Parenting adventures of the disgusting kind

in #life6 years ago

Lots of things in regards to children are fun and exciting...but then you have the other things. Sometimes I’m pretty sure that the reason kids are so cute at certain ages...is so we can’t get too extremely mad at them. That being said...my kids, this week in general, are trying my patience!

The youngest...is 2. He is the definition of a terrible 2 year old. I hate to compare him to his brother...because at this age, his older brother didn’t have any bad influences...but this child is extra willful, moody and down right stubborn!

We’re potty training at the moment. I’m sure that’s a lot of parents least favorite phase. This child is driving us nuts! He asks to go potty at least once every 10 minutes...will do nothing...and then...

HE POOPS ON THE FLOOR!!!! I’m sorry if this is too much information for some of you...but imagine how we feel! It’s not like he’s don’t this once or twice...and it’s not like it’s always an accident. He’ll run off after being punished...and poop in his room or his brothers...and smear it all over!!! We’ve done time outs, early bedtimes, cold baths...nothing is deterring his poop problems! At this point...we just need to buy a carpet cleaning machine...We actually had to order zip up onesies...so he can’t take his pajamas off during bedtime/naptime...In the meantime we’ve modified some old PJs.

So far it’s doing the trick! The adventures in parenting continue! It’s good, bad and sometimes yucky!!!

Sort:  

That is what you see at times as a parent every child differs in terms of their character , you need to study his actions closely maybe he is trying to expresses something that you parent fails to understand about his actions .

Maybe the zip up onesies is helping to prevent him from taking off his pajamas , but you still needs to study him and know why he is doing such thing always

I know you’re right! I think he really wants to use the potty...but he doesn’t quite make it in time...he’s trying to dispose of the evidence (poop)...but he isn’t doing it in the right manner...I’ve noticed he also seems to be amused by it...even though it gets him negative attention! The onesie is only for bed time...when he’s alone in his room!

Raising kids is indeed difficult. I totally understand, my step-kids are now teenagers. The challenges you face in raising a child will help your kids and yourself grow. You will face challenges but it’s nothing you can’t overcome. It’s never easy but to see your child grow up into a great, happy and healthy human being is what matters. Keep them close now as teenage years will be the most toughest times. Sorry you’re frustrated. He is totally being a kid! Stay strong and enjoy them as toddlers =)

Its is indeed a difficult phase. good luck for you.

I’ll be happy when he can use the potty on his own! Lol.

what should always be taken as a priority is the safety and well-being of children, these are our lights without a doubt. Friend, I invite you to check my last post

Kids do make life more interesting...that’s for sure!
