[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Took my 9 and 5yr old DD to the playground after school yesterday. 9 DD just so happened  to find a friend from school to play with. 5 DD started whining saying it wasn’t fair she didn’t have a friend to play with. I offered to push her on the swings, suggested all sorts of things she could play, and even tried ignoring her whining but she was begging to go home. She then peed her pants on purpose so we would have to leave. I don’t think there’s anyway I can try to coordinate both girls always having a friend at the park, and I also don’t think it’s fair to make both leave just because 1 isn’t having fun. We obviously did have to leave as I didn’t have a change of clothes. What should I have done differently? [/quote]

Not leave the park. She could stand there uncomfortable with a promise of a bath when she got home after her sister was done playing. Urine might not be pleasant but it is not life threatening. [/quote]

If you are certain she peed her pants on purpose, you can’t let that kind of manipulation get her what she wants.

If you don’t like the approach of making her endure the consequences of her actions, don’t take her to the park again without a fresh set of underwear/pants on hand.[/quote]

Agree with everything except the change of clothes. Let her deal with smelling like the pissy 5yo at the park. She will need to try another strategy when disappointed. Maybe learning how to play with rocks and ants alone like we did? Or bringing a book to read? She has to learn.[/quote]

I would have let her sit there in her pissy pants. [/quote]
