Read Sarah Silverman’s book - she was a bedwetter through middle school.

I think it’s funny that you somehow think kids in other countries are immune to this issue.

Very common. One of my son’s wore them until 4th grade. Eventually his body could stay dry.

I think it’s funny that you don’t know what the word “immune” means. And that you don’t understand that cultural differences and access to diapers makes a big difference. Before the advent of disposable diapers, kids were potty trained at an earlier age in the U.S. The convenience of disposable diapers meant that parents did not prioritize potty training.

A helpful hint - don’t take it personally. No one is saying that you are not a good parent because your kid wets the bed. But pretending that there are no external issues that either encourage or discourage potty training is ridiculous.

Kids generally start doing occasional sleepovers and want to work on it. Consider trying it out and maybe walking him to the bathroom around midnight if you are up and see if that helps.

I prioritized potty training and both of my kids were trained before they turned 2-during the day that is. My 12 year old daughter still wets at night occasionally and wet every single night during the school year (weekly or so in the summer) until she was 11. She used to be a ridiculously deep sleeper and has always been a night owl, and I wonder if the accidents let up during the summer because she was able to more closely follow her natural body rhythms. But who knows?

My 10 year old son wets the bed every now and then and sometimes has streaks where he'll do it nightly for a week.

So yeah, I let them wear pull ups at night until they wanted to stop. Washing 1 or 2 sets of sheets, blankets and pjs every single morning just didn't make sense.

My parents beat the sh!t out of me regularly because I could not stay dry at night in the 1980s and into the 1990s. Had zero effect on my ability to stay dry. It has NOTHING to do with encouraging, or not encouraging, potty training. No amount of beating and shaming me into my teen years could "train" me into being dry. It was a medical issue.

But let me tell.you, I remember those beatings. I was a small kid into my early teens, my parents had no worries about being able to fight back. You think I wet the bed because I liked getting the crud beat out of me at 6:30 in the morning day after day? "Stop pissing your bed if you don't wanna get hit!" If only it was so easy.

Ironic, I'm female and struggle into my teens. My brothers (who are otherwise absolute idiots and failures as adults) started staying dry very young. My parents never let me forget that.

I think it's fairly common. My ten year old son wets the bed 4 to 5 nights a week . We have him wear goodnites to minimize the mess I'm sure there's quite a few kids that wet at older ages. Unfortunately that doesn't make it easier to del with our son hates that it happens still .

DP here. That's awful. I'm so sorry that happened to you.

8 year old DD JUST dropped the pullups last week and it was her “idea”. She is a deep sleeper and just wouldn’t wake up to go.

Shes now done 6 nights in a row dry. I would let them initiate the idea at this age and encourage trying.

Reversely my 3 year old DD is already dry at night. So it’s kid dependent

This is tragic. Looking back, do you believe the issue had to do with the abuse?

No don't do it!! If they feel the wetness of having an accident, it helps to train them more properly. The diaper is just a crutch. Don't be lazy, please help them to complete training by allowing them to feel the consequences.

Mine is finally dry at 13, the start of puberty. Wore pull-ups until about 11, and from 11-12, I did so much laundry.

Bc Americans are so lazy, everything is about immediate convenience. They're too lazy to wash sheets or help the child to the bathroom so just keep them in diapers??? WTH

They do. They just don’t talk about it because they know you will judge them.

My kid is 12 and has never had a dry night. Even the prescription pills can’t keep him totally dry all night. You would never know from talking to him - he does his own laundry, is a mother’s helper to neighborhood kids, great grades. Just a deep sleeper who doesn’t make enough of a particular hormone (like his uncle and grandfather). He will eventually.
