Good afternoon. I hope you dont mind me hijacking your forum as I am from the United States and the majority of the forums here have some people that are just plain mean and rude so I thought I would ask here if that's OK.
My stb 8 year old daughter still wets the bed every night without fail and still has times during the day where she will not make it to the bathroom on time. I just don't know what else to do anymore. I have tried waking her, making her go to the bathroom before bed, limited drinks and nothing has worked. If I don't step in and ask her to stop drinking after 7 or having her go potty before bed, she wont do it on her own. She could basically care less that she still has accidents and that is very frustrating. How can I help her stop if she isn't even bothered by the fact that she does it? Pull ups are a joke as she typically pees right through them onto the bed. I hate buying them to begin with because they are a tad bit expensive and they rarely work. I end up washing her sheets weather or not she wears a pull up or not.
My question for everyone here is...what do you use if the pull ups just don't cut it??? And what are some of the things you have tried to help stop the bedwetting?
Also, I am very curious to know if others here are experiencing any daytime issues with their older one? Its not every day but on average she will have a day time accident about 1 or 2 times a week. In my opinion, I feel she is too old to be having accidents during the day.. Her dr can find nothing wrong with her and the only advice she has given us is to put her on a schedule and make her go every hour or so. We have been doing that and I can make her go in and try but I cant actually make her go. She always has an excuse that she doesn't have to go.
Thanks everyone and I am sorry for the long post. I tend to vent when I am frustrated. Have a wonderful day.
