  Potty training kids and different views...

  when i was growing up, i remember my parents would put those plastic "cover" things over my sisters panties and put those protective sheets on the bed to help them with potty training.

  especially when they were doing great with using the potty on their own during the daytime.. my aunt in texas would beat her kids arses if they wet the bed.

  (now i do not agree with this way).

  Thats too funny about your daughter standing up and peeing.

  My daughter, when we started out with this training thing, decided to try her playhouse toilet...she found out that the little toilet was much smaller than what she needed...lol

  My aunt in Texas was crazy when it came to potty training. She had all of her kids trained (and she bragged about it) by the time they were 9 months old and no older than a year. She would give them a big spanking if they had an accident. I do not agree with that and feel that is on the abuse side of it.

  We would always call her "Military" mom. Even though to us it was a negative name...she wore that name proudly and still does.

  My sister, her son wasn't totally potty trained until he was about 6 years old.

  Some people go overboard with this...and some become lazy with it.

  avoid parents/friends/elders finding out who or what the situation is?.

  do you feel bad for "lying" to ones on here to protect who you really are?.

  I'm wondering about the ones that are "undercover" and are trying to avoid being found out. How do they get their support and tell their situations without changing too much of the story and without being found out about their belief changes...

  Like some of the current Elders or MS that are on here.

  I used the thick training pants and rubber pants with all 3 of my kids. It is a little more messy if the have an accident, but they learn more quickly.

  Oh, I forgot about those...they are cloth but thicker...right? I do use the rubber pants over her panties sometimes but most times I just put her to bed in her undies and get her up 2 times during the night. She does great as long as I remember to get her up. I'm just having the problem of her crying for a diaper when I put her down for her nap.

  What I used to do was always 'lift' them when it was time for me to go to bed. The kiddy had already been asleep for a few hours at that point and were very drowsy.

  Plonk them on the loo, tell them do 'wee wee's' and pop them back into bed. Theyre so drowsy they go straight back to sleep.

  Worked a treat!

  THANK YOU!!!! That is EXACTLY what I've been doing and it works great....I set an alarm (if I go to bed early too) to get her to do her thing. Like you said, she's so drowsy that she falls back to sleep afterwords. If we do have an "accident", it's mainly cause I was lazy and didn't get her to the potty.

  My personal feelings is pull-ups (in this case) is just a way to be a bit more lazy.

  I just got to figure out how to talk to them to show them that they are undoing what I'm trying to do.

  a way for the kids to be able to pull them down easily when they need to go and use the toilet, since your daughter knows to go in the toilet without accidents during the day she should not be using pull ups at all.

  That's what I thought they were made for...mainly to teach them how to pull their undies down and go on their own. She's there with going on her own. She's even there at night time for most of the time and all of the time if you set up a couple of alarms to get her to the potty. She's doing great without diapers/pull-ups but because she has pull-ups somewhere else...she cries for a "diaper" before she goes to bed. I know it's because she's getting them away from home.

  I recommend putting the pullups on over top of the underwear at any sleep period. This is whether she's two or 4 and wetting the bed.

  I don't know about this because she still sees and "feels" the diaper feeling. I trained my 9 year old son when he was 3 and I didn't use any pull-ups. He was totally trained with-in 6 months. But I didn't have anyone undoing what I was doing. I trained him on my own. It takes a bit of work (like getting up with 2 alarms) but it's much faster not using these crutches in the long run.

  Again, she's 100% trained during the day...and about 90% trained for the night. I feel that a person can over use pull-ups. Sometimes I wish they hadn't invented them. My nephew was 6 years old and still using pull-ups. When my sister moved to Texas, my aunt took the pull-ups away from him and he hasn't had a problem since. My sister was a bit lazy not wanting to work with my nephew.

  Again, pull-ups are expensive and I can't afford this...maybe I should ask her grandparents to pay for pull-ups here since they are determined to use them there...(lol, j/k, but I feel like asking!!!)

  Now days they have pull-up. I have mixed feeling about this way for several reasons. First reason is they are too darn expensive. Second, they feel like diaper, they look like diapers...and even when I've gotten them before my daughter would call them diapers even though I'd tell her they are "panties".

  When my daughter spends the night with Grandparents (the ones that are not JW's) they want to put her in the pull-ups. They spend the night quite often and when I put my daughter down for a nap she cries for a diaper (pull-ups). We were doing well with the training and no pull-ups and no accidents. She has accidents sometimes but if you set an alarm once through the night and get her up to go potty, she does not and has not had an accident. I'm not sure how I want to handle this because I feel that they putting her in these "diapers" called pull-ups are defeating my training purposes. She hadn't had an accident once until this morning when she took a small nap. They had told me they had put her in pull-ups.

  There are ways to put her to bed using protective sheets and plastic covers for her panties but they seem to not wanna do this.

  Now, I have her for most of the time but I'm getting frustrated because they have her at least 2 nights in a week and those 2 nights are undoing what progress we make. I'm taking my son camping and they will have her for the weekend...I don't know if I should just let it go or try to convince them not to use them.

  She's potty trained for the most part and now I'm trying to get her totally away from diapers/pull-ups.

  For you parents...how did you potty train your children for the night time? Again, she's totally trained during the day...and 90% during the night.

  I wouldn't want to go to war but I wouldn't fight the governments if it was a need too basis.

  If my son wanted to join, I would be sad but I would support him. I don't have to worry about that right now since he's only 9. Though I have thought about it. (crossing fingers he won't wanna go...lol)
