[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you embarrassed about this?

I have the distinct impression you never gave your kid directions not to do this. If you didn’t give her directions not to do this, how was she supposed to know it wasn’t to be done?

Do not shame her. The onus here is on you. Your kid didn’t pee in a pull-up for some nefarious reason. [/quote]

She never has [b]accidents[/b] during the day.  She [b]could of just got up and went to the bathroom[/b] to go instead of just peeing in her pull up.  She is too old to be wetting herself during the day when she is awake.  I [b]shouldn't have to tell her[/b] not to pee in her pull up when she is wide awake.[/quote]

This wasn't an accident and she didn't "wet herself". She did it intentionally, but not maliciously. You put her in a diaper and didn't tell her that this way of using it is off-limits. If you don't tell her that, how is she supposed to know it? Why "shouldn't you have to tell her"? If she's using pull-ups at 8 (which many kids do), she has been using some form of diaper for her entire life. That is normal to her.

This is not rocket science. The pull-up goes on immediately before bed and not earlier. For now, you can sit your kid down at some other time of day and say: "I need to apologize for how mad I got the other night. I realized that I never told you not to do that. Now I am telling you: the pull-up is not for convenience, it is for when you are asleep. When you are awake, you need to get up and use the toilet. To help remind you, we won't put it on until bedtime."

Thanks.  I just never thought that an 8 year old would pee in a diaper just because she was wearing one.  With that being said, what would stop her from peeing in it after its on and she is already in bed?  I have told her that from now on that it will be going on right before she goes to bed and AFTER she goes potty.  I hope that was a one time occurrance.  But from now on, she will be putting it on right before bed.  She does know that they are pull ups and not diapers although they are a lot more expensive that I remember diapers were geeze.

+1 to the poster saying that anger and toileting skills do not go together. You have to get your freakout under control here.
