Re: Bed Wetting/My Son

I will say that I enjoyed all the info that was shared on this topic. And, I have to agree that laziness is definitely a contributor to MC bed wetting. However, the laziness is really not "lazy". It is that these kids are in so much pain to get up after being in a stiff position sleeping that they feel life is easier if they wet the bed and have mom and themselves deal with it in the a.m. and not endure the pain at night. As much as it was a chore everyday for over 13 years...I was glad that my son was not in pain in the middle of the night and got a good night sleep stress free. Sleepovers were not an interest to my son so I was lucky to have him home every night or a friend over that he could hide it from. There is medication to stop the wetting but I am really against medication if it is not life threatening so I did not pursue that avenue. Good luck and keep us posted. It is nothing to be embarrassed about. Some kids pee in the bed because they are afraid of the dark. Some kids just have blatter issues that they can't control. Our kids are just in so much pain during the day that they want an evening of peace and rest. Gotta love them...they will go to college and not wet the bed....that I can promise you.
