I have no idea how to get my 3 yr old to poop in the toilet and not in her pull-up or in her underwear. She has been doing good about peeing in the toilet most of the time, but poop is a huge issue. She doesn't want to poop in the toilet at all and i'm afraid that if her school finds out that she doesn't poop in the toilet she will get kicked out of her preschool.

How long have you been training her?
How long has she been fully pee trained without messes?
How often is she wearing a pull up and how often does she wear underwear?
Are you using rewards? If so, what and how does she get them?
Is she using the adult toilet (with or without a potty ring) or the child's potty?
Does she poop at school at all or just only at home?
How are you dealing with the poop messes?
What have you done to try to poop train her?
Is she hiding to go poop?

She was started with potty training back in november of last year against my wishes when they were in foster care and she was not ready. She wears pull ups at night and at daycare and I try to have her wear underwear most of the day.
She's about 90% trained without having wetting accidents, but it doesn't help that she is at her dad's EVERY weekend but once the divorce is final it'll change to every other weekend. which will help. The poor little girl has had a lot of turmoil in her little life right now and I wonder if that is part of the problem.

Yes, turmoil plays a HUGE roll in potty training for some kids. If your child is 3 and has had just moving to foster care and back, mom and dad separating and going back and forth to mom and dad's houses every week, that's plenty of turmoil to cause a child to rebel against potty training. I know you can't help a lot of it so you may just have to let things go as they are right now and wait until life gets into a new normal for her to fully get her potty trained.

I feel the same. She needs to have a little more time. And, I don't know how your daughter's school policy is, but I explained to my daughter's teacher that my daughter was not fully trained. The teacher was very understanding. She said the policy was " expel if the child had two accidents in a week." My daughter waited till she came home to do poop anyway. It worked out. You might want to check the school policy and get help from the teacher if you can. Good luck.
