[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone ever have suggestions for handling sleepovers with kids who still have accidents at night?[/quote]

DS wore a pull up to his first few sleep overs, as did a few of the other kids. He had friends over a few weeks back who used pull ups, they are 10. Some kids are late to being able to sleep dry. It is not a big deal. The kids changed quietly in the bathroom and threw away the used pull ups. No one said anything. But part of that is the kids being ok staying at a kids home wearing pull ups.[/quote]

Did the boys all know about the pull-ups? It seems like kids these days are a lot more accepting of that. My son has a friend who wears them and he isn’t at all shy about it.[/quote]

Yes, they threw them away in the bathroom. No one cared. I remember my child's first sleep over, he was 8, I was worried about the pull up situation. He was in no way dry every night, maybe half the time. I talked with the Mom to see how she felt about it and the Mom told me that 1) her kid was not always dry through the night and 2) several of the other parents has asked. It turned out that all of the kids still had nights were they had accidents.

DS is dry through the night now and we don't ask the parents and the parents don't tell us, we simply see the disposable underwear in the bathroom. No one cares. The kids change in private (bathroom or a closed bedroom) so no one sees them putting it on and they wear something over it. They take them off in private. It is not a big deal. DS is 10 now and has some friends who are 11. [/quote]

I’m sure the pull-ups have to be somewhat noticeable even underneath pajamas. Did your son care if anyone ever called it a diaper?[/quote]

DS did not tell me that anyone called it a diaper. I doubt anyone said anything since 4 of the 5 kids at his first sleepover were wearing pull-ups. He did not say anything to his friends at their most recent sleep over. Perhaps he has friends who don't care or don't see the need to make fun of a friend for needing sleeping underwear?

Did you host the sleepover or was it at someone else’s house? Was he at all surprised that so many other kids are in the same situation?[/quote]
