Describe what difficulties you encountered the most often during your toilet training (based on answers supplied above):

Name	Age	Answer
		Not making it to the bathroom on time and bedwetting all the time.
		aiming into the toilet
bedwetter		alot of times i would wait until i had to pee or poop real bad and then i would not make it to the bathroom on time and end up going in my pants and usually get spanked for going in my pants i also did not like getting out of bed and would try and hold it and go back to sleep and when i woke up in the morning i had wet the bed and would get spanked for that to i remember when i was 5 and 6 yrs old i had to take a nap in the afternoon but before i would lay down for my nap i would beg and cry to be put in a diaper and then i would lay down and go to sleep with no problem and when i got up from my nap you guessed it my diaper was usually soaked
		First of all, I've always wet the bed and never really achieved nighttime dryness. I also had real problems if I couldn't get to a bathroom quickly like if I was out in public places or in a vehicle. For some reason, I couldn't determine when I had to go and by the time I realized it, it was usually too late and I ended up having a lot of accidents in my pants.
Dave	13	Holding my pee and poo
Cody aka Smelly butt		I liked wearing my diapers. I liked being the only boy in the house and having the smelliest bottom and being able to wee wee in my bed. Sometimes in the daytime I would just poo a little bit while I was playing games or sitting at school in class or whenever I felt like doing some. Everytime my Mom tried to put me in underpants, I kept pooing them in the daytime and wetting myself in bed at night. So eventually Mom just started leaving me in diapers not potty training me.
James	18	I couldn't make it to the bathroom in time so I pooped my pants a lot and always left skid marks.
		When they took my diapers off and put on training pants, i play too hard to remember to get up and go and i would mess all over myself.
wetcloth	12	i didnt like sitting on the pottyso i used my diapers
Andy	14	I like never wanted to to the toilet cause it was easier just to pee in my diaper. My older brother woouldn't help much either cause he told me just to keep peein or pooing in my diaper. I would get in troble with my mom cause my little brother and sister were in diapers 2.
		remembering to go poty
Gobble	13	None
baby boy	14	i always had trouble peeiong and pooping my pants
	12	My entire family was basicly up against me. I'm still in diapers. Not beacuse i like them i just wasent trained.
Adam	11	I couldn't hold my pee and poo and I just do it in my diaper caus it was easy.
		Had a few accidents, trying to hold it too long. Then just let go, pee or poop or both..Didn't want to take training pants off and then pants and belt, etc.
Marc & Sassja	16	My brothers & I, were simply not toilet trained & kept in diapers.
poopie boy	22	that i didnt want to. i wanted to stay in diapers.
Cody	13	In the daytime while i play out i used to poo my pants a liitlle bit sometinme s and the girls or my sistr would smell my bum and put an anappy on me. and I kept on weting the bed at nightt so my mnom put me in anight nappy but I had to stay in them till i was 7.after that i didndt havet o where them all the time enymore but somtimes i need a nappy at bedtime or at shcool wehn its cold becuse incace i dont go to the toilet becuse I dont go when im cold i just poo myyself or ewet myself.
	62	I was still having accidents at 5. I still wet the bed
		i would poop in my pants or pee
Toadboy	7	I could never hold it for very long, so I always had to be within a few seconds of getting to the toilet, so if the bathroom was being used I couldn't wait and I would pee down my leg and onto the floor.
Deeker	35	I mostly had poop accidents. On more occasions that I can recall I went around the house in poop-filled diapers, training pants or, once I had gotten older, in several pairs of underwear worn together to function as a diaper.

How did you feel about your brothers helping you with toilet training (or if they encouraged you to stay in diapers instead)?

How did you feel about your sisters helping you with toilet training (or if they encouraged you to stay in diapers instead)?

Name	Age	Answer
		I had a younger and older sister. The older one only wanted to receive the money mom gave her to change my diapers.
Cody aka Smelly butt		While I was actually being potty trained I used to be really embarassed to have my little sisters seeing me and I used to cry when they came in the room if an accident had just happened. As time went on I got used to it.
		my older sister was nicer and would lay me down on floor and clean me up and put powder etc on me before redressing... but she would change anywhere in front of anyone.
Andy	14	My older sister did help me sometimes. She would take me to the potty and undress me so I could sit on it and do potty.
Gobble	13	No sisters
	12	They all were only telling me to stay in diapers so they could blackmail me later in life {I think}.
Adam	11	My big sister would take me to the potty and make make me sit there until I do my poo and pee. She change me and cleaned me up when I make poo and pee in my diaper.
Marc & Sassja	16	My sisters, supported keeping me & my brothers in diapers.
poopie boy	22	she didnt really even try to help.
Cody	13	Iw as cryed all the time at fisrt becuse they was littler than me but now i dont mind becuse i like bieng the baby boy.
		didnt say anything
Toadboy	7	My sister was too little to help me out back then.
Deeker	35	My sisters didn't have anything to do with my toilet training. If they had it their way, they would have likely preferred that I stay in diapers and not stink up the bathroom, plus getting to see me in diapers as they thought it looked cute.

How did you feel about having younger siblings who were out of diapers before you were (if applicable)?

Name	Age	Answer
		She loved to taunt me. She was two years younger and when she was 14 she was also given the job of checking and changing my diapers. I was very upset but mom said i had to do what she said. family because I still wore Huggies long after my little sister was toilet trained (she's two years younger than me). Not only that, it's embarassing when your little sister is in charge of checking your diaper in public places to see if it needs changed or not.
Cody aka Smelly butt		I'm glad they are out of diapers. Some boys would be shy but Im not cause my little sisters potty trained easy (as it is for girls). They might be younger than me but they still have to change my smelly pampers so I'm still the baby.
wetcloth	12	it was ok with me i didnt like useing the potty
Andy	14	My little brother and sister were out of diapers befour me. Sometimes when I pee or poo on myself they would make fun of me Mom would get mad and make me go to the pottyand they would come in and tease me.
diaperboy	12	i felt great.
Gobble	13	None
	12	I realy did not care much but all of them made good fun of me.
Adam	11	I was teesed my them caus I still making poo and pee in my diaper.
Cody	13	becuse i am a boy and they are girls so the dont wet the bed and ent got smelly bottom becuse boys poo there pants by acident
	62	I felt like I was the baby of the family even though I was the oldest
		no youger siblings
Toadboy	7	I just thought that this was how things worked. I thought that maybe all boys had to wear diapers for longer and little sisters got potty trained sooner. My sister said "brothers wear diapers and girls go to the potty."

How did you feel about helping siblings with their toilet training? Did this conflict with your own feelings about diapers and toilet training at the time?

Name	Age	Answer
		I tried to help but was not convincing standing there in a wet diapers and rubber pants.
Cody aka Smelly butt		I never helped my sisters with potty training. They were both out of diapers by 3 (including night diaper) where as I wore full-time diapers till I was 7 and now just wear one for bed or one when I feel like it. When they were potty training I was still in full-time diapers.
James	18	I wanted to be back in diapers so I didn't like having to help my brother get out of them.
Andy	14	My little sister would help me and I would try to help her too. I liked to keep wearing diapers and she didn't.
Gobble	13	I would gladly help them
	12	I dient help them out of spite. If my sister were gonna torture me i was gonna torture one of them and the youngest were the easiest.
Adam	11	My little brother and sister when they was wearing there diapers I tell them to just make poo and pee in there diapers like me.
Cody	13	i like wering nappis stil. but i cant awlays where them but my litle beothers do.
		didnt help any siblings
Toadboy	7	No, I thought it was kind of fun helping her. I'd teach her how to wipe her butt.
