 | I am in the same boat. My dd turned 3 last July and is still not very interested in the potty. She peed in it once or twice, but wanted her diapers back very fast. I tried the underwear method and also went through 10-14 changes a day! She didn't even care that much about the wet/dirty underwear. She also told me that she wanted her diapers; I guess she's not emotionally ready to "grow-up" yet. Nevertheless, I talked to my ped and he said that she is not ready and not to push her. She didn't care about the underwear, but she wants her diaper changed. I guess she's somewhat physically ready, but there's an emotional part to it to. As far as JK goes, have you tried looking at schools that accept kids in diapers? You're right that it is a control issue and the more you push it, the less you do it. I suggest just back off for a while don't make an issue out of it for now. I know it's hard. Some hints, don't listen to any nasty comments from neighbors and relatives, every child develops at his or her own speed. I believe that every child gets potty trained when ready. Some kids it just takes longer. Oh well, I'm sure my dd and your kids will get it some day...we have to be patient and just hang in there. I am sorry I can't give any words of wisdom, but I wanted to let you know that you're not alone. Good luck and let me know if you have made any progress.
