Have you ever known someone who wet the bed past an acceptable age?

Question

My sister is 15 and still wets the bed from time to time.Have you ever known or know about someone like this?

Answer 1

A cousin that lives in a different state.  We went to visit and could not even go to his bedroom. It simply reeked like urine.  He was 17 years old back then.  I think he's past this, now that he's 21.

Answer 2

it happens mate, i stopped when i should of done but sometimes people are in their late 20's doing it and it isn't really funny its a problem so you should be more supportive of your sister

Answer 3

Well, I had a friend who used to get drunk and wet the closet, but I don't guess that counts.

Answer 4

I feel for your sister.  I grew up with the same problem for pretty much my whole childhood.  I never really had a dry night until I was about 11, and I was in college and still slept with a plastic sheet on my bed, if that tells you anything.  It sounds bad, I know, but the truth is that it happens to a lot more people than you would think.

PLEASE don't be hard on your sister; it's a medical condition and there's nothing she can do about it, or I'm sure she would!  Usually it's caused by the bladder muscles developing too slowly to keep up with the rest of the body.  It's often a genetic condition and there are some treatments that can help, but it's really outside her control until her bladder catches up.

Answer 5

my son is 15 and still wets the bed every night

we dont give him a hard time about it and u shouldn't give your sister a hard time
