[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t think my DD would ever be trained. She was 4 when her preschool teacher advised us to make her start cleaning up the mess.  It was amazing how quickly things changed after that. [/quote]

+1 You need using the toilet to be the easy option for him.  Even if he doesn't do a great job, you need to have a stack of towels ready so he can blot it up, help you get out the rug cleaner, etc.[/quote]

+2 you need to put this back on him and make him clean up his messes.

And, unfortunately, you need to supervise him and probably contained (meaning no upstairs unless it’s bedtime, block off or lock other rooms/basement). I’d treat it like I treated my puppy - access and freedom are earned with good behavior). No rugs in the rooms he’s allowed in. [/quote]

op here. I think he has fun cleaning up messes. I will still have him do it but I don't think that will be enough. [/quote]

Oh man OP, I fully sympathize with you, but I laughed so hard at this. Kids!!
I have multiple boys and while I’ve never had a chronic problem with this, 2 out of my 3 went through a very short stage at this age where they randomly peed on the carpet, or sprayed the nice fabric couch(!), etc. those 2 are neurotypical and happy/healthy.  But yes, I put the fear of God into them for doing it at the time. Sometimes you just have to pretend you’re more angry than you actually are.   [/quote]

I wouldn’t need to pretend. It’s completely disgusting.[/quote]
