My daughter is 3 years old, still in diapers, on the bottle and sleeping in a crib.

I won't tell you anything else for right now.  So, does that make me a lazy or bad mother?

While I don't know you, I would say no.  Did someone tell you that you were?

It makes you a mom who makes different choices than I do.  Doesn't make you lazy or bad.

No 2 children are alike. She will do these things when she is ready. My son still sucks his thumb, he is 5.

Nope.  And if she's still on the bottle and in diapers, you're not lazy.

I can't WAIT till my DD's on to potty training...THAT'S when I get to be lazy!

There are many diffrent reasons a 3 year old is doing those things. Only you know what is best for your child.

I think it depends on the child...if it is because of parent convenience then yes you are lazy.  If it is because your child has a health/developmental delay then no it does not make you a lazy mother.

If you want people to answer this without other info, you should take her picture off your avatar :-)  I think you must be doing the best you can do and should be proud of whatever accomplishments you have made with her.  You have a happy, smiling daughter....so no, based on THAT, you must not be a bad mother.

 From the picture on your avatar, I would say no.. she looks as if she has a learning disabilty... (please oh please do not take that as an attack, it just looks that way... If im wrong I am sorry!)

And even if not, I still say no... Because my dd will be on her baba nad sleeping in her crib until shes old enough to sleep well in a toddler bed.

is there something wrong with her? the fact that you said I won't tell you anything else makes me think theres more to it.
