Drew is potty trained. He was absolutely the most difficult of my 3 kids to finally get trained, and it didn't happen until he was 3. He still can't make it through the night. I may never stop buying diapers/pull-ups.
Lately, he has started having accidents again. Not just when he is sleeping, but throughout the day. And sometimes, I find pee spots without finding wet clothes so I kinda feel like he is just dropping his pants and pissing every where at random.
I think he utilizes a tactic called "Revenge Pee". I'm pretty sure it goes like this: Drew is a little shit. Drew gets in trouble. Drew gets spanked/yelled at/sent to his room. After screaming for 4,567 hours, he thinks, "I'll show them", walks over to the closet and just pees in the floor. It's like having a puppy around the house all over again.
Speaking of puppies, the other night I didn't sleep well. The dogs were restless and just kept waking me up. They never whined or seemed to need to go outside, so I just kept telling them to shut up (not really effective) and trying to go back to sleep.
I guess the constant interruption in my sleep made me have a weird dream that I thought was real, and I woke up at 3:00 thinking I heard someone in my house. Instead of waking up my husband, I decided, stupidly, to investigate on my own (Truthfully, if there was an intruder, I'd probably be dead before I got him awake and alert enough to understand what was going on). I found nothing, so headed to the bathroom before I attempted sleep again.
So I am sitting in the dark, taking care of business, exhausted, with my head in my hands, when I look up and see a dark figure standing in the door way. Holy mother of pearl it scared the crap out of me (luckily I am on a toilet. ok, terrible joke), My husband had been woken up by my adventure, and was innocently headed to the bathroom and for a split second, I thought I was dead.
Needless to say, I didn't really sleep well for the rest of the night. The dogs settled down, but my heart just never recovered. When it was time to get ready for work, I discovered a nice fresh puddle of pee in my closet! As I am cleaning it up, I am cursing the dogs because I know it has to be one of them because of their restlessness the night before.
Drew wakes up and comes in the room. He asks what I am doing and I explain that I am cleaning up pee. He looks up and says, "But Mom! It wasn't me this time!!".
