[quote=Anonymous]OP is treating a 13 year old like an adult. Zero chance the kid can distinguish between pull-ups and diapers and, of course, a pull-up is a type of diaper. At that age, I thought of diapers as a done by 2 or 3 kind of thing and had no idea they kids wore them overnight long after they didn’t during the day. I had no idea how common it was, in fact, until my friends started having kids. It wasn’t at all a thing in my family though I totally understand it’s super common in other families because of the genetic component. I would guess this girl now thinks your kid wears a diaper all the time at age 5 and that’s what she was actually reacting to.

A kid running around in a diaper or underwear isn’t weird at all. If people think that as a general matter at a kids own house or with friends close enough to overnight with, they’re nuts. I think many people would be embarrassed that a 5 year old was still in diapers and so would specifically conceal them. That’s silly as there’s nothing embarrassing about a gene that makes your urine not concentrate until you’re older. That said, I’m a little surprised you didn’t realize this could be an issue since most 5 year olds don’t wear diapers anymore.[/quote]
