My DS has been training since before his 3rd birthday and yet still manages to wet his pants at least once every day.
He has in the past gone maybe 4-5 days in a run without wetting, but then reverted back to being as bad as ever. I don't think he's had a dry day at all in the last month.
The odd thing is he generally doesn't wet during the day (he has been at nursery school since mid-sept and hasn't wet himself once there). My mum picks him up from school and he's normally good for her, until me or my DH come home and he lets it all flow. It MUST be us as the only times he seems to wet when it's not the evening is the weekends when he's at home with us.
It is driving me nuts. I know it's mostly laziness, as he'll wet himself if he's watching some tv prog he likes, or playing with something fun. We've tried every tack, reward charts, ignoring it, being cross, being sad, taking things away/turning off tv, promising treats if he stays dry etc. Nothing seems to work. We try reminding him or saying "you can have that if you go and do a wee wee" when he asks for something, but 50% of the time he will swear blind that he doesn't have to go and 5 mins later he's soaked. I hate being cross with him, but it's hard not to be when he does that. You would be cross with a child his age for doing something else he knew he shouldn't.
When I ask him why he wets his pants he'll say "because i want to" and he's not trying to be cheeky. There's no shame with him when he does it. He knows we don't like it so he'll often hide his pants and trousers under the bed, but it's not like we don't realise as he'll come out wearing pants only. And when he knows that we know, he never looks annoyed by it or guilty.
Has anyone else been through this or have any advice for me?
