I am exhausted

I have nothing to show for all of my exhaustion.
The baby has learned that a small cry or whine will not get her the attention she wants. So for the past two or three days she ramps it all the way up to the red faced, top of her lungs, "someone's killin' me scream" for things like being laid down or being left alone in a room.
All the while the three year old is refusing to poop again. It doesn't make any sense to me but he will do whatever it takes not to use the bathroom. After somehow managing to pee on every stitch of clothing he was wearing while sitting on his potty, then he spent the next 30 minutes crying on the toilet that he couldn't go. He is so strong willed! No bribe would work. I have finally put him to bed. Kayelynn cried herself to sleep while I was messing with Trey. Now I am sitting in my rocking chair surrounded by toys of all kinds and laundry that needs folded. I feel like a vegetable and hope we all wake up tomorrow with brighter outlooks on life.

Oh Honey,
Been there, done that and was going to nursing school at the same time. Miralax is the best thing ever. Slip some in his OJ or drink in the morning and he will feel the urge and it will be easier for him to go. No loosey goosey or anything just easier delivery. As far as your little girl welcome to Second child syndrome. My Hannah is still demanding the attention and has her special ways of getting them. Drew has recoginized this and is just louder at getting his attention. He is now 5'10" and it is also hard to ignore him, or Hannah for that matter. Good luck and miss you terribly.

Marcy- we do use Miralax. All of these poo stories involve miralax usage. This may be TMI but our problem is him fighting to hold it all in. After 4 or 5 days it starts coming out on its own. That's when the fights over sitting on the potty begin. Ughh
