I am tearing my hair out with my DD1 who has just turned 5 and is in reception. She was late to potty train (just after 3rd BD and dry at night almost immediately after dry during the day). She has only ever wet the bed twice and both times when ill. She has always been a bit unreliable and often needs prompting to go for a wee(poos OK). She was fine at pre-school and also hasn't had an accident at school although trousers sometimes a bit smelly(!) Just lately she has been leaving it until desperate and then still doesn't go - takes me or someone else to notice her jiggling about or worse a wet patch on her clothes. Never a full wee (thank goodness). On her 5th birthday she wet herself whilst playing with her cousins on a family day out. Today she almost did it at a party with all her schoolfriends - luckily I saw her wriggling and dragged her to the loo - she had a wet patch on her torusers. The worst thing is that she doesn't care, isn't embarassed and there is nothing that I can say that will make her bothered. She admits that she is being lazy!! We have a triple swing and slide for the garden in the garage ready to be put together but her dad is refusing to do it while she is having accidents! Any help most gratefully received, thanks! Sorry post is so long - I'm a newbie so forgive me!!
