Anyone who has ever potty trained..come in..

OK...this is like the story that never ends. M is potty trained fully, except he won't poop on the damn potty. He wears underwear all day and night and hasn't had an accident in quite sometime. Every morning after breakfast like clockwork, he will say that he has to poop, I'll put him on the toilet, he says he's scared, plays around while sitting there, and then asks for his diaper to go. 

I've tried prizes that are sitting on the sink that he can't have until he uses the potty, I've tried making him at least sit on the toilet while in his diaper (which he won't do), we've sat together in the bathroom for an hour with me just hoping that he would give up and do it, I've refused to give him a diaper and he will just hold it and then ends up constipated. He is driving me crazyyyyyyy.

So if anyone has ever gone through this, witnessed it, read about it, please give me all of your advice. I've read online that you basically just have to wait until they are ready. I feel like I'm going to be changing diapers forever.

    HHmm. It sounds like he just won't do it until he feels like it. You'll have to find something really good that he can't do until he poops on the potty...a trip? a special occasion? I don't know...there's probably nothing much you can do until he feels like it. Sorry. 
  • Let me talk to my SIL. My neice did that for a long time.
  • It seems to be a more common problem with kids. I think @queensteph is right. It'll take til he is ready. I'm not looking forward to potty training M. Right now, she'll sit, wipe and flush. Just missing that important middle part. Haha

    From what I hear girls are much easier. With A, he trained pretty easy but every time he had to go poop he would completely take off every article of clothing, down to his socks. He did that for like a year before we finally got him to stop. Boys are crazy.

    Lillian takes off her clothes almost every time she poops too- one time she wiped and got her long shirt in it, so now she just gets naked. 
  • I have heard of kids doing this, and it was just until they were finally ready. I have known a couple kids who would only go poop in a diaper, I think it's a control thing. I got lucky with L he was potty trained very quickly, it was all cause of his teachers at school though!!

    Jeff still gets naked to poop. I don't understand it! (he will kill me if he knew I told you)

    What the what?! This is hilarious/totally weird!

    I poop at work all the time, so taking my clothes off would be hard and take too much time.

    Does he only poop at home?

    I think he just takes his shirt off if he's not home.

    I told him this topic came up and he's like please tell me you didn't tell the girls I do that. Of course I didn't baby! Hahaha.
