Dd is 4 very nearly 5. She has never been dry at night. Increasingly I have suspectec that she is capable of it but too lazy/comfortable to get ip and go to the toilet.
She knows to take her nappy off and put it into a nappy bag as soon as she wakes up.
The last two mornings she has got up without waking us and gone downstairs and switched on the tv and sat and watched. Each morning she's then come running upstairs crying because she's wet the sofa. Basically, she hasn't taken off her nappy and she has sat there and deliberately wee'd into her nappy even though she's awake. She even said to me this morning it was because she didn't want to get up off the sofa. I imagine this is why whenever I get her up, she soaking as well.
I've cleaned her up and put her on the naughty step to think about it. But I doubt it will work as I did that yesterday and she's just gone and done it again. It's much worse today, it's soaked through the sofa cushions and it's both sides. So now the sofa is out of action today and I have to wash the covers again and I've got to try and clean the massive cushions.
I've previously tried stopping the nappies at night on the basis that if the consequences of weeing made her uncomfortable she'd stop but all that happened was I tripled my washing and it had no effect.
She's very bright, she understands what she's doing wrong but she is totally blasé about it. How on earth do I get through to her that it needs to stop?
