Survey for bed wetters who are punished a diaper.. « Result #2 on Mar 22, 2009, 11:46am »
Hello,
I run a site for the support of those with a wetting problem. It has come to my attention through several members that there is a harsh punishment being used in secret termed "Diaper Discipline. Basically kids that wake up wet, are diapered, bathroom is locked and the child is made to use the diaper for a unknown time (till the parents or one doing it decides it's been long enough. In some cases it can go on for as long as a month, or a summer while out of school). Some are made to go through the day in only a diaper and a t-shirt, siblings are let to tease the one in diapers. It goes on and on.
Anyway, I have a survey (names and other information that would say who you are, are kept out of the paper) for those who were punished with this "diaper discipline", and with the information a paper is going to be written about it and given to numerious agencies to try to teach and prevent this horrible abuse from happening to someone else. Thank you for your time.

As a child I wet the bed from age 5-9.I was presented with diapers and plastic pants to wear. I was rather forced to wear them initially but soon relized tht they were better than a wet bed and easier to hide.

As a some-time wetter in my early years, some deliberate, some accidental, I have become a very laid back parent.
I adopted 2 boys 5 years ago and the younger was quite a regular wetter but had always worn normal underwear and had a soaked bed.
I bought some 11 yr old's nappies and confided in him that I wet too and put one of my own on myself to show him that I was not lying.
He then put one on and for about 2 years wore a nappy, sometimes just at night, sometimes in the day too.
At around 14 he began to wake up dry and ditched the nappies. He's 16 now and doing well at college.
Most kids will grow out of wetting, but a nappy is such a useful piece of clothing. Just make sure that you do not make the child feel like he/she is a baby and the nappy will help mend the underlying problem
