[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 276171, member: 2287"] [B]Michelle, I'm SO sorry. My difficult child will be 14 this year and we suffer the same thing. He never goes in the toilet, always his pants. We also have tried it all. He's been to lots of doctors, we've done the behavior mods, ignoring, him cleaning himself, etc. He thinks his underwear is "disposable". I can buy him new (dark colors of course) and in a day, they are all stained. I can't even get the smell out with repeated washings. I even followed suggestions like soaking in 20 Mule Team Borax...no deal. It's horrendous and I'm soooo embarrassed to take him ANYWHERE. The odor makes me physically ill. I tell him all the time that he smells like man poop. He has a girlfriend and I thought that would make a difference, but not so. We are about to go on vacation to his elderly grandparents and I'm a wreck over it. How do you hide man poop odor from 85 year olds? We MAKE him sit on the toilet twice a day, that doesn't seem to make a difference. He might go, but he still goes in his pants later in the day. I'm with you, untl THEY want to stop it's not going to happen. We've done it all. I just wanted you to know that I understand.....and it's HORRIBLE. If something finally works, I'll let you know.
