[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do a search. Lots of parents here have kids in nighttime diapers. The older generation think it’s odd, but kids are progressively getting daytime trained and nighttime trained later and later these days. I’m sure a poster will come along and say how it’s normal and not a big deal. And it is normal - here in the U.S.  It’s not normal in many other countries. [/quote]

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

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.

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 [b]NOTHING[/b] 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.[/quote]
