That sounds like not too bad of an idea , but if they can help with it it is already too late IMO.

I don't think so. Auntie Sierra doesn't feel like going to jail.

Corporal punishment and potty training don't go very well together, huh??

Nope. As I've mentioned, the "society" raising your children is not my cup of tea and one of the reasons I decided against having any. Would've been nice to deliver the end result at the society's door, but it just doesn't work this way... well, except for Nebraska and even that's about to end (or did it end already?).

Are you sure Sierra? I'd pay well.

I told him that I bought the last pack of pull-ups on Sunday. And when they are gone I expect him to be trained. He also laughs.

Hey, I think the Nebraska Safe Haven Law was a great idea...afterall, I was the one trying to get a road trip together so I could drop my aunt off...or was it my grandmother

I think the term used now is "elimination communication" for training those under 1.

I can see this approach working very well... As I said, I was potty-trained before I ever opened my lil' mouth and started bargaining. Just tell him/her if he/she doesn't go potty Auntie Sierra is gonna fly on her long-handle broom and is gonna use the handle in a potty-training way!
