Today, I put my 3 year old down for her regular nap. About an hour later I wake up from a dream where I was smelling something awful. When I woke up, the smell was still there, so I tracked it down. My daughter had decided to "fingerpaint" with the contents of a dirty diaper. FML

As the OP, I find all of this absolutely hilarious!! To address a few questions/comments: the pull-up was the one she was wearing when she was put to bed - she doesn't wear them any other time. I was monitoring her over the one-way baby monitor we have with the volume on full blast, but the pull-up slides up and down, no noise or anything, so that is how she was able to do her stealth-painting. As for being able to get into other things, we keep all of our chemicals in an upper cabinet, no worries there. Plus, if she'd have actually come out of her room without me hearing her, my dog would have ratted her out in a heartbeat! For the pissy commenters, good for you that you are so better at everything than everyone else, your mother must be proud of how nasty and judgemental she's raised you to be. As for those other parents that understand, thank you for being able to find the humor in this disgusting situation with me. If she was doing this daily, I'd be concerned, but since this has so far been a one time thing, I think boredom and wanting the soiled pull-up off her is what caused her to be so...umm...creative. And btw, she drew dinosaurs, her current fascination. And yes, I did a great job cleaning it up after I finished gagging and smearing vicks vaporub all around my nostrils.

Have you considered potty training? Or are you not willing to allow the baby to grow up?

Wow.........a lot of you either don't have kids and/or need to do your research. My niece is a little over 3 and she still has to wear pull ups. Like many have said, being potty trained is a milestone that the child ultimately has to reach on their own. You can encourage them all you want, but you can't MAKE them use the potty, and if you try, you are only going to discourage them. All of you also need to stop assuming that the OP has not even tried to potty train her daughter yet. Also as someone else pointed out, the FML is the fact that the OP had to clean the poop up.

LOL! Little kids are actually not disgusted by bodily waste. It's common for them to play with it or be fascinated by it.

As an FYI for all the smartasses on here...she is potty trained, but can't hold it while she's asleep and doesn't wake up to use the potty on her own, so she wears pull-ups to nap or go to bed at night. I have older children, so am not clueless as to what will happen. The FML part was the lovely cleanup I had to do for almost an hour. As to napping, with an active 3 year old, when the hell else am I supposed to get some rest?? I have a baby monitor in her room, but when she wants to be quiet, she moves in stealth mode! Oh, the joys of parenthood!! So really...find the humor in it as I did and get off your soapboxes. Let me know when YOU win parent of the year and have the right to criticize someone else's parenting skills!
