I'm curious what your thoughts are on potty training?
Do you feel it is more the parent's responsibility? Your responsibility?
I have a 2.5 dcb who got sent in underwear. Mom says he used the potty the past 2 days. He has never shown an interest here, so it surprised me.
Sure enough, he had an accident. Not a big one, but enough that I put his underwear in the washer.
My policy states that potty training is the parent's responsibility, and that once they are potty trained at home, I will assist here.
Is that unfair? I don't think it's my job to potty train, but this child is here 5 days a week. Should it be 50/50? He knows where the potty is and I tell him to use it if he has to go or to tell me. He's never used it and always goes in his pull-up. I don't ask him or take him to the potty to sit on it for a period of time.
Thoughts?
