Clothing related issue

[tuesdaysmom]

My 6 year old daughter recently became unbearable when it comes to dressing. She can no longer wear normal underwear. I have bought so many different pairs including boys and still no luck. Every morning is a nightmare. I feel like I am composure. In the past we experienced issues with socks and any thing that got even the slightest bit wet. But this new problem takes the cake. I tried everything and still I can help her. What a terrible feeling.

Please help, I am lost.

Tuesdaysmom,  I think in cases like this,  perspective is everything.  As parents we so often get tripped up over small things and fail to see the big picture.

From your tone, t his is causing you great angst,  "I am lost",  I think there was a misspeak and you intended to say "I feel like I am losing my composure"?  

This isn't brain cancer,  this is a child who doesn't want to wear panties.   I can't tell from your post what specific things about panties irritate her and I hope you can find out and work with this.

I think we've all been there,  where we lose perspective,  and I hope you are able to readjust and get her through this.

Best wishes.

I don't understand the problem... she doesn't want to wear them at all? They irritate her? She doesn't like her clothes being wet or dirty???

I don't know what the question is really but perhaps she has a sensory condition and gets irritated by the clothing.  Perhaps something "down there" is irritated and when her clothing is touching, it bothers her.  
Have you mentioned this to your pediatrician?  Best to rule out any medical reason.

Sounds like sensory integration disorder.
