Bedwetting Support Group
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 persists into school age or the teen or adult years. Find others who are coping with a bedwetting problem and share your experiences and questions.
My 10 year old nor 8 year old daughters has never been been dry at night. To say the least I've been frustrated, but it is what it is. I will always love my girls no matter what, but as of late there has been a rift in our household. At night my girls both wear protection, my 8 year old is in pullups and my 10 year old is in goodnites and durring the day they both wear regular big girl undies unless we are on a trip or its a day where bathrooms might not be readily available. Well about 2 weeks ago my sister came over to watch the kids for a few days, which isn't a big deal and she has a 3 year old boy still going through potty training and a 6 year old girl that is also a bedwetter so she doesn't mind helping the girls with their protection and what not.
What the problem was is the fact that she uses pampers for her daughter and son's bed wetting. Which is fine but when my youngest ran out of pullups and she put her in pampers those last two nights it for whatever reason spurred my youngest to prefer pampers diapers over her pullups. Not a huge deal I suppose but now shes wanted to wear them in the day too... it has gotten to the point where shes started trying to sneak wearing them after school and even once before school. I just don't know what to do, I try to get her to be a big girl but she seems to be more interested in getting diapers on than anything else. I could really use some help here. Thanks
Your sister should have went to the store and bought pull-ups for your daughter instead of putting her in diapers. But she Probabley thought it would be no big deal for a couple of days.
Since you always use pull-ups vs diapers how is your daughter still trying to sneak wearing during the day at home? Have you talked to your daughter about this? It could be a faze she is going thru, and hope she will out grow it. You just have to be there for her, and help her thru this.
If she's trying to sneak them I assume she's able to put them on herself - what's your reaction been when you've found out. And how did she react the first time when your sister suggested it?
Also, why do you still have pampers at home? Could you put them away someplace and only have pull-ups for her?
