She apparently said this to the childminder the other day. I can't think of any reason DH or I would have given her for this and feel a bit upset about it.
I have known for ages she has major poo issues; after successfully starting to use the loo at 2.11 for wees (of her own accord), she started withholding poo til she was constipated and we had to put her on movicol. To cut a long story short she will now poo in nappy pants (which is better than not pooing) and we've recently moved to Dry Like Me pads and gentle encouragement to sit on the potty or loo again. I know that it is normal, I read the threads on here, and I am not worried (yet).
But WHY does she think poo is disgusting? I feel quite upset as I never wanted her to feel the way I did when I was growing up and couldn't even mention the word poo or wee (to the point where I was hospitalised once with very bad cystitis where I couldn't tell my mum I was haven't problems.) I have always been open about pooing and we poo and wee in front of her and don't make an issue when we change her. We do talk about pooing quite a lot because we're trying to normalise it. We make jokes about windy pops (her word not mine!) and talk about other people who poo!
DH and I are not fastidious about household cleanliness (in fact not as much as we should be!) - maybe I wash my hands a bit too much (OCD) but that's about it. And I guess DH has drink spillage issues.
But otherwise I just don't get it. Has anyone else had this? I had assumed she'd picked it up from a kid at the childminder, but her childminder reckons it is coming from her.
