And I don't know what to do anymore.

She KNOWS how to pee on the potty. She is three for goodness sakes.


Today: Wake up, goes downstairs, gets on the table (where we EAT) and pees all over the playdoh. I put her on the potty, she poops.

I say please pee on the potty, you are not a baby. She has been potty trained for a year or more.

Then she pees by the fridge. Time out in her room.

She goes downstairs and pees again by the fridge. By this time I am so pissed, I throw a diaper on her and yell.


I am so beyond pissed off and frustrated. I have a four year old and an eight month old too. I just don't have the time to be cleaning up pee over and over.

This goes in spurts. She will be fine for a week, two weeks whatever before she starts peeing on the floor like a dog.

PLEASE HELP ME know what to do.

She is cleaning it up on her own now, other then that, I am at a loss. I am threatening, pleading, ignoring, yelling, time outing...

:angry :nono :crying

and your also giving her attention for it. Remember children will do what ever it takes to get attention, even if its negative.

I have tried ignoring the problem...I even did that for a whole week, but she still did it.

Because on the 8th day you responded! She's crying out for attention, I know its hard but it sounds like she really does need/want more attention. Even if you stop this behavior she will just replace it with something just as annoying to get your attention.
