How silly! That was when I naively thought I could have my 2 year triplets go commando on the first warm days of spring and they would then be fully "trained" telling me every time a little urge needed to happen and we would head any working toilet. Now they're almost 3, the end of 2012 is almost here and I have cleaned up more messes than I ever did in my 10 years as a nurse. If my daughter would just drop a deuce in the toilet and not her underwear, I'd take them on a trip to Disney World at this point! I'm waiting for the preschool to kick them out for too many accidents because when I applied and said they were "potty trained" they did just fine when going around naked outdoors. If we lived in a more nudist accepting culture, I'm sure there would be no problem. (BTW, is it okay to cancel their birthday and Christmas and just throw a potty party if the little buggars will just use a toilet?)

I'm not a parent yet, but when I am, I would never subject a child of mine to such foolishness. <br /> What about throwing a big bash because little Tylor learned to keep his room neat or little Hartleigh starting helping her Mommy and Daddy around the house or little Owynn quit throwing tantrums? I mean, for crying in Manhattan, some things are just part of life, and it's doing kids a big disservice when Those Parents act like every fart-bomb the kid toots out of his or her @$$ is a Beethoven sonata! I don't even like reward systems and sticker charts for that reason and would never use them for a child of mine. Some things are NORMAL, and you don't celebrate normalcy. What's going to happen when these kids learn that life isn't going to clap and cheer and throw confetti at their feet for breathing?Sparkinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602607056150726360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-17797974006789251072012-08-21T12:19:17.083-05:002012-08-21T12:19:17.083-05:00Potty parties are a PRIVATE event between the pare...Potty parties are a PRIVATE event between the parents and the child being potty trained.

For a 2 year old a party is fun. It gives them a sense of pride for what they has accomplished. My kids will go on to want to continue to accomplish great things. You are all being judgemental. My boys are teenagers now and are good guys that do not get introuble, do drugs, they get good grades and come to me with anything. I do things like pay them for every A on there report card and buy them things or throw them parties for being on the honor roll. It makes them want to continue to do well.

I had no idea this happened. But, FYI- some of us use the term "potty party" for something entirely different- it's merely a potty training day and there are NOOOOOOO guests!!!!! Ew! This is private. And there are no rediculous themed cakes or wreaths, lol. Dr. Phil has talked about it before. So, just thought I'd throw that out there so if you're chatting with someone at the park and they mention "potty party", you might want to clarify which one they mean. Parties in general have gotten out of hand. Even birthday parties. Besides, don't you think that is a lot of pressure for a kid? Like they must be feeling- I've had this party I better not mess it up no- type pressure? Or the pressure of what if I have an accident at my potty party?

Usually I never tune in or listen to the mindless activities that occur on these shows, but for some reason my ears perked up during this one. Maybe it was because Oso was helping the little boy on the show learn to ..... *wait for it*..... BLOW HIS NOSE. While I appreciate that the show is trying to promote hygene or I at least hope that that was the point - the fact that my 2 year old sat there mindlessly for 25 minutes watching a bear teach a kid how to blow his nose was beyond me. This is what kids find interesting? I cannot imagine being invited to a potty party.... sounds pretty ridiculous to me. Unless there there were maybe cocktails served for the adults? Then, I'm in! Keep writing - you're hilarious and I love catching up every Monday morning on your weekly rants and insight!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
