the problem with boys....

[chefdave]

So we have Elliott at the doctor for his 3 month check up or something like that, and casually the nurse asks if we've ever been peed on yet. At that point we had maybe once or twice, but overall it wasn't a big problem. So we get him out for his weight check and we take off his diaper and the nurse plops him on the scale, and BANG......pee everywhere!!! All over the nurse, all over the scale, all over the wall (luckily not so much on me or my wife). I think he even managed to get some on the ceiling. We thought it was funny and gross and mortifying, but the nurse just shrugged it off...said it was a frequent occurance.

Rather than getting peed on, my diaper changing peril was my knack for deciding that it was time to change him while he was mid-poop.

Yeah, with three boys, we had this problem regularly as well. And our oldest has health problems, so an even harder time controlling himself. But I'd have to say that the thing that gets me most is our little one. Quinn has the most horrible habit of spitting up. But I don't mean on just anyone after he eats, its only to me. Doesn't matter how long its been since he ate, how many times he's burped (he has chronic gas, gets it from his mother) or anything else, he just likes to save it up until I put on a clean shirt, then he feels its his place to break it in properly and proceeds to regurgitate his latest meal onto me and just looks and smiles with the drool dribbling off his chin. My wife finds this absolutely hilarious. Nothing seems to affect it, just likes to spit up on Daddy. Guess that's what I'm here for. :D Hehe, kids, what can you do but love them?

I have 2 girls and they both seem very easy to deal with. I heard that with girls the problems come later.... teenage years, etc...

My son is 3 and he is just harder to deal with. He peed on me a few times and he still is not potty trained. He just can't seem to focus on anything long enough. He is free spirited and has no desire to stop crapping in his diaper.

He has gone on the toilet before and so I know he knows how but if I initiate it he will sit for an hour on the toilet and he gets distracted real easily and forgets why he is sitting there to begin with. Then he says he is done and I put a diaper on him and within 10 minutes he craps in it.

Ugh! :roll:

I feel your pain, my oldest was not the easiest to potty train even though he actually started using th epotty, at jus tover 1 year, well at least he would hit it every few days :)

My youngest son peed on EVERYONE when he was first born. When he came out the OB pulled him out and held him up and squirt. She then passed him of to the delivery nurse, squirt. The delivery nurse cleaned him up and passed him off to the nursery nurse, squirt. After that he was the talk of the labor and delivery ward. Later in the day the nurse came in the room and took him for something or other and when they got back she said "Heres your whiz kid, he got another one." Two days later in the Peds office he was going for his circumcision he got the doc and two more nurses.

I find my son does this more to me than my wife. A few weeks ago I was changing my son at the mall and he sprang a leak while the diaper was off and my shirt was soaked. The guy washing his hands at the sink looked mortified and freaked out when he saw this. I thought it was funny!

My son now has a terrible habit of being able to get his diaper off while in his crib. Some major messes to clean up lately. :shock:

I encountered this on my first diaper change. In the hospital, on the day he was born, I went to change his diaper and there came the gieser right at my face. I moved just in time for the fountain of pee to hit my shoulder. My wife laughed. It was a blessing because she needed a laugh at that time. Nicholaus (now 6yrs.) recently became angry that I would not let him use Mommy and Daddy's bathroom (nothing new) so when he went to his bathroom he sprayed the floor. When I found the mess I asked him if he peed on the floor or if the cat did it. He said "I don't like my bathroom so I did that". I found it entertaining that he would use the power of pee to express his anger and dislike. It was almost refreshing that he admitted it as if he had no guilty feelings and had no problem telling me what he did and why he did it. I educated him why he shouldn't do this and we cleaned it up together. When my wife got home Nicholaus and I told her the story. Nicholaus said "It looks like a girls bathroom" (My wife decorated it). I asked my son if he would like to paint some cartoon characters on the wall to make it more like his bathroom. My wife interrupted with "that is the guest bathroom". Nicholaus quickly said "But only for the girls"
