Your child isn't ready for sleepovers, which is fine. I didn't even know what you meant by "isn't 100%" until other posters clued me in.

It’s perfectly normal. Happens with lots of kids. No reason not to let them have fun. My brother wasn’t consistently dry until he was almost 11 and he had sleepovers with friends all the time.

If your kid came for a sleepover and peed in bed I wouldn't have them for a sleepover again.

+1. We had a kid ruin our spare bed mattress at a sleepover. I don’t blame the kid/I know they didn’t intentionally pee in the bed. But I think their parent should’ve told us/sent them w a pull up. It’s very difficult to properly and fully clean a mattress that’s been peed on. And yes we had a mattress protector too but it went thru that.

Everyone of my son’s sleepovers has had kids wearing pull ups or a liner pad. He just turned 11. It is not unusual for kids to have accidents through the night. The parents let us know in advance, the kids wear their sleep underwear, we make sure they have a place to dispose of it, all is well. I’d rather they wear something and have fun staying over then not come or not wear something and then deal with a different kids accident.

The last DS held, a few months ago, was the first one were none of the kids were wearing a pull up of some sort.

Most kids I’ve seen aren’t even shy about it. They have no problems with other kids knowing they use them. I think some might actually prefer to have them because it means they don’t have to worry about getting up middle of the night. Honestly I don’t blame them.

This sounds like complete insanity to me - I don't know of any kid above age five wearing a diaper to sleep!

Then you just don't know many kids. The ability to hold urine over night isn't something you can control, unlike day time, where you can try all sorts of things. Over night it's when your body is ready. One of my kids was dry through the night at 18 months, and another still wears a pull up at 6. Nothing physically correct or wrong with either of them, just that everyone is different.

Many do. It’s not that uncommon.

my DS went to a sleepover tonight, he went with 2 sets of blue shorts (pjs) pull-up, and 2 set of underwear just in case and t-shirt and clothes for the next day.
He took his toothbush but, I don't think any 10 year old boy will care about bushing his teeth at a sleepover.

If your kid has accidents and goes on sleepovers, invest in a waterproof sleeping bag. It will come in handy down the road. He will look like a cool big kid for having one, and there will be no risk to furniture.

It's not normal at ES age or something else is going on either medically or parents need to work with them more. Occasional accident, sure, but a regular thing, no.

DD went to one last night. She brought pjs and a toothbrush. We know the family and she doesn’t need a sleeping bag or pillow there otherwise she would have brought that. They never change into regular clothes the next day so she doesn’t bring them anymore.

I always sent my DS with books. He is a very early riser and had instructions to not waken anyone in the house. He would read books until his friend woke up.

Does he wear pull-ups at home? He at all concerned about his friends knowing he has them? Is there any brand that works better than others? I’m sure at age 10 he really needs something that can hold up well if he has an accident.

A question only a #boymom would ask.

No, I know a lot of kids. But fine, everyone is different. And not everyone is ready for a sleepover.

Most kids aren’t going to care much. Why deny them that fun just because of a little problem like this? Let them wear protection if they need it. It’s an easy solution.

Yes, he wears pull-ups at home, well his friend found about it, but the "noise", he sister also wears them, and he didn't tell anyone from school about it. We try buying Goodnites, We try Nighjamies but they wear quick to tear.

So he’s already had sleepovers before with this friend? It’s probably better that his friend already knows about it and he doesn’t have to worry about hiding it anymore. Does he still wet every night or is it only just an occasional accident he has?

To be honest I think if you’re hosting kids for sleepovers, you should anticipate this and have a waterproof mattress pad. Kids do weird things at sleepovers. Like try to hold it all night because they’re afraid to go to an unfamiliar bathroom. It’s sad that your mattress had to be replaced but, stuff happens. If you would really not have this kid over again I think that’s really sad.
