Icon12 Re: Need ideas/advice with potty training problem

A potty-training "problem" with a little bitty boy who apparently just made two? (I assume it is the child born in 2005, rather than 2001, that is in question.) Well, you know what I think about that one, because with me there would BE no "potty-training" involved with a little boy like that, ESPECIALLY if he can break something as sturdy as a potty chair! You see, that's just the thing -- little boys should never HAVE a potty chair because they should be plenty big enough to sit on (and stand before) the toilet before you begin. Didn't you know that there were diapers (with tabs, as they're NOT Pull-Ups) made for children over 35 pounds? They were introduced in 1998 by Pampers, but now they are made by every diaper company and may soon have a size even bigger than that. So why not just stop swimming against the tide and put him back in "tab diapers" with overalls to prevent him from taking them off? Why not realize that just as the average boy's voice becomes manly a full TWO YEARS after the average girl starts her period (the average girl being 12 while her male peers continue to sound childish until age 14), this is yet another milestone in which boys are SUPPOSED to be older when they reach it? Please do the right thing by putting him in diapers, and don't EVER listen to the advice of a parent with a GIRL because if you do you'll be comparing apples to oranges!!! Little boys are SUPPOSED to train later, so just be glad he's off to the right start at being a real "macho" guy, rather than some gay/bi/metro dude who was completely potty-trained by age 2 with spotless white briefs by age 4. Remember -- it's the ones that are most like girls who have the least trouble learning to use the toilet, so just count your blessings because your son will probably be just fine when he gets older if you just do the right thing and put him in regular diapers with clothes that are harder to remove.
