Potty Trained DCB Pooping in Pants

[wpgmomma0412]

4 months later it’s still happening. I’m really just so exhausted from cleaning up poop in places it shouldn’t be, & it’s been continuing with no end in sight. I think yesterday was the final straw for me. He had gone in his pants twice yesterday; the first time I was cleaning up a blowout from a diapered 1 year old at our changing place & when I returned to him he proudly told me he had gone in his pants & had a look of pride in his face when he told me. When he was in the washroom dealing with the aftermath himself, I had gone to inspect the spots of the room I knew he was playing at & there was poop also on my carpet. I had to devote about 15 minutes to clean that up immediately & the kids couldn’t use that spot until it was cleaned & dry (it’s a favourite spot among the kids). Also, at the end of the day after everyone was gone I had set out to clean my washroom as I usually do at the end of everyday & noticed a big ball of poop stuck to the top of my toilet lid, & right above this ball of poop there was a large poop smear with finger marks that looked like somebody had wiped their poppy fingers across the entire toilet lid.

I’ve been using this suggestion that was given by Suzie & it seemed to work & then he was back at it & even asked me if I could put a diaper on him because he “like to poop in my pants”. Then again yesterday afternoon he had gone in his pants again during a parent picking up another child because my attention wasn’t fully devoted to him (I was still of course watching all of my children, was just letting the parent know how their child’s day went). Still been going on at home too, & mom has told me that the other day at his moms doctor appointment he had gone in his pants because her attention wasn’t on him. Also, at a family gathering he had gone in his pants for his mom too because her attention also wasn’t fully on him at that moment.

I think I now have to ask for diapers when he returns next week on Monday. I am fully aware that this is going to cause him to regress, but at this point I am beyond exhausted & tired of dealing with this the last 4 months. It’s either diapers or I have to give notice. It is now starting to affect the cleanliness & hygiene of the other children’s spaces as well.
