Potty Training Disaster

Poop is that “one word” that moms hate to hear. There are tons of horror stories about parenthood and poop. I’m sure if you think back, you can recall at least one or two of your own poop stories. Here is a story a young mom shared with me about her poop adventure:
My son is turning three this week, but potty training has been quite the journey. He has decided that peeing on the potty is not a big deal, but pooping on the potty is something he will not do. A few nights ago, my husband put our son to bed. My husband had a friend over and I was working late into the night. Here it is going on 10 o’clock and my husband was still not successful in getting our almost three year old to bed.
Finally, I gave up and decided to go check on our son myself. I walk into the room and my son is completely covered in poop. He had decided to poop and try to cover it up. He had taken off his diaper; poop was all over the floor. He had determined he wanted to use his hands to help wipe up the mess. When I walked in it looked as though he had finger painted with poop. He also looked like a warrior because he had taken his hands and wiped his face with it.
I spent a long time cleaning up the entire mess and laughing to myself because if you don’t laugh, you will cry.
Can you share your worst poop story with us? After all, we are all parents on here and it’s good to laugh at each other.
