Oh man, so I’ve been hoping I wouldn’t need to write this post, but Charlie and I are at our wits’ end and we don’t know what to do. Stella will be 4 in two months, and she has been daytime toilet trained for nearly 2 1/2 years. She’s been nighttime trained for 6 months.
However, ever since she started school, she’s been having accidents almost EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.
Not at school, mind you (as far as I know? I guess I don’t see her until a couple hours later), but after school – at home, in the car, playing with friends, in bed… it’s driving us absolutely bonkers. She won’t even TELL us about it – she just keeps on playing or eating or whatever until one of us smells the ammonia emanating off of her. UGH!
We’ve tried talking to her, gently correcting her, bribing her, getting frustrated with her… I read this article and I know that pre-k has been a big transition for her, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating for us or any easier to stay calm & supportive with her about the whole ordeal.
Has anyone else gone through this? Any tips or ideas or thoughts about how long this will last?
Sincerely,
The Mom Who is Tired of Doing So Much Laundry
