some of the stupid amounts of money "they" (read the girls really) earn to enhance their lives with opportunities. They could be giving the girls dance, gym, sport opportunities, day trips to exciting places not just Costco, even hiring a flaming nanny would enhance the girls lives. I know twins younger than the girls who understand two languages, and speak both, and the girls are struggling to understand and comprehend just one. Let alone reproduce it themselves.
