My youngest son is now 14.
About 2 years ago I started noticing a very strong smell in one of the built-in cupboards in the living room. I cleaned it out, but couldn't get rid of the smell. I eventually identified it as urine. I blamed Jack, our dog.
A few months later I was helping my son pack up his bedroom so we could do a bedroom swap.
I was in the corner under his high bed, when again, the overwhelming smell of urine. This time it was clear it couldn't be Jack, as he wouldn't have been able to access that corner.
I was so shocked, I was utterly speechless. He had bundled up one of the rugs into the corner and had been peeing there. Obviously it soaked through, through the floorboards and into the cupboard.
Fast forward approximately 9 months and I notice a damp patch on the front room ceiling. I went into my son's new room to investigate. At the bottom of his bed was a shallow plastic tub that my son had been peeing in.
This time I was steaming angry and banned him from all devices, including television, for a month.
I noticed that he was using an old 2l coke bottle, until I again, had words.
Yesterday, collecting dishes and glasses from the kids rooms, I found 2 pint glasses, nearly full of pee.
I spoke to our GP about it, when I first discovered the problem.
Our toilet is downstairs.
My son wasnt dry at night until he was about 10 and says that by the time he wakes up, it's too late to get to the toilet, otherwise he will have an accident.
Thank you for reading this far.
Please help, I'm at my wits end.
