To think she should?
I’ve spoken to her school about the fact that she needs help when wiping her bum. I’ve taught her how to do it and also told her how important it is that she’s made sure it’s clean when she’s finished.
The thing is that she seems embarrassed and doesn’t want to ask for help to wipe off her teachers which I can understand but when asked why she doesn’t do it herself she says that she doesn’t want to get poo or wee on her hands.
I’m at a loss with her, I got her changed out of her uniform and she told me that her bits were sore so I got her to wipe the excess off and then put her in the bath. When I got her out of the bath she still had bits of poo in her bits so I suggested that I try and get the tricky bits out. She point blank refused to let me clean her down there as she was still sore and wanted to do it herself. The thing is that she doesn’t have the dexterity to get the poop that’s in her little crevices (for want of a better word) which in all fairness wouldn’t have been there if she had wiped her backside properly at school. Part of me thinks it’s laziness and part of me thinks it’s bevause she genuinely doesn’t like to get poo on her hands etc. She was very sore tonight and didn’t want me to clean her because of this. Eventually managed to gently clean it all off.
AIBU and expecting too much or should she be doing this by now?
