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

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 have to second Sarah’s advice from the Trenches. We’ve tried it all from Miralax on and Benefiber really DOES work well.

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?????? We are still fighting the battle of the poop, at least off and on. Best place it’s been left for me?

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.
