Nobody Tell Her I Told You This, Okay?

That's right. You heard me.

It probably won’t be the last time those words come out of her mouth.
I would so do that with Mason if I could get away with it.
I had the same problem!! I’ve tried night training my daughter a million times. Finally about two months ago I did a bunch of internet research and read some obscure comment on a blog that resonated with me. The lady said she had to increase the amount of water her daughter drank throughout the day. Previously her daughter never felt the sensation of having a very full bladder and having to ‘hold it’, so to speak.
Once she increased her daughter’s water supply, the girl’s bladder control improved and she was better able to sleep throughout the night.
I tried it, it worked. After about 2-3 weeks, my daughter is officially sleeping through the night DRY! Good luck!
i used to wet the bed, occasionally. stopped by 4th grade. also? my scout cam home from a baseball game last night at 10:30, took off her jeans & underpants and climbed in bed. we, apparently, didn’t think much of it, either.
I utter those words all the time. Seriously.
And we deal with the bed wetting thing in spurts. My 4 yr old daughter does great for weeks at a time and then has about 5 nights in a row where it’s nothing but accidents. I have no clue why it happens this way, but I get so tired of doing the extra laundry.
We’ve been going through the gnashing of teeth too, and I’m to the point where I’m thinking, How bad would it really be if he went to college wearing diapers?
That is too cute. What, but girls are so easy to train
We finally managed to get rid of nighttime pull-ups at about 6 years old. Our ped told us there is an enzyme which kids need to be able to get up to go, and some kids get it later than others. Of course my mom never believed that. Mine now gets up nearly every night, pees, changes his jammies cuz he got a little on them, then crawls into our bed. Hmmm…guess that’s better.
But if the sheets were dry then it was worth the wet jammy bottoms, right?
I late LOL, but I was seriously laughing out loud when I read that last line. I’ll bet your daughter is a hoot.
PS – My husband says that same thing all the time. He doesn’t mean the same thing though.
Peeing while walking but asleep – apparently not just for girls. Once when my son fell asleep on the couch I woke him up to take him to bed (really, I know it seems silly) and said, “Go to the bathroom first.” I started walking the 10 feet to the bathroom, turned around and found he wasn’t behind me, but then heard peeing. I raced into the kitchen and he was calmly peeing into the trash can. When I yelled (probably something like “Stop!” but maybe a bad word) he started, looked at me blankly, and said, “What?”
Happily, he had good aim, so all I had to do after he went to bed was take out the trash.
Oh that’s too funny. And my husband also likes to to use the ‘no pants’ line though it doesn’t work on me!
My daughter just became day-timed trained (3 y.o.) – I don’t have the strength to tackle night time yet. So overnight pull ups it will be.
Worst case scenario? Send her to college with a lifetime supply of Depends. I hear they look like underwear now….
my mom and I, with the help of the doctor, blamed this on my small bladder. my 3.5 year old nephew on the other hand, can go 9 hours without peeing. horse bladder on that kid. it drives my SIL crazy.
so, blame it on blader size. worked for me!
Ha! Sometimes I’m close to doing that when I have to get up in the middle of the night. (Which, BTW, I never used to have to do. Stupid old lady bladder!)
My nephew was like that. He went the bed all the time because he slept so hard. He would pee right through the pull up and not even notice. But he grew out of it. But I still plan to tell all his future girlfriends this.
“I should warn you. I’m not wearing any pants.”
That’s how my husband likes to wake me up in the morning too.
Max is such a little weirdo. He was seriously 4 and change before he was potty-trained enough for us to let him go without a pullup during the day. But once he was potty-trained, he was potty-trained. He didn’t use them at night, even, which totally threw me. But he refused to wear them, and we told him as long as he stayed dry he didn’t have to.
My 5 yo totally sleep-pees – we were just visiting my dad in Tampa (yes, I honked at CHS) and I found her in the bathroom at 2 am, sound asleep but peeing. I steered her back to bed and in the morning? She remembered nothing!
If I thought it would fit her I’d send you the shirt Ada used to wear that says “NO PANTS!”
My son was bad at the night time thing too…I used to get him up and walk him to the bathroom and press his little legs against the toilet bowl, ….why you ask?? Because the bowl is COLD and causes the instant peeing reflex!! Worked like a charm until the time we were at our time share and I was paranoid he would pee in their bed…so did the usual, thought he had woken up enough to walk back to bed…nope…sound asleep….went chin first on the floor….much blood and screaming ensued….he still had a small scar…his sisters slept thru it!! It DOES end eventually!! LOL!!,,,Hang in!
