5.5yo STILL in pull ups at night

[JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff]

I really just want someone to make me feel better.

5.5yo DD still wears nappy pants at night. She shows no sign of wanting to give them up. I have always been of the mind that you shouldn't push children on toileting, it'll come in time, but she just seems like she'll keep on using them forever.

Tonight she had a poo about half an hour after bedtime. I am fairly sure this is behavioural to put off bed. It had got all over her legs so she had to go in the bath and get showered off.

She shows no sign of embarrassment about this. I feel almost teary as tonight is a night "off" I've booked away from chores. First night in months. Was going to do a yoga dvd. Now spent 20 mins cleaning up poo of a Year 1 child.

Is this normal??? What am I getting wrong?

My son who is now 25 and a senior ecologist was definitely wearing pull ups until he was 7/8. He was lazy and just couldn’t be bothered...don’t worry 💐

Really, don't stress about it. My older two boys weren't reliably dry at night until they were 8 or 9. It's hormonal, you can't traiin it. My youngest was dry at night at two and a half, the same time as he was dry by day. They are all different. Try not to worry.
