We just kept the diaper on, but used the pull up kind. Took her frequently for a month or two and she just got it. Super easy. However, every kid is different. She was a nightmare to get her sleeping consistently in her own bed and staying asleep. She’s 11 now and sleeping is still kind of an issue sometimes.
I’ll trade you one rice cooker cat for a bulldog that poops in front of the door after going for a long walk.
Not a subculture I have even the slightest understanding of, but hey…you do you.
