I watch two kids all day long. A three year old and a 21 mth. old. The three year old I've had potty-trained since October. However, only while I'm there in the daytime. His parents don't follow up. He hasn't had one accident with me since September but is in a diaper or pullup everyday. They aren't opposed but don't push it either. When he wants a pullup or diaper on, he can. How can I get him to realize that he enjoys his underpants better than the diapers, so he will wear his underpants the rest of the time?

Keep up your good work!! Praise him constantly and every once in a while, ask if he wants his pull up back on -- whenever he says NO, do something fun (game or something he likes) and do this every single day. Before you know it, he will be telling his parents "No, I do not want a diaper, I am a big boy". Worked with my daughter's In-Laws (it was easier for them to use a diaper than take the kids to the potty -- lazy!!) -- Mom, Dad & I were on the same page of training and it worked like a charm.

Well this worked for my stepdaughter, we kinda had the same problem- here at our house she was completely potty trained and at her mom's she would wear diapers all the time, for about another 6 months, but it was hard to understand why here she would go in the toilet and there not, but its really the adults that have to try hard! If the adult is lazy the child will be lazy, we just told my daughter that diapers are for baby's and big girls use the potty, and we told her that big girls get to do all the things that she liked to do (special activities) and babys cant do any of those things, so if you want to wear a diaper and be a baby then you dont get to do big girl things, it worked very quickly for us but unless the parents are will to help out the kid wont do it on his own!

It sounds like you need to talk to the parents and tell them that they need to follow-up on their sons potty training and stop putting him in diapers and pull-ups all the time. If they keep putting him in diapers and pull-ups he will never get fully potty trained. You are doing a wonderful job and you have done everything that you can do, so now it has to be up to the parents to finish what you have started. All that you can do is just keep doing what you are doing and hopefully the parents will see the light and help their son get fully potty trained.

Make his parents aware that he can go to the potty. What we did with my son was threw away the pullups because he used to ask for them everyday, so the temptation was not there. He is 2 years old and he is potty trained, and he only wears underwear.

The parents really need to follow through with it. If hes doing so well with you in the daytime, maybe its time for him to have big boy underware and not just pull-ups. Theres only so much you can do when the child isnt yours.
