Nearly 6 reverted back to wetting herself

[raindropsonkittens]

I am getting really stressed out by this.

Dry for a few years. Now back to wetting herself almost daily.

No other problems. The reasons she gives are 'can't be bothered to use the toilet' and that going to the toilet is 'boring'

I am constantly reminding her to use the bathroom and she lies about having just been and will sit there holding herself saying she doesn't need to go.

I'm sick of getting halfway home and my dd being unable to walk because she's about to piss herself when before we left I put her on the toilet and she didn't go.

Any advice before I loose my temper please?

I've had to be fairly tough with my DD around this age. She had to go before we left anywhere. I'd say I wanted to go and she had to come too, suggest she had a wee too but if she refused I'd tell her she had to at least sit on the toilet for 2 minutes. In the end she'd wee because hanging around the toilet was more boring than wearing and leaving.

Have her do her laundry and clean the floor when she pees herself and have a shower etc. She'll realise it is a lot less work to just go to the loo when she needs to than have to clean up.

Or if you feel sufficiently pissed off (lol) put her in a nappy, don't try to hide it with clothes, and send her to a group play date and let her get teased mercilessly.

Wow @TigerQuoll surely those ideas are psychological abuse

The second one was a joke, but I don't see how helping to clean up is abuse? The DD says herself it is because she can't be bothered, not because she's got a medical condition that needs treating.
