I'd posted on here (I think this thread) about my DS and his constant weeing recently. He doesnt' have an infection we understand.
So, what he does is keep going to the loo and then won't go. He'll stand there and say "it's coming Mummy" but then it doesnt' so he then disappears off. We went to the park this afternoon and he went when we got there (a dribble) then twice in the bushes and then screamed on the way home when I asked him to wait til we got home (we were only there 30 mins) and we live 3 mins away in the car (we went en route from supermarket on our way home).
By way of background, I have a DD who is 7 months. He's been fine with her - not too much jealousy. He's a sensitive soul and has in the past been clingy to me in phases. He is quite outgoing and a sociable little boy though and although suffers from a bit of separation anxiety the thought is worse than being left and for example he'll be fine once I leave him in nursery where he goes 2 days a week (for last 2 years). He's just started pre-school in the last week (this weeing thing started about 2 weeks ago) a couple of mornings a week in addition to nursery.
I don't know how to handle this situation. I have tried asking him to wait until he really needs to go, but don't want to make weeing an issue. Should I just go with it and ignore it before it becomes a "thing" or try to reward him for "going"? (as oppose to not "going" when he rushes to the loo). I'm in such a dilemma. Poor little man I'm so worried about him as I wonder if the whole starting pre-school etc (he cries when I leave him but he loves it when there) has caused him a bit of anxiety and whether at home it's a bit of a cry for attention.
I got really tearful tonight - he was in the loo for about 10 mins whilst I was feeding DD her tea - that was after the meltdown in the park enroute home in the car. DD had been screaming just before that for her tea so I was already on edge . I lost it and felt bad.
Generally I feel I'm being a shouty mum at the moment and feeling quite down generally. DD is teething - I'm back at work part time and quite tired - WOrk is miserable with the threat of redundancy hanging over us every month so am on edge and feel miserable at work and don't feel I'm doing much of a good job at home either.
I sound like a right whinger and I am normally a "coper" but for whatever reason can't work out how to deal with DS's current issue....any ideas ?
