26F-My friend is potty training her 14 month old daughter and it’s been going how you’d expect it go. She has accidents all the time and my 26F-friend goes around not even putting pull-ups on the kid.

I have a 6 yo son and a 2 yo daughter who love playing with my friend’s daughter but even they don’t want to play anymore because of how often she’s done a number 1 and 2 on our floors, carpets, couches, bedding, you name it. I didn’t know that she was being potty trained at first. I just assumed they were “diaper explosions” and so I would reassure my friend that it was fine and that I wasn’t upset. I even recommended different diaper brands, better techniques on putting the diapers on, changing her more often and even seeing a doctor if there was something going on.

A few days ago my friend posted on Instagram about how she had been potty training her daughter since her first birthday. When she came by yesterday I brought up the fact that it might be a little early for her daughter to potty train. My friend brushed this off and said that her daughter was doing great and that she’s saved so much money not having to buy diapers anymore and that she didn’t “believe in Pull-Ups”? To say this surprised me would be a major understatement. She’d just been going around knowingly letting her daughter shit all over everything.

I asked her to at least use pull ups or something-ANYTHING when coming to our house, and she refused. So I told her not to come for the meantime. She got offended and said “you’d let an animal into your home before my child?” (I have a 7 week old rescue kitten [who doesn’t shit on my floors]). I said yes. She left. And now I’m getting messages from her friends and family about how I’m an awful mom since I place animals higher than children.
