Thank you so much for that note midwest mom.I have seen many parents who are in denial of their childrens issues. I feel and have always felt that it is a disservice to my child and not helping anything. SO much of the time I feel like the biggest failure in the world, especially since I am a preschool teacher. Todays latest incident doesnt help. You know when the poop is flying in the room it is a bad day. I have to make myself laugh at all of this sometimes because it gets so depressing. I am deperatly trying to figure out a way to change his diaper and get him dressed without the wresteling match and without getting beaten. The new plan is this: I take the battle out of it. Instead of going in and changing and getting dressed we will go downstairs eat.. and hopefully he will eventually let me change him (Optomistic thinking here!) or he goes to shcool as is and they have agreed to help out in this area. I guess as he was thrashing me and his poopy diaper was flung in the air I thought, I really cant do this anymore, I get to frusterated and angry because the entire changing/getting dressed process should take no more than 5 minutes. I changed diapers for a profession I should be able to handle this... Tomorrow is another day tomorrow is another day.....

[QUOTE="Dara, post: 30865, member: 3572"] Thank you so much for that note midwest mom.I have seen many parents who are in denial of their childrens issues. I feel and have always felt that it is a disservice to my child and not helping anything. SO much of the time I feel like the biggest failure in the world, especially since I am a preschool teacher. Todays latest incident doesnt help. You know when the poop is flying in the room it is a bad day. I have to make myself laugh at all of this sometimes because it gets so depressing. I am deperatly trying to figure out a way to change his diaper and get him dressed without the wresteling match and without getting beaten. The new plan is this: I take the battle out of it. Instead of going in and changing and getting dressed we will go downstairs eat.. and hopefully he will eventually let me change him (Optomistic thinking here!) or he goes to shcool as is and they have agreed to help out in this area.
