I have 3 disabled boys how are 3,6,and 7, I am the main caretaker. I am with them all day everyday. My husbands works to support us and works over nights. All my sons have a list of problem ranging from Developmental delay, speech delayed, to brain defects( most of which doesn't cause any delays) and ADD/ADHD. I have been fighting an ongoing battle to potty train my 6 and 3 year old. Both who know where to go potty and how to use it. My 7 year old who has the worst delays potty trained in one week. But I cant get the other 2 to do it. I have tried everything the pediatrician says it is all behavioral (with the 6 year) and the 3 year old is just stubborn. The 3 year old will sit on the potty for 10 to 15 mins than get off and pee on the floor. My 6 year old will go pee in the potty when told to but not otherwise. My three year old will start crying as soon as he pees on himself because he knows its a no-no. They both will tell me when they poop are pee on themselves and ask to be changed (When in a pullup) They will also go and get a new diaper baby wipes and a bag to put it in. They sometimes even play with their poop and will poop in the bathtub. Along with everything else I am going through with them, I don't think I can do anymore. I feel like the worst parent when I yell at them or punish them. I have to admit that I do let them get away with a lot of stuff because of what is wrong with them.
I use to have a break from them when my mom lived close by but she moved 5 hrs away and now it is only me and my husband. I don't think he understands the stress and the pain I go through to make it through some days. As my boys have seen almost every kind of doctor there is. WHAT AM I TO DO???? I love them very much and I fight for them!!!!!
