... Well any ways I was trying to find a way to help her out. So I went online and found this place and started talking to this other parent. She didnt ask if I took her to a doctor or anything. The only thing she said was just put her in a diaper at night. Well I was stupid to take that advise but I did that. I went and bought her some diapers. Just to let you know I have a other daughter she is almost 3 yrs old. We are about to start potty training her. Also I have a son and he is 6 yrs old. Well now I had 2 kids in diapers again. Well right away I showed her how to put it on herself because shes a big girl. It took her a week to get it right and she been doing it for a year now. Well it been a year and like 2 months since she started and been wearing the diapers. There no improvement. She wakes up everymorning in a wet diaper. I realized that I wasnt doing my job by helping her. The diapers were not the answer. So I called our family doctor and gave me some advise and she said that I should try a bed wetting alarm. So I did that and I also got a protective sheet for her bed. Well guess what. She only had one wet morning this week. She been using the alarm since the first of feburary. You should see the smile on her face now. I missed that smile. One thing about her when she wore a diaper at night, she still went to sleepovers at her friends house. She still does wear a diaper to a sleepover which she did go to one last night and she called me this morning and she said, "guess what mom, I was dry this morning." I am so happy for her and her father is too. I love my children and will do anything for them. I feel guilty for not trying harder to help her. Just think if I got the alarm right away. But no I took the advise from a parent from here. I been sitting with my daughter when she goes into the chatrooms here and it just makes me sad. The only thing I saw was kids talking about there diapers and when they ask my daughter if she wears a diaper or what kind. Then she says no i dont wear a diaper. They leave and go to a diffrent room. I dont blame the kids but I do blame the parents of these kids. Diapers are the wrong way to go because when I had a problem when I was a child, I didnt wear a diaper. Well That is all I got to say. To all the parents, please try a diffrent option then diapers.
