Do you know what I really like? Writing my name in cement. That's so much fun. One day, I wanna draw something in cement.

In China children are out of diapers around 1. In the US they are out of diapers around 2-3. Personally I feel the US way is much less stressful both for the parents and the children.

That's something that changed for me. Once I became a parent I realized that potty training should occur when the child is ready, not when the parent decides they are ready.

Especially if the parents work for a daiper company.

I would have to agree that the financial stress of having to pay for diapers is pretty heavy but still I think it is less important than the emotional stress. Plus when you are less stressful somehow they would be out of diapers sooner.

My advice, do not spank them. What kids need are limits, not cruelty.
