Too Young to Potty Train?

At what point is a child too young to potty train? This is a common question, especially for first time moms. Now, I have my own views on it, which I'm finding people look down upon. As a family effort we started potty training my step daughter back in February. Now there is a reason for it even though she was only 16 months old. People say this is too young and she won't understand. Now, this child doesn't like wet/dirty diapers. She takes them off if she goes in them or she knows she is going to wet them. I don't believe that if they are taking their diaper off for this reason that you should tape a diaper on or put them in certain clothes to prevent taking it off. Show them the potty and start sitting them on it. No, they aren't going to get the WHOLE concept, BUT it's going to start the association. Potty training is going slow. I didn't expect it to happen over night. But we are starting to use the potty more often and it's exciting! Follow the child's lead. Everyone has or develops their own method. If it works, stick to it. If it doesn't, consult with other parents and see what they have done. Every child is different. Not every child uses the potty at 18 months. Some take much longer. My nephew was almost 4 before he was completely potty trained. Just remember not to make it stressful on you or your child.

Pathetic Loser

Men who create children that they cannot care for. This is disgusting. When you already have three, one lives in another state and you aren't even allowed contact with your other two unsupervised because of a sexual offense where you did something to one of them, why did you create another life to bring into this world? And trying to convince the mother to "let you send money" in lieu of paying child support? You don't support the ones that you have, why would you support this new child? You're so far behind in child support that you will probably never have your driver's license back. You're pathetic. You're 30 years old, you have never had a tax paying job, you went for a 20 year old fresh out of a relationship who was hurting. You left her, stole her shit, and had no plans of coming back or ever contacting her again. But, guess what! She's pregnant and now you're going to pay for this child or face the legal repercussions.

Exotic Dancers

So, here is another rant, about Exotic Dancers. Now, I have nothing against these girls that dance. I think that these women, to do what they do, they are VERY talented to be able to pull off some of these dance moves on a pole. A true good Exotic Dancer knows how to use her body and her dancing to seduce and entice. What is pathetic are the dancers with very poor morals who ruin this job for the good girls. There are dancers who are honestly out there who are trying to pay for college or support a family. They don't make good money for their honest talent because there are completely trashy girls who will do anything for a buck. Girls that will walk out of the bar and make $400+ in one night while everyone else is walking out with $20 or less! Why do these trashy girls walk out with so much money? Because these are the ones that will do almost ANYTHING they can get away with in the private dance areas. These are the girls who make themselves into prostitutes and offer these men special favors. They take away from the honest girls. This is gross. These are the types of dancers that will get pregnant by one of the customers, not know which one and then proceed to go abort the baby so they can continue what they do. They put themselves at risk of so many things and put the customers and the bar at risk too. They ruin what a true Exotic Dancer is for the good girls who do their job properly.
