Yeah, I think I know who I'm not hiring as a babysitter

Judgemental much?? Tots potty train at their own pace. Each one is different. And what works for one, may not work for another. If that method worked for your kids, great. But loading kids up with salt is not only horribly unhealthy, it can be dangerous for them.

Anything you said after "wow, your kid is 2 and it's not toilet trained?" became completely invalid. Stop being a douche.

I agree, 2 is a bit old to not be potty trained.

Maybe the kid just turned two?? Do you really know tons of potty-trained one-year-olds? I work with that age group and most kids don't get the hang of it until around two.

#31 Thats what caught my eye too. As soon as I read "it" I got pissed off. You make it sound like you're potty training a puppy

31 and 56, I agree that the comment was douchey and out of touch with reality. But I sometimes don't call kids that age by a gender-specific pronoun either, because, well, it's sometimes really hard to tell. Also they're not really aware enough to take offense yet. Also, I have met puppies that were smarter than most two-year-olds in my acquaintance.

That's right, OP did mention the gender in the post! Sometimes that goes unsaid. Even if 14 wasn't trying for a special level of insensitivity, "it" sure succeeded admirably!

Regarding gender neutrality, although it's probably technically incorrect, you can just say 'they're not potty trained yet'. Technically plural but everyone knows what it means and you don't sound like a monster, which I think is more important here.

2 is typically the age potty training begins. Maybe 1.5 if you're really lucky.

That is hilarious! Every child is different though. The 3 day method is exactly what worked with my little girl a few weeks ago! She's not even 2 yet.

You struck potty training gold!! It took us months of trying pretty much everything, including sticker charts, incentives... We finally caught a break around Christmastime. "Mr. Winkles" (his Elf on the Shelf) would "tell Santa" if he used the potty or not. The gift of a potty trained kid made me believe in Santa all over again haha

Ha! That's genius! I am so grateful that she just did it, I'm not sure I'll be so lucky when we have more babies though. She has had an independent "do it yourself" attitude since she was walking. I think that definitely helped!

I am 32 and not up to date with current vernacular, what are J's?

Jordan's like the famous B-ball player from Space Jam.

I'm reminded of an anecdote I read about a man who, when walking his dog, always said one thing when the dog was preparing to pee and another when it was preparing to poop. At some point, the man went on vacation and a friend walked his dog for him while he was away. He got a call from the friend that the dog wasn't going to the bathroom, and the friend was worried and wanted to take him to the vet. The man had a lightbulb moment and suggested the friend use the same pee/poop phrases. The friend did, and the relieved dog relieved itself. Can you imagine always needing to hear a whistle before going to the bathroom? %)
