Toddler getting out of bed and peeing on the floor

Every night for the past 6-8 weeks our 3 year old has decided he wants to get out of bed after bedtime and do a little pee on the floor somewhere. He also opens the curtains/pulls them down. When we go in to check on him he is happy to show us the pee. It's driving us mad!

We put him on the potty 2-3x during the bedtime routine. I have taken to removing all of his bedding and toys when he does this as a sort of punishment, but it's absolutely not sinking in and he keeps doing it. I've no idea what to do! We don't spank the kids, though I can see a life where that would be an efficient way of getting a little bit of obedience, but it's just not us.

Has anyone had this or have any ideas we could try to stop it? His room stinks like a public bog and the curtain rails have been broken and bodged back into place a couple of times.

Review your expectations. Alll my friends kids same age and older are still in nappies. One is not but he can't poo without a prescribed series of circumstances x

As I said above, we do put him in pullups (at night). He's very well potty trained and doesn't wet himself during the day, goes for pees and poos himself and lets us know when he's done so.

Its not really good form to withhold half the information and then take the piss out of posters. If you genuinely want help, I think you need to put all of the details in your first post or fuck of to netmums.

I don't think he is doing it out of spite. Try to remove that from your mind and it'll probably be a lot easier for you to deal with.

You need to take a step back..What is he gaining from weeing on the floor.. It isn't spite..

Attention is more than likely, delaying bedtime.
Removing beddding, gives attention, telling him off gives attention.

One of you need to sit outside the bedroom door, as soon as he is out of bed get up and return him to bed. No eye contact, say nothing. It may well take a while but it is breaking it.. I would also advise sit on a chair out there as by the time you have got up off the floor he will of pulled them down..

What is he sleeping in? What about a onsie? will make it difficult to remove.
