[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here again. Seriously, y'all, I TOTALLY get what you're saying. That's why we took her (with dad and mom) to a therapist.  I thought the same thing. I thought she must be struggling with real adjustment issues. She did a year of play therapy. No issues, allegedly. Therapist said she shouldn't come anymore!

She's an extremely out-going, well-liked, happy go lucky kid. Who has a ton of friends. Who gets nearly perfect grades. She's actually one of the more popular girls in school.  She's incredibly pretty, which is I think actually holding her back a little. I feel like people want to be her friend because of it and NO ONE seems to be bothered about pee and poo and UTIs but me.

I love her dearly. But I don't love the streaky underwear. She and I are very close and she definitely looks up to me as a parent and I feel like I'm failing her since she's not learning/understanding why this stuff is important.

By the way... Dad's not checked out on ANYTHING else. The two of them are extremely close and loving. And his hygiene is immaculate.  He just also seems to think this is just some normal kid thing she will sometime outgrow.

This is a bizarre situation.  Second opinion from a new therapist and follow up on the encopresis idea.  She has friends now, but that will change soon if she doesn't get this under control.[/quote]
