PTSD

It's official, Sophie is completely traumatized from the whole poop-in-the-tub incident. She now refuses to take a bath with Noah and when I physically forced her to do so, she screamed her head off and watched Noah's bottom the whole time she was in there. I thought I could convince her Noah would never do it again (a flat-out lie on my part), but she didn't buy any of it and cannot handle sharing a tub with a potential tub pooper. So, my days of easy baths are over. It's back to separate baths and lots of me getting soaking wet in the process.

Sophie, I am with you on this one sister. No princess should have to take her bath wondering if she is going to be pooped on by her brother.

Sorry Cheryl, I am with Sophie on this one as well. I know you were watching him like a hawk as well...see she is way ahead of the curve on that one.

I sure don't blame you Sophie. A princess should have her own bath anyway.

Alright, as the token shrink, I have to correct you.......until it's been over 6 months, it's only Acute Stress Disorder. On the other hand, as a grown women who had been traumatized by bathtub pooping myself, I feel Sophie's pain. Please Cheryl, have a heart and don't force this poor child to bath in tainted waters. She may grow up with severe anxiety disorders if you force the issue.......good thing you have a shrink on-call at all times.......lol
