I have spent months scraping poo out of pants, and bribing, encouraging, coaxing etc him to try pooing on the potty or toilet to no avail. Today he asked to leave the table after his dinner, went upstairs into the bathroom, sat on the loo and did a record breaking turd, then called me. This all proves that any attempts at "parenting" ds are pointless and I should just let him work stuff out for himself when he's ready...
