What is Bedwetting
Bedwetting (or nocturnal enuresis or sleepwetting) is involuntary urination while asleep. It is the normal state of affairs in infancy, but can be a source of embarrassment when it...

to wear a diaper. Does anyone else refuse to wear one? I just find them to be degrading to me and I already have so many problems, I don't want to wear a diaper and make myself look even more dumb. I am always so ashamed of my hair pulling!
Also, have your parents ever purposely embarrassed you in front of your friends? A few days ago I asked her how I'm a dumbass because she's always calling me one and she said that I am a dumbass because I would leave the peed on blankets on the floor in the hallway and so when she'd step on them they were wet and so apparently that made me a dumbass. She said it right in front of one of my bestfriends and I started to cry and I was sooo embarrassed. I'm not really sure how that makes me a dumbass. Posted on 07/02/09, 12:07 am |

I completely understand where you're coming from about finding diapers to be degrading to you. Although I have used the pull-up kind on a few occasions (mainly for sleeping away from home with people who don't know about my problem, where hiding it would be difficult), I think that's one of the main reasons I've rejected the idea of using them on a regular basis. That, and I wouldn't want my body to become dependent on them, which can happen if you use them all the time.
About your mom embarrassing you -- while I wouldn't necessarily advise you to leave peed on blankets in the hallway where people could step on them (if you even did that!) -- that does NOT make you a "dumbass", and it certainly doesn't give your mom the right to announce it in front of one of your best friends. Sorry to hear you have to go through that. Thankfully my parents were never that bad to me, but I have talked to other people who have had to put up with some awful things (parents spanking them for wetting, diapering them openly in front of younger siblings, etc.) I do remember one time when I was younger, maybe 3rd or 4th grade and had an accident at school (it happened to me every so often then, I just couldn't hold it very long once I had to go)... and one of my teachers decided it would be a good idea to point this out, aloud, to a gym full of about 60 kids, my entire grade. I ran to the bathroom and cried for probably half an hour -- and then I got in trouble for leaving class without permission (I was trying to *discreetly* ask to go to the bathroom when this happened, but never got to the point where she said "yes") and then for not coming back right away. Some people are just ignorant and don't understand or care what it's like to go through this. It does suck but life goes on, I guess. What I've discovered over time is that people who are really your friends, who really care about you (and are worth spending time with) will understand. The rest, you just have to deal with however you can.

That response reminds me of my second grade teacher. She was really bad about not letting kids go to the bathroom if we either just had recess or we had one soon. She felt that you should have gone then or that you can wait. I dont think she could get away with that today. I know my mom called the school and ripped her a new one.
