Lisa, I was just reading through different topics in this forum and came across your post.
My nephew is nearly 8 and apparently still wets the bed. BUT, he also still sleeps with his parents and 4yo sister! Mum and I think it's an emotional thing. He doesn't have any problems during the day tho. I have heard of younger kids when being toilet trained just not wanting to stop playing to do such a boring thing like going to the loo. They'd rather dance around for ages in their discomfort than relieve it. hehe.
I'm going to be honest here and tell you the first thing that popped into my head with the laziness thing at home (please remember I haven't had my first baby yet.. so I'm completely inexperienced!!). My first thought, was I'd make him stay in his pooey pants until his butt was red raw.. or if he's hiding pooey pants, find them and put them somewhere he'd hate them put. Like on his pillow.. or drape them over his favourite toy truck. LOL.
OK.. I am now prepared for the barrage of comments telling me what a terrible mother I will be. hehehe. I think what I'm saying is, I wouldn't want him thinking he can do it coz mum will clean it up anyway.
Having said all that, I would definitely speak to a doctor first to rule out any emotional problems etc.
Wow... I have a lot to look forward to don't I 8-[
