Why does my 9 yr old step-son?

Question

still p**p his pants?? It is when he is outside playing with friends. I think he is having too much fun doesn't want to come inside to use the bathroom?? We always make him rinse his underwear out in the toilet (clean water of course) after he does this, so he knows that he will have to clean up the mess!!

Answer 1

Maybe he is having a phase...

Answer 2

Maybe he just forgets to go to the bathroom. If it continues I would go to a doctor and ask.

Answer 3

to the girl that said he might have a bladder problem.  That's stupid.  Bladder is pee, not poo.

Answer 4

I would tell his doctor and talk to him about it. Ask your son why he dopes this and if he can stop. I hope this helped!

Answer 5

talk to your doctor. but he does NOT have a bladder problem, bladder is pee! and if he DID have a bladder problem, its not "ewwww double ewww" it owuld be a serious medical condition

Answer 6

O.K how long have you and his father been married? Does he do it when he is with his mom?

Did he do it before his parents got divorced or remarried?

   i am not trying to pry but my parent's divorce and remarriage when I was 10 had some very adverse effects on me i began wetting the bed, became very accident prone, and began to sleep walk. (only at my dad's house) my parents took me to a therapist and we discovered that my father's remarriage to a woman who had children had made me feel like i was being replaced and the things i was doing was a child trying to get daddy's attention(subconscious level)

Answer 7

Yes, maybe because he is too busy having fun that he doesn't want to come inside. If that is the case, take away his outside use until he can go to the bathroom inside while having fun. It may be a phase or maybe because he feels he needs attention from you and his father. Then again, he may have a health problem so you might want to get it checked out.

Answer 8

A gril at my son's daycare does this and she can't tell when she's pooping!! I thought that was weird but they have to remind her to go and sit on the toilet thruout the day.  She is being treated by a Doctor.

Answer 9

he's just trying to be funny

Answer 10

well boys that do this at 9 have some emotional problems going on. Maybe you and your husband are not very nice to him?? (cleaning it out in the toilet is cruel) does his father spend one on one time with him without you??? do you have other children with his dad??? How about his mom does she give extra attention to him? it sounds to me that the boy is having some kind of a problem. Doe he do this at his moms house? If not then it is a dad house thing. he might feel out of place to be at your house. how are you treating him? do you treat him like you own? or do you leave him out and get annoyed by him. Children at this age do not just p**p their pants there is something else going on. And the toilet thing that has to stop right away! Just tell him it is OK and be very gentle and help him clean it up. Do not yell at him and make him clean it in the toilet. he is so nervous he probally doesn't know what to do around you!

Answer 11

definetly go to the doctor

Answer 12

EWWW DOUBLE EWWWW!! Mayb he has some bladder problem u shud ask a doctor

Answer 13

By that age it is not because they are too busy. The embarrasment from doing it in front of his friends would over ride that. Get him checked by the doc

Answer 14

probably just a phase,

when Iwas 6 I lived over the wetting the bed stage, but it went away after like 3 months.

take hm to a doctor,

they helped my paretns find out why I wet the bed,

apparently i wanted a change in bed and I wanted to sleep in the spare room,

Its different,

but sill sorta the same,

ask a doctor
