I need some advice and help! My 10 year old son has been potty trained since he was 3 1/2. Within the last 6 months I have noticed that in his bedroom there was poop smeared on the floor and his closet smelled like pee. His dresser is near his closet and the wood started to bubble on the side. I asked my son if he peed in his closet. He blamed it on our dog. Our dog is a female and she’s a small dog so there’s no way she would be hiking her leg to pee on his dresser. I confronted him about the poop smeared on his carpet and he blamed it on the dog again. One evening I saw the poop smears again and demanded he show me his fingers. He had poop around his fingernails and his hand wreaked of poop! I was so disgusted! I made him clean it up but he still insisted it was our dog!! Last night my son slept on the couch. He thought I was upstairs in bed for the night but I had forgotten my phone charger so I went back downstairs. I see him in the living room standing in front of the TV and I heard what sounded like water running. I ran in the living room and sure enough, he was peeing on my carpet! I was so beside myself that I wasn’t sure what to say. I said “are you seriously peeing on my floor!?!?” He let out this awkward laugh and when he saw how mad I was he ran to the kitchen and sat on the floor with his shirt pulled over his face. I explained to him how gross that was and how upset I was with him. The worst part about this is that our bathroom is approximately 10 feet from where he was standing! I asked him if this whole time I was thinking the dog peed on the floor, if it was really him. He wouldn’t answer me. I am so upset/mad/disgusted, I don’t know what to do. He’s a straight A student, has a lot of friends and is very active in sports. I can’t think of anything that would cause him to want to do this. Please help!
