I swear I could rip my hair out right now.

DD has become increasingly crap with going to the toilet.
She's had it down to a T for long enough and she's started wetting herself again.
She'll do the jiggling about and when she does I tell her to go.
It can the go 2 ways, she'll go to the toilet but its too late and shes already wet herself or she'll kick up a real tantrum, cry and create, demand for me to go with her, anything.
In fact I think its the latter thats making me so mad, well the whole wetting herself is really.

I've hit a brick wall in my mind. I can't praise her anymore than what I do when she does go.

What the hell can I do to stop it.
I can't have her doing this for when the new baby gets here.

sounds like she wants some attention and is using this to get it from you. try taking her to the toilet (she may be regressing because of the baby coming )

start agin wiht the sweets imo
let her hear you "ringing someone up" to tell them how good she is on the potty

get her a couple of mags to putt int here an dput a sign on the door wiht somehtign pink on it

YellowFeathers · 10/07/2006 17:05

Right ok

Should I resort to sweets because I never used them when potty training and also we've got a ban on them atm due to her being on hunger strike (thats another thread)

I shall pile her mags in there and make a girly sign with her tomorrow.
I'll try taking her again too but its so infuriating and such a step backwards.

don't view it as a step backwards you know she can do it see it as her needing a bit of reassurance or any way which puts a positive spin on it for you

poisson · 10/07/2006 17:08

ooh ooh and make a LOO occupied " sign

YellowFeathers · 10/07/2006 17:09

I know I should its just so hard atm.
If I wasn't so big and pregnant it probably wouldn't bother me.

dd1 did this after being toilet trained for nearly a year.
It was def attention with her and I just ignored it really. I'd clean up put her in clean pants and carry on regardless.
Within a couple of weeks she stopped and started using the toilet again.
btw I had just had a new baby a few weeks earlier.

hth

gothicmama · 10/07/2006 17:11

yep and that why she does it - dd decided she had to be carried to bed again when i was prg (didn't happen but she tried everything)

YellowFeathers · 10/07/2006 17:11

Thats what I was thinking.

Something like those Hotel door knob signs.
I wouldn't mind, that bathroom is her own. No one else uses it!

Funny that.
She hasn't really acknowledged the fact that there will be a new baby soon.
GM, She nags for me to carry her after a bath now.

How old is she YF? My ds3 is 3.5 and has been potty trained for nearly a year but I still have to take him to the loo. He has only very very rarely taken himself off to the toilet by himself. I am sure my other children were independent a lot sooner than this, but I try to tell myself it isn't worth the argument if wet pants will be the result.

YellowFeathers · 10/07/2006 17:31

She'll be 3 in October so she is still quite young but like I said she'd got it off to a T. She can wipe herself really well and she has a little stool so she can reach the sink and will turn the taps on and can use the squirty soap.
