Some children cannot be potty trained at age 3, its not always the child's fault, things like heredity and other factors can contribute to a child not being able to fully control their bladder at that age. I would recommend getting your family doctors advice before punishing the child further. Most children of that age throw temper tantrums from time to time. and each child responds differently to the punsihment., Most likely she will outgrow both the bossiness and the problem with pottytraining.. Have patients, and hang in there, and to those who are giving you trouble about her not being potty trained...tell them to raise their own and you will raise yours. hope this helps


I need to know what to do about my husband and daughter. My 5yr old daughter dont talk and avoids my husband.. My husband tells me he loves her but thinks she is a brat. He told me i should think bout puttin her in counciling. I told him he should go with her..because the problem is both of them..My husband refuses to make the 1st move, like talking 1st or asking her to come sit with him.. He says he aint letting a 5yr old run his life.. he tells her more when she does something wrong then praise her. She has her moments of not listening..she gets punished.. he says shes too far up my butt..however i am a very affectionate mother..both of my girls are always over me..this is affecting our marriage. he says he dont know whats going to happen if she dont change.. she is my world as my other daughter is..the only difference is ..she isnt biologically his..she comes from my previous marriage..but her real father took off after she was 3. he is always holding, loving on and playing with my 1 1/2 yr old, and looks right by her.. what should i do? am i going to have to make a choice between her and my husband? how can i fix this? Please help.. (link)
Could it be that you are afraid of your husband? It seems that your daughter is terrified of him. You need to stand up for her, since she is too young to defend herself, and growing up in fear will leave her messed up and confused, if she doesn't commit suicide in a few years.

There are a couple of things you can do do help this situation......

If you love your children, tell your husband to get over it or get out or

Take your children and leave. or

Make him go to counseling or a psycologist would be better, cause he definitely has issues.

And if you are scared, there are people, and government officials who can help. Don't let anyone bully you and your children.
