I have a 4 year old DS who is a late toilet trainer,
I ripped off the nappies so to speak feb last year, now a year later we having weeing (still some accidents largely down to laziness) and still no pooing on the toilet.
He is under cdc, suspected SN social communication but no diagnosis.
he is under no computer game until he poo's for over a month (not a blind bit of difference its made)
telling off , cartoons turned off etc, I have made him help me mop up the past. But to no avail, he has pull ups at night, long journeys etc but anywhere else pants, we went cold turkey in feb but it was horrific and sent behaviour worse and prevented me from even going to the dr's.
Sometimes with 2 children and less than an hours sleep I have no choice but to give DS a game so I can catch up, living up several flights of stairs with no elevator access , walking down all those stairs with toddler child pram bags, when I can't walk in a straight line is simply too dangerous and is liely to be literally fatal so I have to, but get grief from my DM for doing and said "you have no more problems than any other mother" I asked told her to leave for such an unforgivably ignorant comment after a trail of grief, when she had my and my sister and had terrible levels of sleep we were stuck infront of disney while she napped, I see little difference, a child drooling infront of the tv or having a little go on an game whilst mummy has a lay down? either way its neccesary.
So now I've done the taking away of his favourite toy and no difference, my relatives bang on about it all the time, to the point I dread seeing them, HV tell me he will do it in his own time, relatives judge me, I am now helpless, powerless and nowhere left to go now and now more likely have to become a recluse, I just don't want to wake up tommorrow knowing most likely this will not change soon.
I just don't know what to do.
