DS is 8. I was trying to re toilet train him after regression since he was little. Last year his continence nurse said that he was dribbling constantly and getting very distressed and confused about toiletting and to put him back in nappies for a year until he 'forgot' all of his toiletting and then to start again with medication for his bladder.
All was going smoothly. He has been back in nappies for a year, I have the medication ready to begin training after our holiday. But I have recently discovered that every time DS goes to his paternal grandads (3 hours a week for tea) he has been trying to toilet train him.
I only know because DS has started with the echolalia "if you need a wee go toilet" "if you go to the toilet I will say it" when I ask him who said that he said "grandad"
He's getting very confused again and I think that's why he's started 'telling' me.
His grandad knew what I was trying to do. He agreed with me to my face, but clearly thought he'd just carry on behind my back.
I don't think his dad has been doing it, DS always only says that his grandad says it. Me and his dad have been separated since DS was a baby and his paternal grandad has always asked for his own access as well because he really loves DS.
I'm really annoyed and upset that he's been doing this behind my back but what can I do? Will it have fucked up toiletting for him that was supposed to start again this Summer?
