Was it offensive to mom?

Probably. But only because she's obviously off in lala land about how he's actually doing.

I'd tell her plainly:
- he doesn't stay dry
- he doesn't ask to go here
- there is obviously no difference to him between diapers and pull ups
- having wet underwear inside a wet pull up doesn't bother him at all

I am concerned that having him wet so many pairs of underwear a day is going to desensitize him to ever feeling the need to keep them dry. It's not a big deal, he'll get there when he's ready, but I feel pushing him so hard before that time comes will only hinder his success in the future. I believe diapers are what should be used until he shows progress with awareness and intent, then pull ups should you choose to use them while he transitions, with underwear being the ultimate reward but only for success.
