Its getting worse and worse

Thanks Mitch and Ele_ven7...
We had thought of this possibility and discussed it at lenght.
We try not to give much attention at all when he is wet - tell him to take himself off to the shower etc etc... and when he is dry we make sure that we make a huge fuss and congratulate him and see its not that hard etc etc... but as much as i try not to, it does get under my skin and as i am still working and tired and pg (you know how it goes) i get frustrated very easily and have found myself yelling - something i dont want to do.
Was taking to DH last night and we were thinking that maybe we should just put him in drynights and leave him to it... but then i just cant feel happy about putting him back in nappies as he is comfortable if he does wet himself and i think that it may contrbute to the problem and it will just continue.

The thing that pi$$es me off the most is that when he gets up i ask him if he is dry or wet and he has to feel his PJ's or bed to know - WTF how can you not know you are wearing sopping wet clothes that are cold??? and very often his reply will be 'oh yeah a little bit' well i dont know what he things a little bit is, but wet Pj's wet pinky (you know those hospital incontinece sheets - perks of being a nurse) a pillow, doon and bottom sheet is not just a little bit! its those comments that make me angry, not the actual wetting, the fact that he has no idea that he has done it and just shruggs it off - vent over sorry

I also agree with mitch and ele_ven7
teach him how to use the washing machine, hang out his own sheets, bring them in when dry and also make his bed everyday! im sure he will get sick of it before long.
if not put him back into night nappies permanantly...im sure he won't want to have sleepovers or go to camp with nappies
i hope this gets sorted for you before bubs is born!

take care
