i supppose i just hear a lot of things about it being too inconvenient a time to actually bite the bullet and toilet train, because it takes work and accidents and cleaning up, and i understand it does have to be done at a suitable time that you can dedicate to it, but it can be easy to put off.... and maybe they miss the boat...

i also get told that boys are a lot slower than girls at lots of things, including toilet training - is there any fact to this? i'm having a boy next and just curious.... my mum assures me that its rubbish, that my brothers were toilet trained and talking etc around 2.... just wondered if people think that boys are slower, then they maybe don't expect as much from them? just thinking out loud.
