WHY OH WHY? She has never mastered poos but was doing great with wees but suddenly over the last few days had started wetting herself frequently. Any ideas why or how to handle it? At the moment I'm not making any fuss, changing her and then just reminding her that big girls do wees in the potty not their pants. Should i be cross with her (I'm not talking screaming and shouting, just letting her know I'm not happy and it's not ok to keep doing it)?

PLEASE HELP!

She may just be getting a bit blase about it, or maybe she's getting involved with play and just forgetting. Try reminding her every hour or so, see if that makes a difference.

sigh. it's tough this being the adult lark , isn't it?

Any advice welcomed! DD started potty training a few months ago and was doing really well - using the loo for both and being dry at night. 3 weeks ago we moved house - temporarily with the in-laws, and since the move she has gone back to square one. She wets herself up to 10 times a day and is doing her poos in her pants too or even pulling down her pants and doing them outside on the ground. It is obvious when she is desperate to go and if I try to whisk her to the loo or the potty she has a tantrum and wets herself. With poo she is holding it in and then usually doing it first thing in the morning in her pull-ups.
Today we had a slight improvement where she used the potty 3 times for wees but the poo was done outside on the ground whilst playing - she carefully pulled her pants down and just did it on the floor!
I know she must be really affected by the move, particularly as it is temporary and all her stuff is in storage at the moment. I am getting to my wits end with this though as it is so hard to keep calm and be patient.
Does anyone have any bright ideas about how I can deal better with this? I've just introduced a sticker chart to her and DS (older) to try to improve behaviour in general...don't want to hold out too much hope though just yet!

Please help!!
