Today, according to daycare, my son is behind in his potty training curriculum because we are not "celebrating his natural bodily functions" enough. He turned 2 a week ago, and he peed on our bed last night because we're trying to meet this demand. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my two year-old is being potty trained. He got the gist of it and actually did #1 and #2 in the potty and after our little celebratory dance, I went to get him a cookie (which took me two seconds). I come back to see him covered in shit and pee because he tried to go empty the potty himself. FML
Today, my 2-year-old son figured out that if he takes his pull-up off and DOESN'T go on the potty, he can pee all over things. FML
Today, my 2-year-old daughter started showing signs of understanding the potty training concept. She announced to my mother-in-law that she needed to go potty, only to be flatly told, "No, you don't." So she crapped herself. Now it's going to take forever to train her. FML
Today, my son learned how to use the toilet for the first time. He was so excited he started peeing on the floor. FML
Today, I discovered that my 8-year old is not fully toilet trained when a turd fell out of his pants, shortly after introducing him to his new babysitter. FML
Today, in an attempt to potty train my step-son, my boyfriend and I put underwear on him, hoping that when he peed himself, he would realize using the potty is the way to go. Instead, he peed while sitting on the couch, got up, took off the underwear, and then switched seats. FML
Today, my 3-year-old missed the toilet. In the time it took me to get paper towel to clean it up, my one-year-old decided it was the perfect puddle to play in. FML
Today, I woke up to my two year old crawling in bed with me and saying, "I poop". Normally this would be ok, but this morning she decided she didn't need a diaper. FML
Today, it's 3:42 a.m. and my son is crying because I won't let him play with his dirty diaper. FML
Today, while working at a daycare, I had to change a kid's diaper. This may seem normal for a daycare worker, but not when it's a 7-year-old kid who is still not potty-trained and shat their pants. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Tell him to celebrate his bodily functions all over his teacher

According to pediatrician Emmi Pikler 95% of all children manage to successfully use the toilet during the day by the time they turn three without forcing it onto them. The daycare needs to chill.

Tell them to stick it. He's your kid and he'll be ready when he's ready. Let him sleep in his own bed and let him figure out the potty for himself. Ugh. FYL, OP.

Oh eff the day care people. He will do it when he is ready and forcing the issue makes it worse.

My boys were not ready potty trained until 3 years old. Even then it took a good month or two for them to recognize the sensation to go. If the kid is not ready then it is a horrible experience to try and force them to potty train.

Wait a second- are you telling me you can put potty training in your curriculum? Why did nobody let me know? Now I can put "several years of experience" in mine! Hooray!

Wth does "celebraring bodily functions" even mean? It's potty training. Just teach the little guy where he can and can't do his business without all that psychological mumbo jumbo

Time to pull him out of THAT daycare. Expecting a two year old to be potty trained, let alone referring to it as 'curriculum', is wrong on so many levels.

Children don't develop the hormones required to check their bladder in their sleep until 2 and a half. I wouldn't even start night training til he is 3. i have 3 year old twins, they mastered toilet training within a month - during the last 6 months. Your daycare has no idea what they're on about.

He's too young in any case to be able to control his bodily functions. That usually doesn't develop until three or four.

Screw the daycare people, they are not your child's parents and have zero say in how/when he gets potty trained. They're just trying to save themselves the trouble of diaper duty, which is ridiculous.

My parents put Cheerios in the toilet to make it a game for my brother. Idk if that would help, but good luck!!
