Ugh. I am that parent. THAT PARENT whose child is out doing something like shopping and throws up on the department store floor. THAT PARENT whose child is still in diapers at almost 4 years old. THAT PARENT whose child will poop in their pants and have diarrhea spill out on the floor while out for dinner. THAT PARENT who gets a mix of pity and disgust from on lookers. I am so frustrated by this. By having to tell store clerks about it in order too clean it up. But more then anything I am heart broken and angry that Nate is now approaching the age where he is becoming aware of it. That he is beginning to notice the stares and here the comments. What do you do? How do I fix it? We are seeing doctors and trying to find a way to fix it but… what do we do in the mean time? Life is hard enough on a child’s self esteem. How does a child manage through something like this when even adults are a part of the problem? I expect kids to tease but when adults are looking down at the child or pitying them? How do they over come that? I find it so hard and I am not even the one going through it.
Sorry for the venting I am just very frustrated by the lack of bowel control Nate has and by the continuing complications Nate is having with his stomach.
