IN SERIOUS NEED OF MOMMY ADVICE. PLEASE HELP ME.
so my 2 1/2 year old son continues to poop in the bath tub. and he freaks out every time he does it. his mother (I'm his step mom) never even attempted to potty train and now that we have him full time he refuses to potty train. he is smart and can talk really well. ask for food drinks, playtime, ride four wheelers he knows right from wrong and apologizes for being bad and all. but this is gonna drive me nuts. you can ask him if he has to potty and he will tell you no and go around the corner and shit. or you can ask him if he needs a diaper changed or if he pooped in his diaper and He will tell you no although he knows he did. but every time we try to sit him on a potty or make him go potty he freaks out crying and screaming and now every single time he takes a bath which is every day, even if he has pooped already he poops in the tub an absolutely loses it. what do I do? I am lost and have no clue what step to take from here because in my opinion after the 3rd time he should have gotten his butt spanked because he knows he is wrong... but with him already hysterical it makes it kinda hard to punish him... I need some advice please.

my son is two and half also and we are still working on pooping in the potty he will per in the potty tho we make it fun like a game to go potty so he tries to go but don't have full control of his poop yet. it sounds stupid but he do a pee pee dance and clip and jump and make a big deal every time he uses the potty. at first we used suckers to talk him into actually going to the potty.

girl spank him! he knows better he's playing you. or sit him on that pot til he goes. every time he gets up put him back on it. then when he does go give him a sticker or a snack. make a big deal out of how proof you are of him for going on the pot like a big boy. like seriously go crazy. clap, you did it!!!!! get so excited that he gets excited too. every single time. so he knows you aren't playing with that ass and you're still happy with him. positive reinforcement. don't ask him if he needs to go. then he has an option. tell him "let's got pot pot" or however you say it lol

@ashgreen13617, he still won't even pee in the potty. his mom lost custody of him less than a week ago and we've had him full time since. we used to get him every week for a couple days but not enough to make it count.. so now I'm trying everything because I have an 8 month old and one due in july. all boys lol. and I bribed him for bath time with gummies because that was also something he was terrified of and now he isn't which is a good step

lol my cousin was the same way. not pooping in the tub but refusing to go, so my aunt and I did the sticker thing and got her on a schedule. she went as soon as she woke up and like an hour after ever time she ate. she loved the sticker chart and getting hype worked for her

No but don't spank him. Honestly when it comes to potty training it will happen when he is ready. It took my son a longgggg time (until about 3 months ago) til he understood and got it down packed but one day he just learned and would tell me every time he needed to go. So I know it's hard not to get upset but just be patient with him. He will learn when he is ready. Boys are stubborn lol

@kiaalford77, please don't spank him , it obviously something he will have to get use to. Some kids are ready sooner than others and he is transitioning, give it time. a reward system can work when he is ready. You can start telling him that when he has to pee to let you know and he will get a sticker or time at the park.

@vivalakats, @surprise4 I haven't spanked him. I hate spankings and punishment. honestly I'm the world's worst at punishment. every time I have to actually get on to him or out him in time out for something I leave the room and cry. it's aweful. which hopefully that's just because I'm pregnant and hormonal. I'm gonna give him some time. now that he is with me full time I'll be able to work with him more and more. I know he will get it eventually. and in the mean time I'll just keep my head up and keep on keeping on lol.
