9 year old in pullups!


Question Posted Friday June 27 2008, 8:28 pm

my little sister is 9 years old, and she still wears a pullup (like a diaper for toddlers) every night to bed. My mom doesn't understand how crazy this is. It's a waste of money, it's terrible for the environment, and it makes no sense! sure, she wets the pullup, but that's only because she isn't being trained not too! She is way too old, but my mom doesn't seem to care, and is too lazy to make her stop, because she doesn't want to be washing the sheets whenever she wets the bed. What should I do? Am I making it a bigger deal than it is? I would understand if she had a real bladder problem or something, but she doesn't, it's just that no one in my family wants to make an effort to stop this! What should I do?

talk to your parents about this, tell them this is wrong. a 9 year old could still be wetting the bed, but they really shouldn't.

and if your parents ignore you, you take action. talk your sister about this. teach her to not wet the bed. and if she does, wash the sheets [because like you said, your mom doesnt want to wash them, and since your taking action, its best you dont get your mother mad], you can give her a prize or something if she doesn't wet the bed for a night. sooner or later, she will stop, and you will feel good about helping your sister, and your parents will understand how it was bothering you and hopefully they will reward you or apologize.

i hope i helped.

I have a cousin that wet the bed until he was 13. He has no bladder problems either. That's just what kids do- they wet the bed.
She's nine years old, let her be nine. If you are so worried about the environment, recycle, volunteer in your community, and donate to charities and things like that.
