A Question to Moms

Potty Training again.  We have 1 step left with potty training. Almost got it, except Elijah is now afraid to stinky. He runs and screams when he has to. He has told me that eating makes him poop so he didn't want to eat anymore (except hunger rules) But there are days he will barely eat so he won't have to go. Is this a normal stage??   This has only started in the past week or so. He has been saying that eating makes him poop and he ate too much for about a month, but hasn't come to the point where he says he doesn't  want to eat till Wed.

We are now havinga problem with bathing. He is scared he is going to go down the drain like a piece of soap did. He makes me take everything out of the tub, makes me take my rings off, ect before I even turn on the water. We don't have a stopper since the tun has been broken (still jerry rigged with duct tape). Been like this since May.  Long story there.

Basically we came home from  Mayo with the floor wet and part of the floor buckling.  One of the pipes behind the tub broke and my dad had to cut a huge hole in the tub to replace the pipes.  We bought a new faucet system but couldn't get a tub right then and also don't know how to put one in (I do, but dad has this crazy idea of how to do it that includes busting out the wall in the laundry room and going from behind to push the pipes through).  So dad just hooked up the new pipes and faucet and duct taped them up.  We have to remove the duct tape and redo that every few weeks.
