Finding poos in random spots of the house

We moved house two months ago, much wanted and waited for. Ds7 is leaving bits of number 2s around the house. We're currently doing a house swap and he's done it here too.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Wtf?

Apart from his dad for almost 3 years so it's most definitely linked to moving house.

It's such a strange thing.

Is he possibly Autistic op? Or does he suffer from anxiety? X

Boombadoom · 16/08/2021 22:07

I don’t understand either of your posts.

Boombadoom · 16/08/2021 22:08

Oh, I get it. You moved house, he started. You’re in a different house currently, he’s doing it again, and it’s not linked to not being with his dad.

At 7, I’d expect you could ask him why?

nimbuscloud · 16/08/2021 22:09

I’d say it’s linked to anxiety
Have you spoken to him about it?

Definitely suffers from anxiety.

I've asked him, he just smiles and says it's not me. There's only him me and his sister it's definitely him

How old is your daughter? Why is it definitely your son? That is disturbing behaviour though.

I've tried talking to him but he hasn't admitted it. In past week I've found some in sitting room, which seems to be favourite location, my bedroom and under his bed, today was underneath his wetsuit on sitting room floor.

NotaCoolMum · 16/08/2021 22:12

I’d contact your GP- they may be able to refer him for support with his anxieties x

She's 11

Look up ‘therapeutic parenting and poo issues’ !

Serenschintte · 16/08/2021 22:13

When you can is take him out alone and have a chat. Say you know it’s him and you need to talk about it together.
The smiling could be nerves.
Be very calm and matter of fact.
I think I’d be speaking to the GP as well.

We've just solved bed wetting & now this!

While it may not be connected to the separation his father parents with control and he, ds, can sometimes be challenging when he comes home from spending a long time with his father

Oohstickyouyourmummatoo · 16/08/2021 22:22

When you say "leaving bits of number 2s around the house" what do you mean and where is he leaving the rest.
Very odd thread, quite vague and it's not coming across what you want from it.
You have no questions or concerns so not sure what replies you're looking for.

You say your daughter couldn't have done it as she's 11 but imo 7 is also too old to be doing this so once you've nailed the culprit I agree with the others on getting some help from your GP

Generally it's one to two lumps. It puzzles me that they are consistently the same consistency. Like when I go myself it varies depending on what I've eaten. These are generally quite solid & dry.

What I want from the thread I guess is to see if any other parent has experienced this.

I'm sure it's ds, he's very deep.

I presume he does the rest in the toilet, I don't go with him there anymore. He's 7, he's back to school in two weeks and I'm conscious he might do it there too.

Of course I've concerns I wouldn't be posting about it if I hadn't

OP posts:

JanglyBeads · 16/08/2021 22:41

Do you have any idea of the likely causes of his anxiety?

If his father is controlling, I’d be concerned about how things are for yr DS when at his house.

Also could it be that it’s precisely because you’ve solved the bed wetting that his anxiety is now expressing itself in a new way.

JanglyBeads · 16/08/2021 22:42

If they’re hard could he be constipated?

worriedatthemoment · 16/08/2021 22:47

Does he realise he is going ? My ds had a brief spell if this and didn't realise little bits were falling out as he was constipated from time to time. It only happened a few times and would be very small bits and hard.

newmummy8789 · 16/08/2021 22:49

Sounds like he's constipated

justasking111 · 16/08/2021 22:50

He sounds constipated.

andadietcoke · 16/08/2021 22:53

We have had this with one of the DTs. It took me a while to work out who it was. She then also ended up with bloody stools and I think the hard poo lumps were down to constipation and pain and all manner of other things that I haven't really explored because we now have another issue in that the GP prescribed laxatives to soften her stool and let the anal fissure heal and now she doesn't seem to realise when she's been, which has its own challenges.

Jangly I've got concerns about he parents them but they're happy to go to stay with him & unfortunately I've to accept that. He's a narcissist so will twist everything back on me.
