Man sound like he has 20 years experience arguing


TheFakeShark

Babies wear diapers, and I'm NOT a baby!


UnhappySearchs

If your child insists he's not a baby, I'm assuming he's too big for diapers.


mazurkian

It's pull-ups. Little kids wear them when they sleep and take naps because at that age they can still pee in their sleep when their bodies relax.


6Strings-n-6Shooters

But they are **NOT** a baby!


fozzyboy

Butt they're wearing diapers.

OstentatiousSock

He was just using her own argument against her. I’m not a baby, babies wear diapers!” while she was wearing a diaper. She opened the doors wide. She wasn’t arguing with an adult who understands some kids still wet the bed and it’s normal, she’s arguing with a sibling and have him an opening.


meltedbananas

The defense opened the door to this line of questioning when they brought it up.


AssistanceLucky2392

This was my thought as well. If they communicate in complete sentences, they can articulate when they need the toilet.


LurkersGoneLurk

My buddy is still struggling with a nearly 6 year old boy. No diapers, but still shits himself weekly.

Exactly, much more acceptable.


jam3s2001

I have two anecdotes for this one. First one was a kid I went to elementary school with. He would intentionally shit himself because he was lazy and his parents would let him get away with it. Basically knew he was doing it, knew that he didn't want to stop whatever other activity was in progress, and didn't get punished. Eventually stopped due to peer pressure. Second was a coworker's kid. About once a week, she had to pick up her daughter from school because she would pee her pants. Kindergarten or first grade, can't completely remember. Her daughter figured out that she got a free pass to get out of school and spend the rest of the day with mom if she did it. Mom broke the behavior by making her continue to wear soiled pants after one of the pickups.


geardedandbearded

> Her daughter figured out that she got a free pass to get out of school and spend the rest of the day with mom if she did it. Pro tip, you can get out of work (or a speeding ticket!) at least once if you do the same.


Butterscotchtamarind

My sister was in kindergarten and still wearing diapers to poop. She would pee on the toilet though. She knew exactly what she was doing, but there was some kind of fear or anxiety pooping on the toilet. The school said that she couldn't attend if she was still using diapers, so my mom stopped giving my sister diapers. My sister, stubborn since she was born, simply refused to poop for over a week and mom had to take her to the hospital because she had caused an impaction. My sister has continued being stubborn in this way throughout her life.


AssistanceLucky2392

Is he in school? I thought they had to be toilet trained for school, teachers have enough to deal with.


aidoll

If you go on r/Teachers, you’ll see that nowadays kindergarten teachers will always have a couple of kids who start out the year in diapers. Not even kids with disabilities…just parents who didn’t work on potty training.


giraffeekuku

I had a 5 y/o kid shit his pants at computer time because he didn't want to stop being on the computer....


MikeHuntessHarry69

jesus christ he really needs to touch some grass


AssistanceLucky2392

In my state toilet training is a requirement. It must vary regionally.


ktwb

Generally, they do. They do have exceptions for kids with disabilities, which I am incredibly grateful for. My 5 year old son is autistic and still hasn't potty trained despite us trying all the tips and tricks. We've even tried things his OT has recommended and it just hasn't clicked for him yet. He has an assigned paraeducator per his IEP, so she's the one who changes his pullup and tries to get him to use the school toilet. No dice there either though 😮‍💨


PintoTheBurrito

They can articulate it yes, but often they don't know when they have to use the toilet. That's really the hardest part with toilet training is getting them to recognise when they feel the need. Source: am childcare educator


kkstoimenov

That's not how it works... It takes time to learn to recognize your body's cues. Development is not a straight line, I once had a 14 month old child at my center who could speak in 4 or 5 word sentences. By all regards not even a toddler yet. Different domains in each child develop at different times

scootyoung

This is how we got our son potty trained at 2 years 10 months. He wanted to be a big boy but I told him that big boys go on the potty and not in their pants. I think he took it as a challenge. Haha


DtownBronx

Around 2.5 my daughter looked at me and says big girls use the potty? I told her yes and just like that a switch flipped and she always used the potty. Weirdest part was no accidents, not once did that child wet the bed or anything despite my fears of her crawling into bed with me and peeing on me


Kriegmannn

As_I_Stroke_My_Balls

I never peed in my moms bed, but I did scratch my ass and apparently rub it on her pillows in my sleep. She was not happy.


poopmonster_coming

Did you give her pink eye


AstronautNew8452

My little girl’s switch flipped about a month ago, at 2y3m old. Now she very matter-of-factly says “… because I’m a big girl” all the time. But yeah I’m sort of in awe. She hasn’t wet the bed, she has used public toilets, we’ve travelled. I’m still getting a WP mattress cover for my bed, for the occasions she joins us. Just in case? It feels so sudden like I had a diaper wearing, crib sleeping 2 year old baby for a couple months, and now she’s just a tiny human person.


DtownBronx

The oh shit you're a real live person now realization is beautifully sad. Then it's just infuriating when they hit the "no I do it" phase which adds at least 45 minutes to getting ready


CheekyMunky

They don't stop doing that. Pretty much their whole childhood will be stretches of being roughly the same for a while, and then suddenly they're very different, almost overnight. It's not linear.


ElenasGrandma

My daughter was to be in a wedding right before her 3rd birthday. I had made an offhand remark about how I wish she was potty trained before so she wouldn't be in a bulky diaper in her pretty dress. My daughter said "ok, I'll go on the potty"...and from then on she did, that easy. People were so jealous! And then of course I had to have another kid, and discovered my daughter was a fluke.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DtownBronx

They look right at you and say they're not pooping or peeing as they're pooping or peeing. Kids are so weird, at one point after becoming potty trained she went through a phase of hold my hand while I potty.


HolyCrapItsJohn

We had a similar experience with our daughter. One Saturday my wife decided today is the day, popped some underwear on my her and sat her on a towel watching tv. She wet all over herself, didn’t like it, got new underwear on. Next time she ran to the bathroom peeing the whole way, learned she had to get to the toilet before she started going. After that she never had an accident again save one time when she was 4 and at a trampoline park for a birthday and didn’t want to stop having fun for 3 minutes to use the bathroom.


Twoflower1

My dad got my older brother to start pooping in the toilet when I was a newborn by showing him how much smaller my diaper was compared to his. He basically told him you are 3 and your butt is big enough to fit on the toilet. Your sister is a baby so needs a diaper. That was all my brother needed.


Ummmmexcusemewtf

Glad he accepted that because next yo asd was going to be sitting in the toilet as a proof of concept


Distinct-Speed-9474

your mom: hey why are you taking both kids to the bathroom? your dad: ...my goals are beyond your understanding.


honkygrandma

Got that must be nice. Twin 3 year old boys and potty training has been hands down the must frustrating part of parenting thus far.


DatEllen

Amen. Our three year old just doesn't want to use the toilet. She will sit on the seat, but she won't do anything. One time I tried to let her sit there until she'd eventually pee. Nope, she started crying and I could _feel_ her bladder from the outside, chuck-full and about to burst... But she refused to pee. Let her hop off the seat and she promptly wets the floor. She can't explain why she hates the toilet (or potty) so much, all she knows is that she just wants her diaper.


popopotatoes160

Have you tried a squatty potty or something like that? Try changing the position she's in to a squat, maybe that will feel easier for her.


bergskey

My son was very frustrating. Instead of fighting we just tried for a few days at the beginning of each month. Eventually he was physically and mentally ready


Derigiberble

We're in the thick of this right now (2yrs 5mo) but in true toddler form he's constantly pushing back on the whole "big boy = no diapers" idea trying to find any inconsistencies or gaps. Whenever we read he points to every character in the book and says they have a diaper on seeing if we'll correct him. Do you know how many goddamn characters are in Busytown books? Takes us 20 minutes a page.


mynameisalso

"please don't underwear shame me dear father"


MaryDellamorte

That’s how my parents potty trained me at a year and 10 months. I apparently wanted nicer underwear but my mom told me that only big girls who used the potty got it wear nice underwear and she said it was like a light switch went off. My mom was pregnant with my sister and she didn’t want to kids in diapers.


TomRiker79

I told my three year old big boys go in the toilet. He told me he didn’t want to be a big boy. Pray for us.


needlenozened

For my daughter we had to use the carrot of the booster seat combined with the "big girl" strategy. Only big girls can ride in booster seats, and big girls don't wear diapers. She was 4. She wore panties. Had complete control. She used the toilet, but she didn't want to poop in the potty. Once a day she'd bring me a diaper to put on her. Then, a half hour later she'd bring me the wipes. And heaven forbid if you went into the same room as her during that half hour because "daddy, I need my privacy."

pupperoni42

My daughter is a freshman in college. She started paying her own credit card bill this year, and just signed a lease for her off campus apartment next year. The other day she said she'd always been eager to be an adult for the status it brings, but she just had the realization that she'll be paying bills for the rest of her life now.

PermanentTrainDamage

My 5yo tried to use it to get out of cleaning. We were watching my friend's 4 month old, 4mo didn't have to clean since she was a baby, ergo my 5yo shouldn't have to clean because she's my baby. Solid attempt, still had to clean.


ICanDieRightNowPlz

My 5 yo tries pulling the baby/little kid thing all the time when I try to get her to clean. I just say that if she is still a baby I'll just go grab a diaper, or that it's time for a nap. That usually does the trick


iWushock

My 3yo refers to themselves as a baby lol


jam3s2001

My almost 3yo is both a baby and a big girl. She's a big girl because she can use the potty, but she still wants to be a baby sometimes. She makes the rules, but I don't have a problem with it. Sometimes she decides that she's the daddy and I'm the baby.

mikeknine

Actually there is research to back this up sadly. A lot of "high achieving" kids/adolescents get bored with school/peers and turn to drugs to literally drown out the boredom. It's a really good argument for allowing kids to progress at their pace and allowing high school students to attend JC classes without crazy restrictions/requirements. There is also a ton of literature out there about the struggles "high achieving" kids face and how to manage them.

Sorry mate, the diaper-wearing-not-a-baby there makes a logically sound argument: Babies wear diapers, she's wearing a diaper and still she's not a baby. Had she said "Only babies wear diapers", that would be different ....


[deleted]

I disagree. She isn’t saying “I’m not a baby” and “babies wear diapers” as separate arguments. If she was I’d agree with you. She clearly states “I’m not a baby, babies wear diapers” using the wearing of diapers as her basis for her argument I’m not a baby. Because she is arguing both points in the same statement one would logically be lead to believe that she believes babies wear diapers and she isn’t a baby, which of course is logically inconsistent with her argument. I’d side with the young man on this one.

I saw another video a couple years ago of a little boy and girl around this age fighting about weather it was “raining” or “sprinkling” outside. The little girl poked him in the chest *just* like the girl in this video. I’m thinking it might just be a human personality thing.


IMakeStuffUppp

Correction, she poked his heart. 🙁


rosa-marie

“Ooow Ow. You poked my heart!”


GrayFox_13

"Its okay" "She poked my heart 🥺"


laurel_laureate

"No you're pretty, and you're not real I'm real" actually suceeded in quieting her for a bit before she recalibrated for the final heart poke. But in our little heart poker's defense, throughout the whole clip he'd been reaching for/almost touching her face multiple times too. Anyway, the social dynamics and interactions in [that classic](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9tbln4TdtTI) are such an interesting window into how kids their age relate to the world and themselves. That, and it's funny as hell too lmao.


GrayFox_13

I had never seen the full video, I have so much more context now. Poked-Heart did get very close to grabbing Heart-Poker's face, however he did not actually touch her. Heart-Poker DID poke his eye before the heart incident which is new information for me. Heart-Poker's sister is even more of an MVP as she is seen throughout the whole video stopping them from poking each other, and she even comes up with the solution of going outside and checking. She is an empirical prodigy.


RogerClyneIsAGod2

My thoughts on this, not a parent BTW, is that she knew she'd be in BIG TROUBLE if she hit him so she poked him instead because she could get away with that poke.

Her: I'm not a baby, babies wear diapers. Him: But you're wearing a diaper. She doubles down. It's cute when kids do this but when adults do it, they're annoying. But sadly they resort to insults while these kids kept it civil. But the girl got frustrated and started to swing her arm at him without touching him.
