He has been out of nappies since last July. Did ok with weeing to begin with but poos were a nightmare.
Then everything improved a lot and I really thought we had it cracked.

He hates poking though, tries not to go and we have poo in the pants frequently and occasionally on the floor.
Weeing has also become a nightmare again.

This morning we already have 2 wet pairs of trousers and a puddle of wee on the bathroom floor.

The basic issue is that he cannot be bothered to go. He is too busy playing, or watching TV or whatever it is and leaves it far, far too late.

The reason I know he is just being awkward about it, is that we never have accidents when we are out. Never. He tells me when he needs to go and holds on until we find a loo, every time, although he won't poo anywhere except at home.

I am absolutely at the end of my rope with him. I lost it totally just now when I found this puddle of wee on the bathroom floor, he hadn't even told me that he had made a mess. Him in tears, me in tears, it is horrible. :(

Sorry you are having a hard time. I thunk there are some good tips on the extended potty training thread.

Thanks Queen. I was on the thread back in December and I definitely need to revisit!
I was just beside myself this morning and needed to get it all out :)
