Has anyone ever heard of this?? Throwing your kid a party when they finish their potty training? Honestly I had never heard it until my aunt brought it up a couple weeks ago. No one I know of yet has heard of it. I think this is a rediculous idea. I have asked some people about it (Tah and Neo) and have to agree with them that it's setting the kid up for disappointment. My mother and I have been talking alot on those lines, and she has been talking about it at work to her friends there...still no one has heard of it.
So here I am, sitting at work, bored as always, and I decided to google "potty party". Apparently it is supposed to be a way to train your kid in 1 day, not as a reward for doing something they have to do to be functioning adults.
I also told my sister-in-laws about it, and one of them piped up with "So what is he gonna do when he hits puberty? 'Mom, I had my first wet dream, I want a party' or 'first pube party' " and on and on. Needless to say, it was hilarious.
So it has turned into a wonderful joke around my house.
Part of me still wants to say that I don't want True involved, but part of me thinks that at his age and with his mental state that he wont understand if I don't let him be involved and that he'll backslide, which I don't want to have him go through.
*note-re: True's mental state--we (Dr.s and I) think that he has adhd and some mild learning disabilities, but that with time and care he may grow out of it.
