Too tough?

[lizmarie1975]

My 4 year old has been holding her pee until the last possible second which usually means that she wets herself at least once a day.  She knows she has to go but usually doesn't want to stop doing whatever she's doing.  It's almost like she gets a kick out of changing her panties 3-4 times in one day.

So, starting today she's no longer allowed to change her underwear if she wets herself because she couldn't be bothered to go when she first realized she had to pee. If it's a true accident, like peeing during her nap...rare, then she can change).

Am I being too tough?

Yeah, too tough for my taste.

Good way to cause a breeding ground for infection. Frustrating I know.

Yes.  i would never let my daughter wear an underwear if she wet herself.

I agree with the PP about infection. It's probably not the best idea. If I can think of something better for you I'll let you know. I'm going through the same kind of thing with my little boy and it's SUPER annoying, lol.

Didn't think of that...but I don't expect her to wet herself.  I expect her to go when she first realizes it.  It's not like she's just potty trained or anything.  She's just holding it until she can't hold it anymore...and the bathroom is only 5 feet away.

safer to have her run around with no panties on then wet ones.

I really don't expect that she'll pee in her underwear anymore.  I really just want her to stop holding her pee and go when she has to go.

yeah, not good on the hygine front. would a potty schedule work?so she has to stop whatever she's doing.  idk, me i'd threaten to slap her butt back into diapers.

That would be right up her alley.  Unfortunately, I don't think my son & his friends would appreciate it too much!  lol.

What is she doing that she doesnt want to stop to go pee... take those things away. DEFINITELY wouldnt let her keep peeing in the same underwear all day....
