Linda-Rose`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll Ive just started having this problem with my 2 an a half year old daughter, and dont know wot to do.... She used to luv bathtime so much and could spend ages in thier. Then all of a sudden she wouldnt sit near the plug and would only last a few minutes before freaking out and me having to get her out, now ill put her in the water an she panics almost straight away an i have to wash her standing outside the bath.. she is totally terrified of bath an now even shower, I have run outta ideas to get her back in, Bubble bath, new toys etc,, has any1 else had this problem, an how did you manage to get ur child back in the bath?? any ideas would b appreciated..

Wow, my daughter is going through the same thing, she flips out if you take the plug out while she is in too. I asked her why she was doing this and she said it was because of the spider. I asked what spider? She said the one in Granny`s bathroom.

im having the same problem.. the only way it works for us is for me to get in with him but he still barely stays in long enough for me to get him clean. or we have a detachable shower head and if i let him hold it while i wash him, hes fine. good luck!

I agree with Candace ~ once they see that scrubbing bubbles commercial and see the bubbles go down the drain they are afraid they will too ((())) I would cover the drain fully so she cant see it with the long bath mat and even if you have tothe first few times get in with her :)

Put the baby bathtub in the tub or cover the drain with something large. You could try getting a new tubtoy character whose job is yo guard the drain- play it up like a puppet.

Have you tried getting into the bath tub with her?? Showing her everything is ok, because mommy is there too? Maybe one time she accidently hurt herself in the tub and associates that pain with bathtime now. ::shrug:: I`d get right in with her and see if that works. Best of luck.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
