I remember several of us kids had plastic sheets on our mattresses until we were about 7-8 because we used to wet the bed occasionally. I cried when mum made me take mine off. I think I was about 8,9.10 - something like that. I still remember the "wee" dream. I always dreamt I had to go to the toilet, and as an adult I've learnt to wake up before actually using it!!! (If you used the "dream" toilet, you would wake up wet.....) LOL.
This sounds like a really tough thing, specially the #2 thing with the 7 year old. My 3 year old niece has just had to go to the dr for the opposite reason. She WONT do poos cause she hates them, and ended up needing to have an enema to clear out her system.
Children are strange creatures huh?
I remember when we used to wet the bed, mum would make us have a bath in the middle of the night, and we used to have to change the sheets there and then. Mum would help us, be we had to do it IYKWIM?
I think the lights being on, and the bath and all the rest of it actually started making us see the consequences. But we were all quite old.
Can I just say that "pull-ups" are possibly a terrible thing? They make something that should be trained out of us, OK, and easy to deal with!! I'm sure it can't be good for little boys testicles to be wrapped in waterproof pants for all these years!
Anyway - I hope the dr can help. I think its definitly time to visit a professional.
