Kind of running a little experiment here with the dadlabs video. See if they find an audience here, and to see how they look. Thanks for stopping in.
Larue -- We were trying to be funny with the Red Bull -- we put a disclaimer over the end credit hoping people would see that, of course, we don't advocate giving energy drinks to kids.
Jeff -- Take your time.
On a side note, I found an ebook online that tells you how to potty train in 36 hours or something like that. I of course bought it, and my son was 2 and ready to do it, but I still had to modify it some to really make it work in my house with my son. Overall, I think it took more like 5 days, but no night accidents from the get go.
Anyways, very funny video and you sound/act just like I would have imagined. LOL.
Shawnee -- I just got back from ABC Baby Expo -- one whole wing was potties, potty training aids -- amazing.
Kirk -- that's what becomes of being a highly mature parent.
P.S And after having to potty train three sons while my husband talked about helping I love seeing men sweat.....
Thanks for the support!
I wanted to thank you for sharing your video with us!
Take care.
I never potty trained my children at all. They just started doing it by copying the grownups, when their bladders, urethras, and relevant parts of the nervous system were ready, just like how they started walking, talking, and eating with a spoon.
Artificial pottytraining is very hard to do and sets up the first parent/child fights but these struggles just aren't necessary.
My untrained kids were both using the toilet all the time by age 2 1/4, with relapses at 2 1/2 for about a month, and then permanent potty users after that. All kids are different with those muscle/nervous system developments. Mine happened to be the same time, age wise.
If people say they potty trained their kid in two days, the kid was probably coincidentally becoming ready physiologically just then. That explains why the neighbor's kid DIDN'T get trained in two days.
Don't read parent or pottytraining websites. Read urology websites to learn the truth. Urologists will say - don't potty train. By age three, normal kids wouldn't be caught dead with poop in their pants anyway! Peer group pressure is going on big time by age three, believe me!
I did day care for a number of years and yes, there are kids who keep on wetting their pants as they get older and older but they usually are screwed up some other way and don't want to advance in life, preferring to retreat to the security of babyhood for the time being. Normal kids don't need potty training at all.
