I cant cope with cleaning shit off my walls anymore

[Sluttybuttons]

I have twins, they are 2. For the past 6 months at least once a day 1 of them will take their nappy off and they will have a great time spreading shit everywhere. Today its been 3 times and they have started spreading it all over their hair. I cant deal with it anymore. Nothing i do is stopping it. I dont know what to do

When taping make sure you go all the way round so tape goes over tape.

Sellotape would probably work just as well.

Nah, IME, with a determined poo smearer (Autistic, went on till 7yo, long AFTER potty training!!), Sellotape can be picked off by even an 18mo with muscle problems, duct tape works best because it sticks to itself IYSWIM.

I have great sympathy for you, it's shit (excuse the pun!) to have to clear up poo every blooming day.

The ONLY things I found that worked were duct tape on the nappy, and sitting outside the room do I could divert his attention with a story or a cuddle every single time I heard the vest poppers go.

It sounds like a nightmare. Do you rise to it and are they cheeky? If my DS ever found out I'd go mental at drawing or shit smearing on walls I swear he'd do it all the time.

Distraction, timeout ad infinitum, zero response (hmmm... good luck), withdrawal of toys - maybe some of those would work?

The dog method of rubbing their faces in it did flit across my mind at one point!! Ignore that...

How are you feeling today Slutty? Bit brighter I hope?

I don't have anything useful to suggest, but hope you're feeling better today.

Are they getting any kind of punishment when they do this? I would be really cross if dd had done it and she would have been told off and put in time out.

I had an issue with her taking her nappy off at night and then waking up wet and someone suggested putting a swimming cossie on her so she couldn't get it off!!! Never tried it as was able to find some vests that she couldn't get off eaisly but mite be worth a try in the day?

Sounds grim you have my sympathy

Well for the first time in months i woke up and they still had nappies on. DTD was still dressed which im a bit in shock about. Im hoping that if they cant get their nappies off they will soon get bored and will stop even trying.

My DN did this because they hated sitting in a poo-filled nappy.
Can you get to them as soon as they've pooed?

It sounds like they need potty training. It can easily be done at two - even under two. All of mine were clean and dry by day before or around their second birthday. It will be tougher with twins obviously, but it doesn't mean it can't be done. I think they are telling you they are ready - or at least one of them is and the other one is just copying.

OK, just read your previous post re: potty training. Fair enough.

Are they doing this because it has become a game, to see your reaction every morning? An attention seeking thing? How do you react to it, and how do they react to you? Have you tried completely ignoring them, making no eye contact, not saying hello etc, when you walk into the room and realise they have done this? What time are you going into their room in the morning - are they able to come and get you as soon as they are awake?
