    Unless there’s extenuating circumstances, you’ve failed if your 3 year old can’t reliably communicate the need to go to the bathroom. I’m not saying they get things perfect, but the vast majority of 3 year olds can tell you when they need to go to the bathroom.

    Even at age 2 it’s quite common.

      I like how you completely failed to address the actually developmental milestones of 3 year olds. I know you don’t know shit about 3 year olds because you’re confidently incorrect about how very often a 3 year old will fail to give you warning about needing to go to the bathroom. I guess you think changes of clothing that are required for school until kindergarten are just in case they get dirty.

      Either way, the analogy is weak because because a 3yo killing someone with a toilet has a reliably low probability. Even on accident.

      But children are prone to accidents all the time. And all it takes is one accident or lapse of judgement for a child to gun down their sibling/friend- even if they’re educated on firearm safety. The fact that this regularly appears on the news should be a wakeup call. It never is.
