had a little to much to drink last night! i have worn diapers for over ten years now. i was married for almost three years and i never told my wife. ijust didnt wear when she was around! i have recently opened up to her and a few friends about it and for the most part people are pretty accecting! my dilema is i have a two year old son who we are trying to potty train. when he tells me no dont want to go potty it is hard to tell him he has to. because i know using your diaper sometimes feels so much better!

Yes, but you do it so he can have options. If you don't train him, he's in for a lot of trouble. Now on the other hand if he has problems along the way, you'll be very understanding, won't you? And if he's trained and then years from now decides he likes to wear diapers, you'll also understand.

If you give in on any one thing simply because you like to indulge yourself once in a while, you'll have a very spoiled child and a miserable time for yourself as you try to handle someone who only understands getting his own way. You don't have to be the potty gestapo - but you do need to be firm, helpful and supportive.

Not toilet training your child is called neglect and can land you in some serious trouble.

However, as he is only two you still have plenty of time. If the child is not ready to use the potty like a "big boy" then don't pressure him. Eventually he will come around to the idea.

you need to toilet train kids, so that later in life they can decide themselves, but at 2 years old they dont know really what they want, in years to come he may turn back to diapers but i am sure none on this site will say thats a bad thing, but sure everyone will agree he needs potty training.

Wibble, onions pah pah goatbreeder!!!!

IMHO, 2 years is a little early to expect him to be trained. Also, why the heck would you inform your 2yo son that you are a DL?!? By all means, full disclosure with your wife. But your son need not know.

[sarah_ab]

ummm would you let your two year old have a beer or a cigarette because you know how good it is? clearly you drink.... and enjoy it.... but would you let him?

just because you wear diapers and enjoy it, doesn't mean he should be allowed to stay in them..

when he's 6 and wants to look at porn, are you not going to be stern because you enjoy looking at porn? i sure hope not...

I agree that he needs to be potty-trained, but 2 is too early to panic by a long-shot. If he isn't ready, back off, let him stay in diapers, and potty-train him when he is..and don't worry, he will be soon enough.

FWIW here's my $.02 First I don't see anywhere that you said your child knows that you wear, though some here seem to think you said that Let's not jump to conclusions Some children are ready to be potty trained at two and some aren't. No matter your personal feelings on the subject of how you feel in them, it's a very important step in a child's development so forget what you feel and do what's best for the child which is potty training as soon as they are ready for it. Being a very late developer of bladder control I can attest to the he!! children go through when they aren't potty trained and of course your own wearing should be kept away from the child for a long time to come- maybe always Not so much from a standpoint of confusing the child, but because they don't really need to know, and they have more important things to be focused on Maybe when they reach adulthood you could open the subject, but before then would be patently unfair to their own development and social life If you love someone, you'll do what's best for them without thinking of yourself

Good to hear of your wife and friends being OK with your wearing It's always good to lose a worry, and most of us do worry about people who we don't want to know finding out It's a big part of our lives to wear, but don't let it become more important than everything else and you should do just fine- balance in life is the way to go!

Though by 3-4 he certainly needs to be potty trained. Certainly read up on some potty-training books/sites. You certainly should take some more drastic measures by 4-5 though. You certainly need to by 5 as you want your child in preschool and they have to be potty trained as the school doesn't allow them not to be.

google 'free potty training dvd' both pampers and huggies will send free toilet training dvds to parents.. i've orderd both for friends who are starting to toilet train... they state they are really helpful, and give some good tips on how to know if your little one is ready to start or not

The easiest way to train any kid old enough to learn (and no, 2 is not too early) is to put normal underpants on them. They'll decide very, very quickly that they don't like the way it feels to be wet/dirty in those, and respond accordingly.

Now see, I think that is cruel and traumatizes the children.

How many of us ABDLs have traced our desire to return to diapers back to traumatic childhood events surrounding potty training? I know tons of people who say that is when the desire started.

That's how I was trained and I turned out.... oh wait.

Me three... And wet the bed every night till i was 12 .. Those bed alarms were torture.

I would never consider not toilet training a child. If someone did that they would likely face criminal charges and at the least would totally ruin their entire child hood. Now that i am an adult i dont care so much what others think ... But children and teens are cruel and merciless. The torment a 7-15 year old would face in school would make the columbine kids feel good about their life.

[LuvsGurl]

Hold on here is there actually a law on the books that states that a child must be toilet trained and failure to do so could warrant the parents to be charged with neglect?

I would imagine it is covered under the general statute. You know food, shelter, safety, basic hygiene.

I have a feeling some of you may have misunderstood what i was saying! my boy is doing very well at potty training and i agree he needs to be. occaisionaly he doesnt want to use the toilet. he would rather use his diaper. he is only two so i dont push things,he will learn. and no he does not know daddy wears diapers,and will not know unless for some reoson it comes up when he is an adult
