Battle of Wills

My youngest needs to poop.

He is doing everything he can not to, but it’s gonna happen, soon.

I keep telling him to sit on the potty, and he will for a minute, but then gets down. He tells me he doesn’t want to poop.

Place your bets now on where the turd winds up.

Behind the couch.

My advice in my experience with strong willed boys……do NOT have a battle of wills without weapons. Ask instead where HE wants the turd to land and as long as it’s one of the two socially acceptable places (dipe or toilet), go with it.

Oh my goodness…I was so there..

Took exlax, miralax and a shitload (pardon the pun) of other doodie-free foods…

Hail to the poop.

I wish you well.

I’m going to guess in a corner of whichever room has the newest carpet.

We are still fighting the battle of the poop, at least off and on. Best place it’s been left for me? Behind his bed, which he fits behind, but I don’t, and in the top of the play center at McDonalds. The McDonalds was officially my worst Mommy moment EVER.

He has no problem peeing in the toilet. What the the hell is the problem with the poop??????

Hopefully not in the air register! That happened to a friend. It took them a couple of days to figure out where the smell was coming from.

Hopefully not in the closet which is where mine had her last “hide and go poop” episode. Now that I see Slackermommy’s comment, though, I think I got off easy.

Hopefully it won’t hit the fan!

I crack myself up…

One thing that helped my kids was to squeeze their tummies a bit while they sit on the toilet to help them know what muscles to tense.

I ticked the kids legs, and it made them go, and if I said ” you’ll get a prize even if you do a small poop!”. It took s good 2 weeks to get him to fully go on the potty! Oh the prize was a marshmallow with an m&m in the middle!

One word: BeneFiber.

Ok, some more words: It really works!

I have to second Sarah’s advice from the Trenches. We’ve tried it all from Miralax on and Benefiber really DOES work well. I’ve never been able to hide any other medicine in food but Sweet Boy falls for the Benefiber mixed into ketchup every time. And man can that boy eat a ton of ketchup in one sitting.

I’m betting under his bed.
Sarah Aug 8th 2007 at 12:18 pm 14

OOOH! How abouts the kitchen sink?
That would be impressive, no?
christina Aug 8th 2007 at 12:22 pm 15

oh under the bed is bound to happen eventually.

Hopefully not your purse.

Don’t you just love ‘hide and seek’ or have you mislaid your inner child?

Once again, my child insists on going against the grain. She’ll (almost every time) poop in the potty, but absolutely WILL NOT pee in the potty with any type of regularity. UGH!

in the cookie jar.
