This Potty Thing!

This Potty Thing Has got me all sorts of going crazy why is he doing so badly. Its like all the sudden these episodes just started from the middle of know where and I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT!!!! ?
He has done so good (i mean good as in 2 years so good.) He went when he needed and then WHAM now he keeps going potty in his unders.
BLAH I have tried the bribe thing and that worked for like 2 or 3 days and i mean i did a good bribe he could go shopping for whatever toy he wanted that was under hundred dollars if he would just go without having an accident for two weeks like i said he did good for a few days and then it all happened again. i even told him the toys that he has been asking for, for Christmas he could get now and he got all sorts of excited but like before he lasted for a few and then it was like all interest was gone and yet he still sees these toys on T.V and says i want those and the only thing i can say is STOP GOING in your pants. I mean yelling at him isn't going to do anything that's only going to make matters worse cause if you yell then they are going to be scared to come to you and tell you even though he doesn't tell me anyway, but still I'm not going to yell. Spanking is not the answer that just makes them scared of you and you don't want your kids scared of you ya know. Putting him in the corner when he does naughty things works, but its not going to stop him from peeing. I could send him to his room, but that is used for his bedtime and if i keep sending him there he will never want to go in there again.
ERR i just want to go hide in a corner and never come out i cant stand the smell of settled pee *settled cause he never tells anyone he did tell i notice that he keeps scratching at himself.* it makes me want to vomit!!!!! There cloths stink and sometimes even after washing them you still can smell it so you end up throwing away the cloths and buying new ones. This is so frustrating I'm running out of ideas here and i was on some site that said you should discipline them and i find that is SO totally wrong how is discipline going to work?. There is something going on for them to pee there pants like this especially if they had not had any accidents for 2 years a kid doesn't move forward and then start going backwards. HELP ME.

So have you been in this situation before? What did you do? Do you know someone who had the same problems?

3 Monstrously awesome verbiage!:

My daughter did this and the best thing for her was to get her into the routine of going to the bathroom every few hours or so. I'd just make her sit on the toilet. Whether or not. She usually went. It takes time Jordann, but don't lose heart. He'll get it.

btw OxyClean works wonders on the clothes.

Oh gosh you poor thing Jordann. Its seems so long ago for me. Of course I had a girl too so not sure how much difference it makes but this is what I did.

Place books and toys near the toilet - sounds odd but it was like making them feel secure to fo there.

When your child awakes in the morning, place the child on the toilet.

give them something to read or play with because it may take time.

Take this time to clean the tub, sink or put on your makeup, because it will be a few minutes before your child does anything.

When the child has done this, applaud, praise and then remove them from the toilet.

Don't let them take the toys away (incentive to return to the toilet)

At regular intervals during the day, ask the child if they have to go to the toilet. Continue this until the child is able to do this themselves.

Also I found that if they revert back to old habits there may be something troubling them - has he been upset or is there something going on?

Anyway best of luck - I am kind of glad thats all behind me - but this is great practice for when you ahve babies too. All the best.
