strongly agree with willow. letting boy continue using underwear when you know good and well that he isnt going to potty independently is setting him up for failure, desensitizing him to the feel of wet/soiled cotton. putting him in underwear covered with a pull up is giving this mom the feeling that she is sucessfully potty training her child, pull ups feel like progress to a parent, thats why they are so popular. i have a kid here that has been in pull ups for 18 months because mom doesnt want to "regress" to diapers. i dont really care because this now 3.5 year old changes her own soiled pull ups, there is nothing i can do to change this moms mind, and this is the only issue from an otherwise perfect daycare family.
