DD was 3 today.
She has been out of nappies in the day since around 19 months.
She still wears one at night.
Pottying was always a case of us knowing when she needed to go and asking her to sit on the potty, then she weed/pooed.
She's never asked for the potty/toilet to do a wee.
She has asked for the potty/toilet to poo quite reliably until the past couple of weeks.
if I just leave her to it, she will just wee wherever she is, she doesn't appear to know she's about to wee and doesn't seem to be particularly bothered that she has weed on herself. She will then say "I've done a wee on the floor mummy"
I wonder if by being v in tune with her, knowing when she needs to go, I've somehow overridden her ability to know herself.
Until recently I lived in hope she'd get there in the end, and her weeing was pretty predictable so we never really had accidents.
The past couple of weeks though she's been weeing randomly and pooed herself a few times. It's getting to the point that it's difficult to leave her with people.
She's not been ill and there's been nothing traumatic going on.
She has a year until she starts school and I'm worried that this situation could just keep going on until then when it could become a real problem.
And I'm getting desperately sick of mopping up wee. it's really starting to get to me.
I just want her to realise she needs to wee before she's done it.
help!
