Poo rules our lives and I HATE it and nothing works. I give up... My son starts school in September and unfortunately he will probably still be pooing his pants.
It dominates our lives, it's all we argue about and I can't bare it anymore. The smell, the stench as the clean up operations stick to my skin and the negativity I feel towards my child as he does it to us again and again.
Everyone has an opinion and assumes if they were in our position they would sort it in a matter of weeks..... If ONLY! its always me who has to scrape the poo off his bottom. My dh might manage it at the weekends but he certainly makes sure we all know about it.
We have tried:
Regular sitting
Movicol
Rewards
Sticker charts
Punishment (taking toys and treats away)
Getting him to help wash soiled pants
Nothing is working he is still soiling regularly- sometimes up to 4 times a day. I hate motherhood and feel like a complete failure. It is stopping us going out and it's not fair on my other child. Will this problem ever go away?
