Hi -I am a mother of a boy who just truned 8 in March- He too has wet the bed most of the time up to this age-and wore pull ups till about the age of 6(when a 3 yr old rleative saw him and he no longer wanted to wear them anymore-- sometimes he does stay dry and other times no-- if he goes to sleep-not just in bed --car or anywhere-I worry becuz its a deep sleep and its like he has no control-so I have to be careful what situation he is in for embarassment..-I guess the bigger problem we are dealing with now seems to be that I am noticing more--DAY wetting.( most of the days) I have been noticing while doing laundry. NOW I am frequently checking him throughout the day to make sure he is dry--he is usually ok when he gets home from school-but after a few hours outdoors at play--he is wet before bed when he changes his clothes--I have him go to the bathroom after school before play but it doesnt seem to hep.. He also seems to run to the bathroom when its too "late" --I have just decided to start grounding him to his room each time he wets in the daytime- I dont punish for night behavior as he is a deep sleeper for sure--and I believe its accidental-- I have told the doc but he adv-will grow out of.( as you mentioned) --I am worried becuz I do get mad and he must feel lousy becuz I do, but I cant figure out why... Hes very smart at school and gets awards for excellent report cards and gets along well with everyone--hes got good behavior at school and isnt pushy at all--but I tend to think its laziness and so does my husband(whish is his step dad) becuz he doesnt want to stop from playing---He wants to-but cant spend the nite at friends house in case theres an accident at nite and someone may find out-- I have tried the punishin for the day wetting-the guilt trips-etc nothing seems to work-- I feel sometimes he may not care about himself to do this-but he says he does care-and then continues on doing it-- what do you suggest we do--we dont have alot of money for counsel--he has an insurance plan in nys-child health plus--I dont know if it goes above and beyond checkups etc-- I know I have to keep trying becuz I dont want him to be socially afraid and end up with emotional problems becuz of this--and I also dont want him to think I like him being grounded-becuz I do not---I want him to be healthy and happy like any mother--I care alot and its driving me crazy-- do you have suggestions--you can email me at calnyc1@aol.com --anyone else reads this and has info please feel free to also write regarding this problem. thank you!!!!
