I know this may sound dumb - but I would not allow her to drink anything past 7pm. After I had the baby, I always found myself having that awful urge to pee in the middle of the night, so I would get up to do it resulting in poor sleep habits. Once I limited my drinking to before 7pm and peeing right before bed, it stopped and I rarely get up now to go pee.

Thanks, that is a good idea for nighttime, but the more serious problem is at school. We have made a point of never making her feel bad about this, but it's just going to take the right mean kid witnessing this once for it to become a problem for her.

Our Ped told us the same thing for our DS (who still wet overnight until right around 9) but we didn't do it. he's extremely active and often doesn't even get home until 6. IMO for him limiting water was unhealthy. I just dealt with the bedwetting using overnights he stopped right around 9, obviously when his body was ready.

DD (8.5), only recently stopped wetting her bed. Ped said to wait it out, that she was Ok but just that some kids take longer for their bodies to catch up. I never even considered RX. Hang in there. Just keep the topic light, and let DD know that everyone, even moms, have had accidents. No big deal GL

We had the bed-wetting -- not at school, though. The doctor recommended a bed alarm (look them up on amazon) but we resisted and in the end he just stopped wetting the bed. A year later (he's almost 9) nothing. He started on his own to wake himself up enough to stumble to the bathroom and pee in the toilet, though I always wake up to a yellow ring right in front of it. But I'll take that over what we were dealing with any day.

Is anything stressful going on at home?. Such as fighting, problems with a sibling?. I would be understanding and as calm as possible. Reward her for dry nights. When she wets the bed she should help you clean it up. What time do you go to bed?. You should cut off her fluids at 6pm and if she goes to bed earlier than you then right before you go to bed wake her and have her go.

FWIW, waking her up to pee is in fact the worst thing you can do. she's a deep sleeper and so when you wake her up she's not actually waking up all the way, just enough to pee. So you've effectively taught her to pee in her sleep. Stop fussing--her body obviously isn't ready. Just have her wear nighttime underwear and let her body do it on her own.

Interesting. I hate waking her up to pee because she really is totally out of it and is so disoriented you have to guide her to the bathroom. Is this something you've learned medically or is it just a hunch? I ask because it seems that many people advise waking them up.

Biofeedback helps & peeling twice every time she goes have her pee, then stand up, then immediately sit down and try to pee again

I buy her a lot of meals during the week, plus she has free reign of anything in the refrigerator. I ask her what she wants before I do my fresh direct order. I get her little gifts throughout the year, for valentines mothers day. Gifts for her birthday, her kids birthday.

You can't seriously be suggesting means testing for public transportation?

If I have to pay a proportion of my income, it will be cheaper to hire a driver.

Why would a kid get unlimited pass? If they have to take for school don't they get free Metro Cards?

i was OP of that post. and i don't think means testing is the answer. I think half fare for kids would be reasonable- many other places have this. I guess the problem is that if half price metrocards were available for kids, many people adults would use them for the subway, where nobody would know they were being used by adults.

Like all mothers I think my kids are beautiful, of course, but when i try to be objective I find them both good looking. What's funny is, I think the older one is better looking but the rest of the world think's the younger one is--i'm constantly getting comments about his looks.

Mine are very good looking, but I would say that it also has a lot to do with how I dress them. Them in their diapers are super cute, but not amazing looking. But once I dress them up, they are super gorgeous.

My child is bi-racial and gets lots of attention along with the typical "of your kid's hair is amazing, he should be in a Gap ad"

very attractive - we make a concerted effort to teach them that what kind of a person you are is more important than looks - they are somewhat unaware of their looks, so it is working

I think most little kids are cute. Rarely do I feel little ones are unattractive. Tweens...not always.
