I dont remember the age of potty training, but I can tell you this for a sure fact.

after 40, never trust a fart.

40? My husband is 36 and has had the problem for years!

My son took longer than my daughter to potty train, but when he decided, he just took off! My baby, who is almost 2 has shown no interest in potty training at all yet.

my son was going on the potty at 2 but now at 3 1/2 he wets himself alot. My girls never did this.

How old normally are kids potty trained by? Saw a boy of 3 years old today still in diapers at the store. Not pull ups, plain old huggies. Is this normal, cause it seemed strange to me, but I don't have kids.

...for girls it's about 18-30 months.

For boys, I guess most stop pissing all over the toilet by, uhm...30-35. Most have it down by their 40th birthday or something may be wrong.

Working with the little one (19 months old) right now on the potty issue. I sing a little song "Pee Pee in the potty Pee Pee in the potty. Stink Stink in the potty. Stink Stink in the potty." This seems to be getting him more interested in going on the potty. And yes I know I am a :dork:

for making up a potty song but he goes running to the bathroom whenever pee or stink stink is mentioned.

That's funny as hell!

I used stickers. I put a piece of paper one the side of the vanity, when they pee they get a regular sticker, when they poop, they got a sparkly sticker. Worked great!

While I understand your point, my daughter is almost 2 and still has "Bob" as she calls it (I know what you guys are thinking, mommy has a BOB too!) anyway, before you judge the parent think of the situation. My daughter has serious health issues that you might not notice if you just saw her. Her pacifier has helped her through alot of hard times as a means of comfort during endless needle sticks and procedures. I know she needs to get off it soon, but I have a hard time taking it away when it helps so much. So, before people judge things like this, especially someone without kids, think of all the possibilities.

We had a hard time of breaking the oldest from a pacifier but what worked for us was this: We told her that Santa doesn't bring little girl's toys who have a binkie. So you should go through it away. She did just that herself. And she had just turned 2 right before we told her the story.

And YES I am a Mean Mommy :lmao:

When kids had 'accidents' I would rub their nose in it, and put them outside.

It worked on the dogs, but for some reason, the kids didn't get it.

Of course its' a joke, duh. I don't ensorse this behavior with either dogs or chilluns.

I know what you mean, my Aunt did the same thing for her boy when he was little. My daughter just got out of the hospital again though (only over night) and "Bob" was a life saver. I just am afraid to take it away when she could crash again any day and then I wouldn't have it. I know, it's probably more my issue than hers. She is just so tiny (19lb) and seems so fragile when she is sick hat it makes me be more sympathetic, and yes, baby her.

Could ya try and substitute the pacifier for a baby doll or bear? Maybe have a "special baby" when she isn't comfortable or scared so she can give up the pacifier.

My friend's son was potty-trained at 2, until his little sister came along and he started crapping himself all over again. :ohwell:

My cats were potty-trained when I got them. :dance:

my son turned 3 in October and we've been trying to get him potty trained but he wants nothing to do with it. He has been in pull ups, for at least 6 months, and he use to love sitting on the potty, but not anymore.

We skipped the pullups when we were potty training, to me they did the same thing as the diaper :ohwell:
