This is almost too disgusting to admit but over the past few weeks DD (3 1/2) has been knowingly peeing in her bedroom. I know this is completely FOUL.

The first time she did it, she was playing on her bed with her brother and she just weed in it knowingly. When I asked her why, she made what I felt was an excuse (because I was jumping).

So she was punished for doing this. I explained to her we pee in the toilet not in our bedroom and that the bedroom will smell of pee and that would be embarassing wouldn't it?

Then last week I heard her say " I am going to do wee" and then a laugh and then DS told me she peed in her princess tent. She had toys in her tent which she also peed on and I refused to wash any of them and threw them in the bin.

Last night she weed on her big my little pony, toy dog and bouncing tigger - and I only found out when she was asleep, so I woke her up and asked her why she did this naughty thing - she made some other excuse.

WHAT ON EARTH would be driving this terrible behaviour. It's almost hard to admit because she is a nice girl, she's just doing some really disgusting behaviour. I told her that if she ever did that again I was going to throw the big MLP out because it is a favourite toy.

Come to think of it I may discuss throwing the My Little Pony out as a punishment with DH tonight.

I feel like she needs psychiatric help or something - to me this is unheard of! We certainly aren't dirty people and she has been toilet trained for a long time now.

I guess the behaviour hurts because it is the kind of thing that I feel reflects on me because it is so atrocious!

Please advise...

Oh, Aussie Mum, I'm sorry. :( You know, apparently this kind of behavior isn't that unusual. When I worked in a daycare years ago, there were a number of children that would pee in odd places. I was young, not even married, and I was like, :shock:, but the daycare owner said it's not unusual and not to freak-out about it. Since then I've heard of other mommies going through this with their pre-schoolers, as well. I've heard that it's a part of the child acquainting themselves with their bodies and it's amazing functions.

I wish I had some great advice. Maybe someone else will. Try not to feel too badly about it. Kids can do some strange things... :? :lol: [heart]

My now 17 yr old, extremely bright, responsible, overly mature young man walked down the hall one day when he was 5 and stood right in front of me and peed in the school room! [whatwacko] He seems to be just a wonderful upright young person now. I don't know why he did it, and to this day he remembers doing it and doesn't know why he did. Now, he never did it again. But I had another one, I can't remember which one, that was peeing in the bathroom trash can repeatedly for awhile. I don't know. Maybe it isn't that strange. But if it persists, maybe a pediatrician might know something. Maybe she has a UTI ( urniary tract infection) or other physical issue. :?: You know, later on when she is all grown up you will laugh about this, [rofl] but I can only imagine how irritating it is right now and baffling. Will keep it in prayer for you! [pray]

yeah uti's are always something I look for and she definately doesn't have that so that's something we can rule out.

DH came home and talked to her again and confiscated her my little pony's until she can go for sometime without doing this. I said to him it's not so much that she is weeing it's deliberately weeing.
He just reiterated that wees belong in the toilet not in our bedroom and when she learns to stop doing this behaviour she can have the pony's back.

She is an extremely bright kid too she speaks and acts well beyound her years and remembers EVERYTHING, so I guess if she was in anyway under developed in areas or acted more like her age I wouldn't be so :evil:

I think she's trying because she was playing and then went to the bathroom and came out and told us she didn't pee in her bedroom, so she is thinking about what she is doing now.

Maybe with the new baby coming she was trying to get attention???

No, she's not like that. She's REALLY excited about the baby.

She's quite confident and I can say without a doubt the baby would absolutely not threaten her, particularly as she is a twin so there has always been someone else to share the limelight with.

Ugg, take comfort I guess, I know someone who's 3 year son old peed on the curtains at church in the middle of the sermon :oops: :oops:

Yeah LOL.. not exactly what was meant by "rivers of living water" was it?


I am pleased to report that DD has not peed in her room or even wet the bed (we weren't even addressing the issue of the bed wetting) since we took the ponies away and talked to her about the bad behaviour. She is very proud to tell us that she hasn't peed in her bedroom and got her ponies back on Sunday.
