Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 Now here's a subject that's really giving me the .... !! At this moment, I feel that we will NEVER toilet-train Bayly. It seems that he will be the oldest child in nappies, the way we're going. He just will not use the toilet. Rather, he just won't tell us when he needs to, he actually holds it in, and then does it two minutes after you put his nappy back on (after two or three trips to the toilet). We figure it's because he's sometimes scared of falling while getting on or off, and some days when he cannot walk or stand properly he won't even try. Also, he never does solid bowel movements. Never. Maybe it's the drugs, his refusal to eat better, or what, I don't know. But... (Warning: Pity Party approaching!) I am getting so sick of changing sloppy stinky nappies. Especially when the nappy doesn't hold. He'll be 4 in May, and his just-turned-2 little sister Violet is almost toilet-trained. (She does solid ones and is not afraid of anything.) Yes it's a combination of things, but for now I feel like a failure as a parent, and it just gives me one more reason to hate this bloody disease.
