Ds is 3.1, out of nappies for 4 months in day and at night for
1 month. Not east to train - poos in pants for 2 months - but no accidents ar all since he turned 3.

Came on hols on Sunday. Beach hol, no travelling so only room toilet and restaurant toiletto deal with - no problems withnew toilets when at home.

Anyway since we got here , all poos in pants and not even telling us. Now wees happening in pants too. And just laughs and says he likes it on pants and toilets are dirty

At stage of putting him back innappies after yet another 'poo' during meal and having to handwash pants yet again. Please helpTrying and failing to be chilled out about it due to not being at home with potty, sticker charts, mop and washing machine.
What should we do ? Here until
Next Tuesday

I think DS is more affected by this change in his routine than you realise. Also everything is different and more distracting. Sounds to me as if he would rather go back to using a potty as well, and that he is feeling a bit insecure.

Could you go back to taking him to the loo at regular intervals, whether he needs to go or not? Could you buy a cheap potty for him? Draw a reward chart and draw smiley faces on it whenever he does something in the right place, or give a sweet? Basically go back to potty training again.

Slept on it last night and come to same conclusion - think he's been thrown by heat and jetlag despite actually appearing to take those 2 things in his stride - clearly the toilet is still the hardest thing for him so the one to wobble withnew environment. Will dtart again as you suggest - Off to shops to find potty and rewards today.
