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.

Question for you guys, how do you handle teasing and rude questions from other kids? My boys (7&10) are in diapers at night, recently switched from goodnites but have had this issue a couple times with goodnites as well. Happened again tonight, we are watching a friend of ours son for the weekend while they go out of town. He doesn’t wet the bed and is in underwear at night but when they got out of the bath and seen me diapering the boys he started teasing them saying baby’s wear diapers. I shut that down quick but then later on I heard him saying they were baby’s for wearing diapers. I intervened and had a little talk with the boy, but I’m curious how some of you have handled this......

Well, it depends on how his parents punish him when he misbehaves. Do you know how they do?

We are really close with his parents. Our families spend a lot of time together. They match the punishment to the misbehavior so it just depends on what the misbehavior was.

I think you’d have to talk with his parents and let them punish him.

I try to ignore it. They are kids and adults in diapers is strange for them.

I had this problem when I was about 8 years old.
The other boy got a shock when he got into bed.
Mum had put a rubber sheet on the mattress.
"Just in case" -.no more teasing.....a few tears!

I appreciate the comments. After multiple warnings and a call to his parents still didn’t help, he got to spend the night is diapers as well.

How did he react to that? What did his parents say?

He didn’t really care. Almost seemed like he wanted to. His parents said I should have been harder on him.

This is a tough one. Try to explain to your boys that at least 2 other kids in their class are also bedwetters. Since this is a family secret, you don't know who it is. Diapers make sleeping more comfortable for them. I never wore diapers as a kid, and was soaked head to toe until I stopped wetting for the first time at about 18. My wetting returned a short time later, and I still wet today. All tests were negative. Doctor's said handle it your way. Now it's diapers and plastic pants nightly. BTW, I am 68.

When I was young a group of my friends would tease me calling me diaper head lol I didnt let it get me down. We have to break the stigma of shame by embracing ourselves including our flaws
