Current Real-Life Daddy Issues

Posted on 07/01/201804/19/2025 by Mark

So, Niko has started to poop in the big potty.  I don’t mind sitting with him and rubbing his belly all while talking to him while he does his business.  Yes, it stinks; or as Niko says STINKAROOS!  But the clean-up is easy as all he has to do is flush.  One of the best things about this is he has told us when he needs to go; last week it was while he was in the bathtub.

The challenging part is wiping him.  When he finishes, I have to pick him up because I do’t want him walking out on his own; at least not yet.  We wash our hands and I have to be sure my arm doesn’t touch his butt.  I then have to get him to lay down on his stomach somewhere so I can wipe till it’s clean.

His reward the past few times has been an ice cream cone!

Hi, I am Mark. I started writing in 2011 about high school football, daddy blogging since 2015, and reviewing books since 2023. My writing style is unique, my sense of humor is a little crazy, and I’m not embarrassed to share any of it. You can email me at thedadspeaks@icloud.com.
