How old is too old for diapers?

[Other Mummy]

I have a 3.5yr old DCB that is still in diapers. Will NOT tell me when he has to go, but is perfectly able to go as he has done so in the past (hit and miss) . He would rather play, than take 5 min and use the potty. I'm tired of this becoming a power struggle. DCM is being lazy at home. So, whatever, no skin off my back. This kid is going to school in Sept. in diapers. That I am sure of. Next time I take on a new DKC, it will be in my contract that if they are NOT potty trained by age 3, the cost of daycare goes up!

Funny, I always joke about some days wanted to charge by the poop. Maybe we should after they turn 3. LOL

My daughter is a Sept baby. When she was young she wouldn't toilet train to save her life! She wore pull ups literally until weeks before JK started. I thought for sure I'd have to pull her registration. We tried everything! Everyone would always tell me to take her to registration for JK and get her excited about it and she would use the toilet. NOPE! Nothing worked. They just suddenly she started and that was the end of pull ups and the start of underwear. She's never even had an accident over night.

Kids are all different.

Something that worked for my son is using the phrase "stop what you're doing and go" It's part of an Elmo training video I think. He still says it sometimes when he's playing and he stops to go and he's almost 6.
