I hope you get this reply to your comment...Tracey, <br />I hope you get this reply to your comment! I couldn't figure out how to email you directly because your profile was private. The mother of a friend of mine runs a daycare and she recommended that I just put Kyra back in diapers, despite the fact that she was "potty trained". She said the pants wetting was a control and attention thing, so I did put her back in diapers. After about 2 days she was complaining and said she didn't want to wear diapers anymore, so I told her I'd let her wear her panties, but if she wet them she had to go back in diapers the rest of the day. I was so nervous that putting her back in diapers would be comfortable for her and we'd have to potty train all over again, but it was the exact opposite. We didn't have hardly any accidents in our big girl pants from then on. As you can tell from this post, I have felt the pain of what you're going through and I really hope this helps you!<br />KeshKeshethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13379624308210075443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900490031731912261.post-26923972613862028992010-12-02T02:04:03.704-05:002010-12-02T02:04:03.704-05:00Oh my, that sounds just like my son. HELP!!! My so...Oh my, that sounds just like my son. HELP!!! My soon to be 3 year old son has been essentially potty trained for almost 2 years now. He has weeks at a time where he will tell us he has to use the bathroom or just go himself but then there are other times where he will pee in his pants all day long. If I ask him if he has to go he says NO and gets upset. We also have moments like you described of Kyra, where he will be sitting on the potty after me having to hold him there and he is saying "I don't have to go, I don't want to go", then he'll get off and will have peed. I am so frustrated, discouraged and lost. I know it is a control issue and i know he is 100% potty trained if he wants to be. What I don't know, is how to get him to keep his pants dry and how I can keep from totally wanting to loose my mind when he doesn't. I feel like I have tried everything possible-rewards, praise, ignoring the wet pants, having him clean up his on mess, etc.<br /> If you have any insight, ideas or recommendations, I am all ears. What did you end up doing? Did it work? Is Kyra back to using the washroom independently? Please, I'm desperate and every other mom I have talked to hasn't experienced this. <br />Thank you so much in advance,<br />TraceyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04327981331811177425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900490031731912261.post-11693943730738610122010-02-01T15:12:29.657-05:002010-02-01T15:12:29.657-05:00Hang in there wonderful Mom!

We went round & round, but I survived and wouldn't trade her for anything now! You might check with your pediatrician and make sure there is no physical problem. She will get it one of these days!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894097834569861262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900490031731912261.post-24267673980868462762010-01-27T14:26:19.209-05:002010-01-27T14:26:19.209-05:00this so SUCKS! talk about something that can drain...this so SUCKS! talk about something that can drain the energy and enthusiasam from your day! hmm...have you tried doing an internet search for other moms who have expirienced the same? i'll do some poking around and see what i can find. sweet kyra...if only you could get into her brain for a few moments and find out what is going on!a blog full of weldons.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02322536578058033934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900490031731912261.post-71768746098483620922010-01-27T12:26:35.500-05:002010-01-27T12:26:35.500-05:00Sorry I am not much help either :( But it seems li...Sorry I am not much help either :( But it seems like everyone agrees that you are doing a wonderful job.
