I was TOTALLY Serious

A week or so ago I did a post looking to hire someone to potty train my two youngest kiddos.  Based upon the "applications" I received I have decided one of a few things:
  1. There is only one person who reads this Blog (thanks Kasey!),
  2. You all thought I was just being funny,
  3. You all are independently wealthy and don't need the money, or
  4. You all HATE potty training as much as I do! 
In case you all thought it was just a cute little post on potty training, I want you to know I was TOTALLY SERIOUS when I said I was placing an ad to hire someone to potty train my kids.  (The position has not been filled, technicalities on the age of unaccompanied minors on airplanes, beside I think the airlines would like the child to be potty trained.)  There is nothing that causes me to dislike being a Mom and  feel like I don't have a clue how to be a Mom, more than potty training does.  I remember potty training Elizabeth and it was mostly an ugly battle of stubbornness. I've racked my brain to try to remember how I potty trained Rachel, and you know what . . . I drew a total blank, no memory.  That can't be a good sign. 

Oh well. . . John & Sarah know the drill:  go in the bathroom, pull down your pants, sit/stand, wipe, flush, pull up the pants, wash hands, done.  Perhaps when they decide that sitting in wet soggy diapers and having a yucky smelly bottom is socially unacceptable they will choose to use the toilet.  But until that day happens I guess I am stuck buying and changing diapers.  Perhaps I need to try that adult diaper experiment to get a better perspective (In case you have no idea what I am talking about read this).

I have just one question:  What do you do when they out grow size 6 diapers?  Do they make Depends that little?

They will get it Tracy... I promise, I was going to say that no kids ever goes to kindergarten wearing pull ups, but a friend of mine proved that statement wrong, her kid is going into 1st grade and still wears them. BOYS are TOTALLY different than little girls... they will figure it out soon....
