I have put her back in pullups, mainly for when we are out and at night. The
only thing is she won't even bother even trying to go to the bathroom. She
will just wet in the pull up till it's soaked then ask for a new one. Yet
she won't have a bm in her pants. She will hold it as long as she has to if
we aren't near a restroom .. though she has no problems wetting. I dind't
want to put her in diapers again cause I was afraid it would just basically
give her the signal that she didn't have to try any longer. Am I wrong?

I am at my total wits end. So please for giveme if this rambles a bit.
My
dd is 4 years old and has taken to wetting her pants.. She had quite a
while
where we were doing GREAT we were even having quite a few dry nights ..
so
much that she was wearing panties to bed rather than training pants.
But recently things have taken a drastic change. I have a feeling it's
related to dh going out to sea and ds being born in Dec. I have tried
giving
her more attention, time outs you, loss of prilidges, treating her for
going, you name it.. nothing works it's almost like she doesn't care. I
don't know what else to do.

Example. SHe would go with me to all my pre natal appointments, One in
particular she wet herself on the way there. I changed her, and went in.
As
we were waiting to be called she said she had to go, so we went to the
bathroom an she went. Then while we are in with the doctor, she doesn't
bother even saying anything and proceeds to wet her pants not even 20
mins
after I had just taken her to the bathroom ..

I have had to take to putting her in pull ups when we go run errands or
else
I would have to take numerous changes of clothes; which to her seems to
be
permission just to go ahead and pee since she doesn't feel it. Not that
we
pants seems to bother her too much either.

I have even caught her intentionally pulling down her pants and going on
the
floor just so she wouldn't get in trouble for getting her pants wet. So
I
know she knows when she has to go. Granted our only bathroom is upstairs
but
this is gettiing rediculous.

I have no idea what to do. PLEASE HELP!!

How about putting her back in diapers, and asking her to let you know
when she's ready to wear panties again? Not in a punative or
humiliating way, but just acknowledging that, for whatever reason, she's
decided that using a toilet is too much work right now. Having a 4 yo
in diapers is not unheard of.

Yes, this is undoubtedly related to the current turmoil in her life.
