He just does not like to use the potty. From what I can tell, itÂ’s just out of laziness. He doesnÂ’t want to quit doing what ever it is he is doing. Thus he ends up with a pair of jeans soaked in urine. ThatÂ’s pretty annoying and itÂ’s not all the time. ItÂ’s the days he does it 2-3 times in a day that it gets really annoying.
Because of his wetting issues, we’ve taken to “reminding” him to go to the bathroom. This usually consists of me saying, “Clone, go upstairs and go to the bathroom, NOW!” Clone is Mr. Independent. He does not like to be told to do anything or have anything done for him. He wants to do it all himself on his own schedule. So when we remind him to go take a piss, he gets upset. There will be crying, pouting and occasionally screaming over having to go to the bathroom.
Yesterday morning I get Clone up and am getting him ready to go. Of course itÂ’s time to do the morning emptying of oneÂ’s bladder. Clone is in the bathroom crying that he doesnÂ’t have to go while heÂ’s pulling his pajamas out of the way.
Me: DonÂ’t forget to pick up the toilet lid
Clone: I donÂ’t have to go potty (pulling off pajama bottoms)
Me: Put up the toilet lid.
Clone: I donÂ’t have to go potty (Pulling off night time pull-up)
Me: You better put that lid up.
Clone: I donÂ’t have to go potty. (Pulling up shirt)
Me: You better notÂ…
Clone: I donÂ’t have to go potty. (As he pees all over the lid to the toilet.)
Me: God DAMMIT! (Cleaning up piss)
Yea, he lived, but only through the graces of all that is good in the world.

Of course, having an accident at preschool might just do that for him...

OK, I still do, 46 years later.
The can is also a little less intimidating than the giant porcelean throne.

One star per potty and so many stars equals oh $5 bucks or something like that.
I give my puppies treats after they go potty outside and it has helped them to remember to go potty outside.

Some may call it bribery. I call it non-painful behavioral modification. Whatever... It's worked for us. :-)
