Okay so I just want to start by saying I’ve asked my DD why she’s doing this, I ask her all the time if she needs potty, and she’s also completely capable of using the big toilet. For the past maybe 2 months? She’s been peeing in her bed, coming into our bed in the middle of the night and sleeping with us all night, sometimes even peeing in our bed.
if it’s not that, she’s now peeing on the floor, and in the sofa. Last week alone I had to wash all of our towels 3 times (We have over 7 towels and there’s only 3 of us)
This week she’s peed on the sofa 3 times.
She knows what she’s doing is wrong, she’s smiling when I’m asking her why she’s doing it, overall she is being a bit of a nightmare child.
there’s nothing that’s suddenly changed in her life, she isn’t going through that changes that I’m aware of and I’ve tried Googling this so many times.
I have no idea how to react or punish this behaviour. Gentle parenting isn’t working, shouting doesn’t work, I just don’t know how to make her understand this behaviour is unacceptable.
I really hope someone has some good advice
lots of love,
one very stressed out mum
