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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

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.

Don't listen to them. Every child is different and learns things in their own time. Just keep doing what YOU think is best for YOUR child and you will raise a great kid!

potty training is easy get some cheap Popsicles and give him one when he goes potty. don't ask him if he has to go potty go potty yourself and announce proudly that you get a popsicle because you went potty. it works super quick.

"Celebrating his natural bodily functions? " The hell are you supposed to do, cheer everytime he goes to the bathroom?

Whatever you choose to do, find some "Nature's Miracle" for your mattress and a waterproof mattress pass for the future. Accidents happen, and going with the flow (pass excuse the pun) is ultimately more productive than anxiety.

You deserve it for listening to some hippy bullshit curriculum that there needs to be a time in which your kid becomes potty trained, make your own decisions dont let idiots tell whats right and wrong

Ignoring the fact that the daycare is being stupid, whyTF wasn't LO in pull-ups?

My son didn't completely potty train until 4. Don't rush it. It is NOT worth the battle. If daycare is being a dick, find another daycare.
