There's no way you can put a child on the potty once an hour. At least I would not be able to do that! I'm way too busy and we're outside longer than that. Good for you for doing the research and presenting the parents with the information. And good for you for sticking to your rules and making them stay as long as they are supposed to. They are anti-authoritarian? Holy crap, that child is going to be a monster, just wait until he is a teenager!

Oh thank goodness you are saying goodbye to this family.

And by the way, I insist on 30 accident free days before pullups can be changed to underwear, and I'm talking about 30 daycare days, which is 6 weeks. I'm super strict because I have carpets everywhere and like I said, I'm too busy for cleaning up accidents daily.
