== Slowest country in potty training ==
What is the most laziest/relaxed country when it comes to potty training? I see that many African countries train their kids very early, but is there a culture, or country that trains their kids very late, for example, past the age of 3? --[[User:Walffodton|Walffodton]] ([[User talk:Walffodton|talk]]) 12:44, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
:In [[India]], according to a [http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-27775327 BBC article], 48% of the people don't have access to "proper sanitation", so training drops by the wayside (as do other things).

::Learning to go outside and squat behind a bush still qualifies as "potty training", whether or not there is an actual "potty". The critical thing to be learned is not to go in your pants. I would suspect that richer nations might wait longer, since it makes a lot less mess if you can afford disposable diapers, baby wipes, etc. [[User:StuRat|StuRat]] ([[User talk:StuRat|talk]]) 17:08, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

::This is silly. I don't care what the user has done elsewhere, but this is a question that can be answered with references. Give it a rest, WP will not crumble if you stop hatting everything you possibly can. If you are right, and this is a troll, then you are feeding it. You know what trolls hate? Answers that supply references, [[WP:AGF]], and don't get upset about bodily functions. Try that next time.

***If it was posted by a banned editor, it is ''allowed'' to be removed, subject to consensus to do so. It is not mandated that it must be removed. I'm not committing one way or the other as to whether this should or shouldn't be removed. But the rationale that says we're required to do something on the say-so of one or two people isn't how Wikipedia works. Yes, things posted by banned users ''may'' be removed. "May" is not a synonym for "must". --[[User:Jayron32|<span style="color:#009">Jayron</span>]][[User talk:Jayron32|<b style="color:#090">''32''</b>]] 23:53, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
::::I agree. Even if it maybe a seemingly joke question or trolling, if we can give valid information and answers to the question, then why not?

:As for references, we have [[toilet training]], [[elimination communication]], [[Baby-led potty training]], [[Infant_Potty_Training]], and [[Open-crotch pants]].

I'd like {{U|Jpgordon}} to comment. The principle is that we don't allow blocked editors to evade blocks. If this is Bowei Huang or some other recognized sock, the question is supposed to be deleted on sight. If SM or Aspro want to ask the same question they are always free to do so.

:In actual answer to the OP's question - it does not depend on the country, as such, but more on the parents themselves. In Japan, I worked as a teacher of English to children, and there was one boy at a fledgling language centre who was really intelligent (and who was there almost all day, so I doubt he was actually going to school), and one day he went to the toilet in the language centre, and then started calling for someone (actually his mummy, who was not there, as she'd left him with us while she went shopping) to wipe his arse. My boss asked me to do it (being the only male teacher in the centre), but I refused, saying "It's not in my contract, mate." The kid was in there for about half an hour, until the boss went in and did it himself. The kid was 7 years old. He should have been taught to do it himself far earlier than that. <span style="text-shadow:#BBBBBB 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em; class=texhtml"><font face="MV Boli" color="blue">[[User:KageTora|KägeTorä - (<sup>影</sup><sub>虎</sub>)]] ([[User talk:KageTora|Chin Wag]])</font></span> 23:26, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
