Hi,
DS will be 6 in August. He is a lovely boy but fairly lazy and not bothered about doing things for himself. He only started using the potty because nappies weren't allowed in the pre-school room at nursery and only moved from potty to toilet aged 5 because we hid the potty in the garage and forced him into it! He has been in pull ups at night and I have been waiting for him to be dry in the morning or show some sign he wants to be dry at night. But I have recently figured out from things he has said to me that he's just weeing in the pull ups for convenience even when he's wide awake and capable of going to the loo. He does it before he goes to bed and in the morning before he takes them off.
I figure I need to take the pull ups away so that option isn't available to him. Anyone else been in a situation like this? Do you think those bed mats might be a better option? Or do I just need to prepare for a few nights of wet sheets. I wondered about waiting till the school hols or at least only doing it at weekends so he isn't too tired at school.
TIA
