She just doesn't, and it's driving me mad. Well, sometimes I expect she gives it a cursory wipe or two, but quite often she clearly just doesn't bother at all. Almost every day her pants are all skid-marky. I've tried, time and again, to talk to her about it, patiently, gently explain it's important for hygiene, not being smelly, generally more pleasant, etc. Occasionally I've let my frustration show and been obviously pissed off about it but honestly, what can I do?? If she were 3 or 4 and not so dextrous/capable of doing a good job then I wouldn't mind - hell, if she was at least consistently trying harder then I wouldn't mind so much, but although I'm sure occasionally she does, most of the time she honestly doesn't give a shit (pun intended). She even said so this evening - she got undressed for the bath and there was (sorry, TMI alert) an actual clump of poo between her butt cheeks, so I pulled her up on it, and when I said (AGAIN) 'You do need to wipe, what can I say or do so that you actually do it?', she just said 'I don't care.'
So what do I do? Thing is, like any parent of young kids, I've been dealing with poo, wee, vomit etc for years (I also have DS aged just-turned-2 so still very much in the poo-removal zone), so much of the time I don't think about it, just wash the poo out of the pants. But sometimes I think FFS, why do I have to deal with this? She doesn't care, she knows I'll scrub her pants, she can't be arsed (again, another pun intended) wiping because it takes up precious time when she could be playing, reading, etc. I'm fed up. Advice please!!
