“Rachel is a fan of ‘child-led rearing’. There’s a lot to it, but for you, it means that we won’t force you to be potty trained before you’re ready.” Jack removes Jessie’s diaper and begins to wipe her down. “In fact, you won’t even start potty training until you’re five at the earliest, Jessie.”
“But-” Jessie tries.
“I know, I can’t control your actions or desire to be out of diapers. But I can control how long I keep you in them, and whether I let you use the bathroom when you ask,” Jack says, taping a new diaper on her. He pats her on the head. “Get used to messing and wetting yourself and getting changed. You’re two right now, so you have at least three more years of diapers before I’ll even consider moving you on to training pants.” Jack brings Jessie back to the main area and hands her over to Mom, who dumps her in a blocked off play area for young children.
Jessie can’t stay like this. She can’t be stuck in diapers until kindergarten. She has to remove the suit. Jessie gets to her feet and toddles over to a secluded corner of the play area and removes her dress and diaper, ready to turn back into an adult. Sure, she’d be a naked adult, but it’d be better than going to school with a diaper bag.
