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.


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.



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?


Few times a week.

He tell you if he does have a dry night? Will he ever wake up during the night if he has to pee? Mine are heavy sleepers.

If a kid is that anxious that they’re having accidents at home, dont do sleepovers.
And treat the anxiety.

Is this op? Way to bury the lede.

And no, lack of bladder control is not normal or common after age 4. anywhere.

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.


Sure. Keep telling yourself 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.


Is this a specials needs kid school, ok.

Our kids travel sports had hotel overnights since age 9. No one on either team had urination problems at night or during the day. No one wore adult pull-ups to bed either.

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.


Troll

Thx for the laf.

How would you even know? Also would it be such a big deal even if they did? No reason to be judgmental.

Anxiety? It’s usually just that they are such heavy sleepers they don’t wake up.

The kids on my travel team know who the kind kids are. If a kid had this issue they knew yours wasn't the roommate to pick.

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.


How old was the kid? Sometimes even a kid who is normally very good about staying dry will occasionally have a random accident.

My kids love to floss. They watch Tik-Tok videos of kids flossing their teeth.
