[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 730020, member: 1550"] Old Hand, I didn't train at all :) I didn't care when they were trained. There was no urgency.....I was a stay at home with a part time night job (my ex babysat) so I didn't have to train them for daycare. Bart was trained at 3. Princess was 2 1/2 like my grandbaby, her daughter. Sonic with his developmental delays was 4. Jumper went to the potty and did it at about 18 months then came, diaper off to take my hand and show me what she did. So without sitting down with them while they sat on the potty....they all got trained in their own time. And back then I got the store brand paper diapers...Osco. Cheapo ex made a fuss if I got name brands! They were pretty cheap. The price has gone up! I was shocked at the price of Granddaughter's diapers, but her parents only got really good ones for her. She peed a lot :) When I was pregnant with Bart my mother in law offered a diaper service for us but both of us wanted disposables. Looking back I am surprised ex didn't take the offer. I don't think it really matters what age your kids are potty trained unless it's abnormally late. Then you have to wonder.....why. otherwise....I dunno. That was low on my radar of things that concerned me. I am not sure of the age but I think my mother said I was trained by 18 months. In the age of cloth diapers and rubber pants, less work for her. I am not sure but I think she had a diaper service. I kind of remember a white truck with diapers on I, cloth ones with pink and blue lettering. I can not be positive. I do have this amazing long term memory but I can't always be sure of it. Could be that I just remember the truck driving down my street and it wasn't for us. The people who lived around us were mostly pretty rich. I am guessing but I doubt they washed diapers by hand or even in machines. Heck, many had maids and nannies. That I do remember. Even we had maid named Myrtle for a while and we were not rich! [/QUOTE]
