[QUOTE="witzend, post: 55853, member: 99"] Oh, my goodness, you have a [i]lot[/i] on your plate! I'm sure it must be overwhelming. I think that perhaps a psychiatrist is a good idea. M was potty trained early, but he kept his pacifier forever. I know he was nearly four years old. They were gross! I finally told him that he was on his last set and I wasn't buying any more. He knew how to count to three, so he knew what was going on. He lost one, then he threw one down a hold that was knocked in a wall by the doorknob. The last one he did the same thing with, but not for a few weeks. There were big tears, but he got over it. I wonder if maybe you can try telling C that he may not be potty trained, but you are. Show him where the baby wipes are, where the diapers are, and that you are not changing his diapers anymore. He's big enough to change his own and put the dirty/wet ones in the trash. Failure to do so means a rashy bottom. Not disposing of them properly means loss of a small priviledge. (desert, a treat, etc.) He can decide that he wants to use pull ups instead, but you're done. I am [i]totally[/i] aware that he might not go for it. But it can't get a heck of a lot worse than what he's pulling now. And I would think that even if it didn't work initially, if you went back to willingly doing it for him, he might decide he didn't like that after all... [/QUOTE]
