HELP ME!
Ds (2.5) has taken to the toilet/potty really well, and we have been lucky with this I guess. Only have the odd accident, on the whole it's fine.
The problem we have is night time. He's still in a nappy, but is often dry thru the night (we're not rushing him though!)
BUT at bedtime, after stories, we take him for a last wee on the toilet. This was fine until recently. Now he insists on getting up again and again, each time insistent that he needs a wee.
It seems completely wrong to make him stay in bed when he thinks he needs a wee...sometimes he squeezes a bit out, sometimes not. Although I think he often is really convinced he needs a wee there is definitely also an element of 'playing up' and playing for time.
It's starting to really upset us both as it is so hard to know what to do. This is going on for often over an hour and he is up 10 times or more. I hate losing my temper with him but I am so bloody frustrated. And I KNOW that he is little, doing so well with toilet etc... but how do we break this cycle?
Are we the only people this has happened to? Are we crap parents???
