I need your opinion or thoughts. I have a 4 yr old dcb, have had him since he was 3 1/2. When I started with him his parents said that he goes pee in the potty, but for some reason will ask and want to go poop in a diaper and they told me to put a diaper on him ( he wears regular underwear here) when he says he has to go poop. I thankfully have not had to do that here as he has not had to go poop here until this afternoon. I guess his parents say that he will hold it until night and then they put a diaper on him and then he goes poop in the diaper. I guess he holds it sometimes so long that he has gotten constipated and they have asked the Dr about it and the Dr said it is okay to keep doing the diaper thing and he will decide to go poop on his own on the potty. Now this dcb goes to preschool in the morning and comes here in the afternoon and they have to be potty trained to go, which he is for the pee part.
So this afternoon he said"put a diaper on me so I can go poop" I said NO, go on the potty, your 4 yrs old and need to go on the potty. Well, he kept trying to hold it and kept telling me to put a diaper on him so he could poop, which I did not as he is too old for a diaper to poop in. He has to learn to go on the potty! Well, I told Mom that when she picked him up and she said to put a diaper on him so he could poop. Sorry, he is 4 yrs old and needs to go on the toilet, so I didn't tell her no as she left in a hurry today as they had something going tonight, but would you do this ? I refuse to put a diaper on a 4 yr old child so they can poop,especially as he is in regular underwear. Am I wrong,or does this sound like parents that just will not make him understand that he HAS to go in the potty?
