I refuse to train myself to watch the clock and put them on the potty. If I think about it I will do it, and I will do it after meals/before nap etc but I certainly won't be running to the potty every 15 minutes just in case...they MUST wear diapers and pull ups here until they use words to tell me they need to go BEFORE they go..and this must happen consistently for an entire MONTH before I will allow underwear.

I have one who does it always at home with no accidents but has NEVER, not once asked to do it here and so she must continue to wear pull ups until she does...I don't have time to be cleaning up soiled underwear and urine/feces from my floors.

I find many parents want us to do the training and expect that it will just happen...if they are ready they will TELL YOU that they need to go, they won't need you telling them they need to go. Both my own children (one boy and one girl) all trained within 3 days because they were aware, ready and told me they needed to go. Never had an accident, never wet the bed. Were both day and night trained in those 3 days (which was a long weekend). My daughter was 2.5 and my son was a month shy of his 3rd birthday.
