Sorry who's the parent here?
And why have you got a picture on your profile of your dc's behind?

MerlinsBeard · 14/04/2010 16:10

Pick up the child and change the nappy. That's it.

No need for a bath, just clean with wipes or something.

ShinyAndNew · 14/04/2010 16:11

I'd just pick him up calmly, lay him over my knee and change the nappy. It needs doing or he will get sore. The mess is irrelevant.

should he not be using a potty by now?

Horton · 14/04/2010 17:08

I would just say 'I am changing your nappy RIGHT NOW' and pick him up and do it. Later on, I would probably have a long talk about poo making bottoms sore and did he actually want his bottom to hurt. But this kind of thing is non-negotiable. Also, if he won't obey you at 2, what is it going to be like when you can't just pick him up and get whatever it is done? He needs to start learning right now that some things just aren't going to go away and he really does have to do them even if he would rather play.

As a general word of advice, bumbly, you have some quite odd photos on your profile and a lot of your postings do seem to centre around toilet training / nappies etc. Mumsnet has been targetted in the past by very sick individuals who have posted lots of things like that for kicks.

If I were you I would at least change my photos and the topic of conversation.

I hope you find this advice helps you.

weirdo

Thankyou Nemofish- It wasn't just me then.
Well said AnyFucker (bows in homage)

scottishmummy · 14/04/2010 19:17

you are the adult pick the portable child up.change nappy.thsi really doesn't require a thread asking strangers what to do about a poopie arse

get a grip

AnyFucker · 14/04/2010 19:48

OP, you seriosuly need to get a grip

I feel a bit bad now, because I think you have a problem

You have dozens, upon dozens, upon dozens of threads on mostly inconsequential topics to do with the minutiae of your child's health and bodily functions, many of them poop-related (but not all)

are you receiving any help for this ? (I am serious)

stickybeaker · 14/04/2010 20:49

It looks like she's just a worrier. I think the profile pics are to demonstrate to people some of the problems talked about?

Probably best take them off though.

I think that the OP is a genuine poster, but perhaps stress a bit less? OP my advice would be to step up, be a parent (ie be in control) and try and enjoy your child. A 2 yo won't understand that he'll get sore if you don't change him so you need to adopt the approach that you know best. Explain what's going to happen then just get on with it.

Nemofish · 14/04/2010 21:36

Posted years back? But your little one is only 2 and a half, isn't that right?

You have had good advice from several posters.

My advice was to safe guard YOU as much as anything.

Sorry that should be 2 and three quarters

kitkatsforbreakfast · 14/04/2010 21:37

And now you've moved the picture so I never got a look.

However, you need to get on with changing nappies. I can't believe you are even considering there are any options when dealing with a runny poo. Just do it. No discussions. No negotiations. Unless you want to make his bottom really sore so he really won't want to have his nappy changed.

And possibly time to start thinking about potty training if nappy changing time is becoming a battle.

GFatemybaby · 14/04/2010 21:37

Toddlers whinge about everything. Just do what you've got to do.

MerlinsBeard · 14/04/2010 21:38

we gave you advice and nemo also pointed out simple internet safety

once again i will reply to your OP

Just change the nappy. There is no need to bath, it's only poo-use a wipe.
