So, I thought I\u2019d share my feelings on the awful, dreaded poo strike.<\/p>\n<p>My son has been holding his poop for 3 days.<\/p>\n<p>Not because he\u2019s severely constipated or ate something bad. Not because he doesn\u2019t know how to poop in the potty- he did it twice the day before.<\/p>\n<p>This is a sheer battle of wills. Toddler against Mommy.<\/p>\n<p>And he\u2019s WINNING.<\/p>\n<p>I had never heard of this phenomenon before. I thought my kid was just being a little weirdo like toddlers sometimes are (let\u2019s be honest- kids are strange creatures). I mean he\u2019d rather eat boogers than even dare touch a piece of broccoli.<\/p>\n<p>That was until\u00a0I asked on online Mom\u2019s group about the problem, and some of the responses made me literally laugh out loud. One fellow mother exclaimed\u00a0she would rather endure the pain of childbirth all over gain rather than endure the nightmare of the dreaded poo strike.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m right there with her.<\/p>\n<p>Of all the craziness I\u2019ve been through with this little man, this has been one of the absolute worst. Listening to him scream for 2 hours that his stomach hurts, because he\u2019s \u201cholding the poop in my belly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>C\u2019mon kid, push it out and we can get back to our Chuggington and Goldfish crackers. PLEASE!\u00a0I\u2019ve shared my <a href=\"https:\/\/mrsbishop.com\/2016\/04\/5-reasons-potty-training-is-the-absolute-worst.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Potty Training Woes<\/a> before- but this one takes the cake!<\/p>\n<p>Parenting is forever changing, a whole new ball game. Once you think you\u2019ve got this thing down, these kids switch the flip and throw something new at you.<\/p>\n<p>I like to think it keeps me on my toes, keeps me young, and keeps my mind alert. But, honestly I\u2019m noticing more gray hairs and wrinkles every day.<\/p>\n<p>Toddlers of the world- give us Mommy\u2019s a break!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Potty training woes: I wrote this 3 weeks ago&#8230;and we&#8217;re experiencing the same thing, for the third time in a month.
