It’s been a while and I have no clue if all my old peeps are even here anymore, but hi everyone! I need help with my four-year-old.
She went an entire year being potty trained and having absolutely no accidents, and now she refuses to go to the toilet at all. She wets herself multiple times a day, everyday. It’s been going on for like a month now and I have no idea what to do. Everything in my house smells like urine, including her. It’s purposeful and I cannot get her to stop.
We have tried time-outs, we have tried reward charts for having no accidents, potty watches, taking things away, just ignoring it, we even went back to pull-ups for a short time. Nothing phases her. She doesn’t care. It’s pure laziness, she just doesn’t “feel” like going to the toilet.
No UTI. No constipation, she’s totally fine. She just won’t do it. I have to force her to go to the bathroom and stand there and watch her because if I don’t, she’ll lie about it and wet herself and then pretend like she went to the bathroom.
It poses a real issue because I’m gonna have to go back to work VERY soon. And at this point, no daycare or preschool will even take her if she won’t go to the bathroom. She’s also set to start kindergarten next year but if for whatever reason this doesn’t get under control, they won’t let her in, either.
Contact her pediatrician and ask for a referral to child psychology, developmental therapy, and use those resources to walk you through this. Something bigger than a "normal" problem is going on. I hope you will get the help you and your little girl need through these avenues. Hugs and well wishes!!!!
Thoughts on waiting another year to start daughter in preschool.
Our district doesn’t have a spot at the moment. So we have to find a preschool ourselves. We applied to Headstart but we make too much money so lower income families get first spots. But both districts have her at the top of their waiting list above others because she needs/receives speech therapy therefore they want the grant money that comes along with her being enrolled. It’s just so frustrating. I feel that worth Covid we kn...
Potty training help!!!
Lola is 3, 4 in January and we are still no where near dry. I just don’t know what to do anymore. We’ve done the reward charts and all that other stuff but it’s just not working.
She wears knickers all day and is constantly wet. She won’t even notice it’s happened and then just suddenly announces “I need to go change my knickers”
She is quite happy to go for a poo and has never pooed herself.
The other day when we went out I bought 5 changes of clothes and she went thr...
So idk if I’m an asshole for thinking this but a girl I used to go to school with is having her 3rd kid and she’s planning a baby shower and she had one with her other two. I feel like a baby shower is something you do with ur first pregnancy. I live far from my family so I didn’t have one but i did have a baby registry and I’m not even doing that with this pregnancy. Idk I just feel like 3 baby showers is a lot! Especially when she gets things handed to her. Idk maybe I’m an ass for thinking that

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
Has something changed in her life? Even something that seems very small and insignificant. The first thing I thought when reading this post is to try and get a referral to a counselor
