[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happened to me into my teens OP. I just would not wake with pee urgency. It became more occasional as I got older because my bladder capacity was larger. But it wasn't until 14 or 15 that I fully stopped having nighttime accidents.

You are likely making it worse by making a big deal of it. I had such shame around it and it definitely made it worse because I would try to hide it.[/quote]
I was 15 when it completely stopped and got so much shame. It actually runs in my father’s side of the family and many of the girls have bladders that don’t grow as fast as the rest of them.[/quote]

I was also well into my teens and still struggling. I'll never forgot the absolute disgust in my mother's voice one morning when she snarled "Don't come crying to me when you wet your bed on your wedding night."

Eventually I outgrew it. But the shame and cruelty I endured during my childhood over something I had absolutely no control over still hurts.

My son is 7 and still wets every night. Thank goodness for pull ups. We did a pediatric urology consult, and they reassured us that this is [i]normal[/i]. There's no need to intervene with medication or bed wetting alarms. He will.outgrow it, just as I and millions of other people have. Patience is hard, but patience is what is needed right now.[/quote]
I’m so sorry! I am glad we can do better for our kids. I did receive an apology in adulthood but those memories are still painful.[/quote]
