Hi moms,


So my daughter wets the bed, no big deal. If bean there with her older sister and im dealing with it with her younger sister.


The thing that is bothering me is her lack of caring, I mean she doesn’t care at all that she is stil in a night nappy. Her older sister cared a lot at that age and even her youngest sister is getting to that stage. But my 9 year old isn’t.


If I don’t tell her to go change she will just parade around the house in just her wet nappy in the mornings, and I suspect she is sometimes even using it out of laziness.

Even all het friends know it, she just doesn’t care.


And don’t get me wrong I love it that she is not ashamed cause she shouldn’t be, but a little bit of work from her site to quite would be lovely. It feels like im the only one of the to of use thats working towards dry nights.


The fact that she is wetting on purpose is something I really don’t like and do not accept. But I cannot prove she is doing it.


Are there more moms her that deal with children wetting on purpose, and how did you deal with it?

And how can I make her more motivated to work on getting dry.

Hi Linda


Have you spoken to your local school nurse about your daughters bed wetting to help explore both medical and behavioural reasons for this? If not, you can make contact with them and depending on the services they offer they may be able to offer bladder support services directly or refer you on.


You may also find Bedwetting – reasons and how to stop it - ERIC supportive as ERIC are a children's bladder & bowel charity.


I hope in the meantime others will come and share their experience and advice whilst you seek support if you wish to from your local school nurse team and/or ERIC.


All the best


Emma
