My child has lost his mind!

[estevie]

Last night, my 3yo old walks into the kitchen and pees on the window. I am shocked. He is potty trained, knows where to go and what to do. So, I ask "why did you pee on the window?" Of course, he doesn't know. So, we sit down and have a little talk. Alls well


Or so I thought, he just walked into the laundry room and peed on the floor! What the heck is this all about? He can't be peeing all over the place, what the hell?

 

[Zamdrist]

The reason could be medical, but don't freak out or over-react.

Has there been any recent traumatic experiences in his life?

Is there something 'scary' in the bathroom? Spider? Tiger Beetle?

Check his bedding too...

 

[SweetBrat73]

Yeah it could be a traumatic experience, but traumatic could be any kind of change with a child that young.


Just remember he'll stop doing it once he's grown...so no worries LoL That's something my mom keeps telling me

[estevie]

No, nothing medical, that I am aware of. He has had no trauma, no big bad bugs in the potty. These were the only times I have seen him do this.

I am not freaking out yet, just damn odd that he would do such a thing.

 

[Andreina]

maybe he is marking his territory?

He's 3

He's a boy

He's discovered.. AIMING and the ease of peeing where he is standing.



Just tell him not to do it.. or discipline him in a fashion you find fitting.. he will eventually learn to only aim at the toilet or the trees outside...

Nothing is wrong with him..he's perfectly normal

This brings to mind a scenerio from my childhood. I must share....


Growing up in my hometown, we lived downtown almost, behind the cop shop. One easter, my dad's entire family was coming over for dinner. To entertain the little ones, I spent 2 days, cooking and coloring eggs. Easter morning, I spent over an hour outside hiding these eggs, there was like 6 dozen so it took forever. Out in front of our house were two bushes (really bushy trees) and I had hidden an egg in the very bottom branches of these trees so the littlest ones would be sure and find them. Be side these trees in front of my house, was a huge picture window where you could see the entire front yard.
About 15 minutes after I walked into the house, a neighborhood stray dog came and walked right up to the bush on the right and pissed all over that poor little egg. It was like he knew exactly what he walked into the yard to do. So, I go outside, remove the egg, throw it away, etc. I go back inside, while I'm washing my hands, my dad calls me over to the picture window. There before my eyes is my 6 year old brother PISSING on the other egg in the bush on the left!!!!

just so long as he doesn't pee on a heater...... that's a smell I'll never forget as long as I live..... "shuddddder"

This Texan is sooo looking forward to the "empty nest"....

Well hell, he has been potty trained for close to a year now, he didn't just discover how to aim...but maybe in his little mind it just dawned on him

Crazyass kids!

LMAO!!

Halo

 

[patient1]

Sometimes 3 year olds get desperate for attention...
Like when the rest of the adults in an extended family that used to faun all over him ignore him in favor of a new baby that can only lay around, cry, & pee.

Funny story, Roxie.

oh.. but he found the fun of aiming..

aiming at the toilet is one thing

aiming at everything in site is so much more fun

 

[estevie]

Ok, I got ya...but I can't have him peeing all over the damn house. I'll have to get him fixed like I did the cats!

he's doing this at night?

does he come from bed when he does it, if so he may look awake but is most likely sleep walking.

me and my brother did that from when we were potty trained till about 10-11 years old. get up walk out of the room start talking with our parents in the front room go right by them and do somthing

I have over the years, peed in the tub, the laundry basket, the stove, on my mom while she was in her rocking chair (but that was her fault I was infront of her she said, "do you need to go to the bathroom?" so I whiped it out and peed) out the front room door down the stairs. etc...

I still sleep walk to this day but now I eat while asleep instead of pee.

esteive check that out, the next time he does it, egnore him let him go back to bed, the next day ask him if he remebers doing it, if he says no he is sleep walking. if he sais yes then he has some other reason

 

[roxie]

Have you thought about those little bullseye things that go in the bottom of the toilet?
Where did I see those?

It has been only at night but he wasn't in bed yet, he's not sleep peeing. He did it on purpose. *shrugs* Last night he didn't et in trouble but we did discuss that we only pee in the potty. He got that. Then tonight, he walked right by me into the laundry room and peed. I got mad and sent him to bed. I just went and talked to him again, asked him why he did that. He says he hated that blanket. (there was a blanket on the floor of laundry room to be washed) So, he peed cause he hated the blanket! Well, just fine and dandy...should I worry if I am making something he doesn't like for dinner?

Ya know, it might be a good idea. Make it a game so he does pee in potty. Good grief, boys!

[Guest]

Hell, maybe he is a budding perv and just wants to see mommy's ass when she bends over to clean it?

You are one fucking sick individual BratCat.

 

[Draco]

Buy a box of ping pong balls, throw one in the toilet, he'll have so much fun trying to "sink the ball" he wont miss again. Its worth a try....

[Cherry]

Este, any new addition to the household recently?

New child being babysat for? New puppy or kitty?

Anything new that could have upset his security?

My sister's first born was three when his little brother was born ... and he regressed into the same kind of thing ... either for attention, or because he was upset that things were changing.

I like the ping pong trick ... that could work!

 

[Chantal Marchon]

toddlers- go figure.. .

Sounds like he did it because he could. He might keep doing it because it gets a reaction from you. Kids don't have logic at this age. The act on whim quite often.

Just yesterday my daughter discovered she could take off her own clothes. So this morning she took off her clothes and diaper and ran around the house squealing with glee. She thought it was funny to have her daddy chase her around the house trying to get her diaper back on her. I just sat back and laughed.

 

[Cherry]

Awwwwww ... how cute!

Let's hope she doesn't try that in the mall the next time for laughs!
