The complaint is amazing!

I love how they found out!

> On February 18, 2025, an investigative reporter at The Information contacted Rippling about a forthcoming article concerning Deel’s Russia-related sanctions activity, noting he had “been working on a story on Deel for the past few weeks” that “started as an exercise to look into the veracity of that lawsuit I previously reported on.” This reporter was referring to his January 9, 2025, article entitled “Deel Accused of Money Laundering, Sanctions Failures in Lawsuit,” which reported on Damian v. Deel Inc., No. 25-cv-20017 (S.D. Fla. Jan. 3, 2025). 84. > > > The reporter’s email listed eleven assertions regarding supposed issues at Rippling relating to payments into Russia and other sanctioned jurisdictions. Each individual assertion was followed by internal Rippling Slack messages—thirteen messages in total

Dad with 3 kids here.

With my first one, I tried and encouraged and bribed and nothing worked. I drove myself crazy. And then one day he said to me. "Dad, I don't want diapers." And that was it. Done!

What I learned from this... all kids figure it out. Quite frankly, using the toilet is just way more user-friendly than using diapers! At some point, they'll realize it. They just go at their own pace.

So you can drive yourself crazy trying to get them to realize it... or you can just gently suggest, be patient and have confidence that they will figure things out!

Note! Letting kids do things at their own pace (and not yours) is very helpful for many things besides potty training!
