Letting children wee in the night yes or no?

[ToWeeornotToWee]

Do you let your children wee during the night? I’m talking school age children who are old enough to hold out till morning.

Imagine the noise of them using the toilet wakes up the grown ups in the house disturbing their sleep.

Does that change your opinion?

Edited by MNHQ to add that there's a bit of a vital update from the OP that should be read before responding later in the thread

How can you stop someone using the toilet in the night?! If they wake and need to go, they go surely

Why on earth would you restrict them from going to the toilet in the night? I cannot fathom it. No need to flush anyway if worried about waking others.

Surely no one would refuse to let anyone use a toilet whenever they need to?!

I don’t understand what you’re asking. There’s no letting my children wee or not wee during the night. If they need a wee they go. Are you actually suggesting that they hold it in until the morning????

Wtf if they need to go then they go

This is mental. Swap going for a pee with dealing with urine infections.

WTF?

Are you for real ? 😳

Is that really a question? Of course they should go for a wee and flush the toilet- leaving it is disgusting

Wtf?

If this is for real, you are a disgrace.

What? I often need to go for a wee in the night. Why would I make children hold it.

…you are extremely unreasonable. Just have a rule not to flush but ffs that’s barbaric to just “not let them”. Water/kidney infections can be awful too

I would. If I need a wee during the night I go. I certainly wouldn’t make young children wait. They’d be really uncomfortable. It’s not good to hold in wee for a long time anyway.

😂😂😂 it would be a bit hypocritical of me considering I normally have to pee in the night. How could you stop them? Why would you want to? Just ask them not to flush?

Why on earth would you stop a child using the toilet when they needed to?

I'm an adult and I've always needed to get up to pee during the night. If someone tried to stop me I'd tell them to fuck off, quite frankly.

It should be no different for children.

I think stopping them having access to the toilet would be dreadful, regardless of who it wakes. I might have a rule about a specific toilet (eg please don't come and use my en-suite in the night as it wakes me, use the main bathroom), but access to a toilet is a basic need that it's abuse to withhold.

I do hope you are a troll because if your not I'd say this was abusive.

I’m assuming this happened to you as a kid. If so, I’m sorry. No, it’s not ok to stop children going to the loo at any time they need to.

Mine go when they need to go. Regardless of noise or time

Surely it's a basic right? To go to the toilet when needed?

WTF.

Batshit crazy 🙄

If your flushing toilet is noisy enough to wake people up, get your plumbing sorted or buy ear plugs!

Are your children cocker spaniels?

Anyone, child or adult, should be able to use the toilet whenever they feel that it would make them more comfortable.
Maybe if you’re a VERY light sleeper ask that they don’t flush for a wee
