If I get one more time when I chage a diaper I am going to hurt someone

I cant take it. Rainey has been kicking ONLY me when I change her. I am like WTF? Why is she doing this, I mean she is kicking so hard that I cant even get a diaper under her butt let alone snappi the damn thing

: This is how it happends:

Either I try to change her and she kicks or she has been diaper less and I have been telling her about every 20 min to remember to go potty on the potty- so if she doesnt by like 2 hours I know she is near peeing and I have to put a diaper on her so I try get kicked and then I tell her she has to go stand in the corner- it is that or I would just go blistic on her- or the corner is best. What does she do the second I start to walk a way- PEES ALL OVER THE FLOOR!

I mean I have just told her sit on the potty and she will not so I try to put a dipe on get kicked to high hell and then put her in punishment for kicking me and she pees!

She talks very little- like my firends boy (about a month older than Rainey) says "Mama, I got to pee" Rainey says " -----" yep nothing- but yet she has peed in the potty about 3 times, but also she never tells me when she pees- just walks away and I find it.

help!!! I dont know what to do- I can feel myself getting so mad when she kicks me- it hurts! I dont know if I love this toddler thing

Most things she does are great, but OMG....

Wow that sounds really difficult. I'm sorry you are so frustrated.

My dd is a diaper changing kicker too. Maybe not every time but frequently. It sounds a little different because it usually works out okay for me. I just let her kick until she gets tired of it and then she will let me put her diaper on. I usually say something like "I know you don't want to get your diaper changed but it isn't okay to kick me." I just stand back and after awhile she usually kicks herself out. Sometimes she will stop and start again as I move in for the diaper application. I just move back again and tell her to stop kicking me. Usually she gives up.

Recently we have had a change as she has decided that she does not like to be without a diaper and she has NO interest in the potty. So she will carry a diaper over to me to put on her!!

It sounds like your dd isn't ready to potty learn if she isn't verbalizing the need to pee. My dd doesn't verbalize needing to pee or poo although she does hide to poo! But whenever I mention the potty to her she yells "NO POTTY" which is an indication to me that now would be a bad time to try to potty learn!

I'm sorry that I really don't have any advice. I'm assuming if you just let her kick herself out, she would run away and pee somewhere. Does the standing in a corner work for other things? I can't imagine my dd in a corner. She wouldn't understand and definately wouldn't stand there!!

Good luck.

Hi Crayon!

I am not having this specific problem but I can understand the frustration. Dd kicks us during changes too and it can be very difficult. it mostly happens when we are out of the house or trying to change her in a different room. We have a designated changing spot on her bed in her room (ya know, the one she doesn't ever sleep in....). It seems I have no problem if I keep it in the same spot every time.

On the potty learning thing, it sounds like your dd is too young to get it and the corner is probably also confusing. Do you have wood floors? My plan with dd is to just have her go naked and let her pee on the floor a few times to figure out the mechanics. Either she will figure it out and want to use the potty or she will not be ready, not like pee on her legs, and cooperate for diaper changes.....I hope. She is also not very verbal but does say "potty". Everyone is telling me this means she is ready but she only says it after the fact. I know I do not have a calm enough temper to handle a long drawn out process so I am waiting until she is practically begging to use the potty. Plus we are camping for half the summer and I do not want to deal with potty learning on the road and in outhouses.....call me lazy. Anyway, good luck!

YES!!! I'm glad its not just my son that gets possessed by some evil diaper changing, hell raising, screaming demon! My ds has always been a kicker. I remember when he was very new and my husband & I used to crack up because ds would get a funny intense look and kick rapidly for like thirty minutes straight! I should have known this wouldn't be so funny later. Now every time I change him he gets all rigid, screams and then kicks hard. I've found tricks to entertain him while I change him such as giving him a cracker or something to chew on, handing him an engaging toy, etc. I've also found myself doing some pretty embarassing things such as making stupid faces and sounds and doing little dances. I've learned that distraction is my best defense. In my baby's defense, he is normally sweet & funny. That's why it is like the excorcist when it is diaper changing time!
