I'm having a hard time not rolling my eyes at this, but hey, if it is in fact true, then that's great and in all seriousness good for them.
Meanwhile over here I have a five year old who is still in pull ups at night because she refuses to get out of bed to go to the bathroom and/or she's an extremely deep sleeper and simply doesn't wake up. Those things are expensive, but so is washing multiple sets of sheets every day. :\
My uncle was a really deep sleeper, and didn't make it out of bed regularly until like 8, and often until like 12. In the days before Pull-Ups.
My poor grandma. :(

Those are one thing I don't understand the mark-up on :(

My friend's co-worker's niece's cousin potty trained her baby at 4 weeks. True story, as far as I know.
Now I'm thinking about that scene in OitNB where they're trying to train the baby to go on command like some Tiger Asian moms... and the look on the baby's face. :ROFL:

Your near eyeroll is an appropriate response. I have almost heard 3rd hand stories as silly as potty trained at 4 weeks.

Yeah, those accidents must suck. I don't have kids, but I have at least one nephew and one niece who went through that at age 5.

I have friends who did "elimination communication' (EC) and all their kids were able to use a potty by the age of about 1. They'd use a plastic potty on the floor. However, prior to that, it was really EC - between baby and parent.

I've never heard about 4 weeks - because you have to be a bit mobile (to get to the potty :wink:. And sort of sit up.......

I left off "and then everyone clapped and cheered" from that post so people could see I was joking in a r/thathappened way.

Kids are so expensive :arghh:
It doesn't help that I'm a diaper snob, and only like one brand. Also, she's potty training, but she thinks that means using the diaper, then taking it off herself and running through the house with it while I freak out behind her like :bike::nonono:

yeahhh I read about that and instantly said nope. I cloth diapered for almost 2 years (and only switched to disposable because I had to start using a laundromat), that's enough effort.
