>>I also remember that they made me wear diapers, which was humiliating.
That is one thing that my mother did for me.
My birthday is in March, and I had announced a week before Christmas (when I was 21 months old) that I wanted to use the potty. With 3 kids under 5, my mother was less than thrilled at this prospect just before Christmas. My Grandmother was visiting, and she helped me do the toilet training.
I had Meningitis in January or February of that year. The nurses didn't believe that I was toilet trained (except at night). My mother knew how upset I would be if I had to go back into diapers and she finally convinced them to let me use a little potty. Which they did, and I guess I used it well.
I did thank my mother for fighting for that for me.
I'm sorry that your hospital wasn't flexible for you.
