He has been potty trained for nearly a year. In the last couple of months he keeps going in his pants, both wees and poos. His little legs are sore from the wee as if he does it at pre school and they don't notice he's wet for a couple of hours. Ive tried all sorts from holding his hand when he's going in case it's a painful poo to setting an alarm every couple of hours. I'm sick of sluicing out shitty pants. He weed on his brothers bed yesterday it went right through duvet. I've just sat here and cried for the last hour. We've got in such a muddle with it . I'm tempted to butt out for a couple of days and not mention it all then slowly start remindING him again. I do get that he's 4 and if he's busy playing then he will have accidents, which is absolutely fine and I've told him so but it's just getting to much and I'm worried how he will cope at school in September.

How do the preschool not notice he's wet for hours?!?

When DS was training/having accidents it was fairly obvious by the patch on trousers.

Have they said anything/have you spoken to hem about it.

You may need to keep reminding him every couple of hours for a while. Dont get too stressed about it (easier said than done) as he will pick up on your stress and it may make it worse.

I have spoken to preschool a few times, they are very supportive. He did 3 wees this morning there today but weed himself at home. I've made him a poo sticker chart and one for wees today. I think I've stressed him out, so am not forcing the issue for a few days. Thanks.
