So here's what happened with Ainsley....She's been wetting her pants involuntarily for well over a year. I kept thinking it was an attention thing or a lazy thing so I just kept ignoring it or punishing her or getting mad, etc. We were finally convinced to go see a doctor which revealed that the poor kid couldn't control it (and here I was getting mad at her). The x-rays showed that she has a chronic constipation problems (which we had no clue about as she never said anything about a tummy ache). But I guess it's been so bad for so long that it's desensitized all her abilities to go to the bathroom on her own, she has no signal even going to her brain anymore. So anyway, we're working on problem 1. getting her regular consistently and 2. we basically have to completely re-potty train her.
But today I'm happy because at least they had an answer for us. There was a solution and not just "Your kid is lazy."
So anyway, that's our "medical" problem that we've been dealing with with her. It will take us a few months but we should be able to get her back to normal after that.

s smart, she'll figure it out quickly. Hugs to Ains!
Sorry that both you and her have to deal with that. Poor thing, that has to be hard while in school. Good luck in retraining her.
