i admit it.

[nuklear]

i need help.

 

she's going through a crap load of phases at once, she's having authority issues where she things she should deny EVERY request, such as 'come here' and 'eat your dinner' 'sit down' .....

the other is the inevitable "no" phase. i'm losing my temper with her and i need advice.

the next is potty training. she was potty trained for 6 months. she even makes it to the potty for "number 2" EVERY TIME. she's terrific for that. but in order to get her to go number 1, i have to make her walk around all day without any kind of pants. and even that is hit and miss. this has been going on for QUITE some time now. she's being stubborn. if i put a skirt on her, she goes in that too. which means it goes on the floor. she'll even go steal underwear while i'm not looking just to go potty in them. so it's not an infection. and she's not doing it to show off because she tries to hide the pants she just went pee in.

i CAN trace this however. it started the day she had an accident during nap time. i told her that it was ok, we ALL make mistakes and that we can fix it by getting her a bath, fresh pants and a change of bedding.  i don't know how to reverse this mind-set without scarring her for life. HELP!!!
