Every single time a parent in care decides now is the time to potty train they never ever consult with me.
My conversation with DCD this morning:
DCD: so we are going to try potty training over the holiday to see how things go, she is expressing some interest
(child is 20 months and barely talks here).
Me: ok sounds good, keep it positive and if she is ready it will go really well and she will be trained pretty quickly.
DCD: Well my wife has read a bunch of potty books so....
Me: Yeah I have trained a bunch of kids so....sometimes books don’t tell you everything.
Why do parents think they are experts when they have ZERO experience and read a few books written by God knows who?!
