So he was told to clean room last night-instead I find him outside playing basketball. He said he couldnt clean until he did the mountain of laundry in his room and since the washing machine was in use-he couldnt do anything. I pointed out to him that he could pick up the dog shit off the floor and he could put the plastic sheet on his bed and make it if he had any available sheets. I told him the plastic sheet was under his bed where he left it. So he does go back there and gets it-brings it out and there is literally a pool of urine in the middle of it. He said I cant use this-"look at it!" Um, yeah, its covered in your piss. Take it outside, wash it off and stick it on your bed. He told me that our dogs went in there, crawled under his bed, and pissed right in the middle of this wadded up plastic sheet. He said "It cant be me I havent used it for two weeks!" I was like "Exactly that's why its turning brown! The dogs could not pee that much if they tried".

OMG! There's been a puddle of urine fermenting in his room for like 2 weeks and he just left it there. He had to know when he took it off his bed. I shouldnt be surprised as this is not the first time it has happened. A year or so ago when he was just visiting he would sleep on a futon in my ds's room. He had a plastic sheet for that which he disliked. So didnt use it most of the time. One week after he left-the room kept smelling sooo bad. Finally I decided I just had to go in there and do a deep cleaning. I reached under the futon and touched somehting wet-pulled it and it was surprise! a wadded up plastic sheet with a brown puddle of urine in the middle of it. I gagged. I went and got dh and told him he needed to take care of it. He came upstairs and he gagged.

I try not to say much about his bedwetting, because dd10 still bedwets-not as much as ss14-but still some. Even my ds12 still has "accidents" about once a month-although they are not really accidents it's from when he drinks too much soda. However, we've never had these sorts of problems from the other kids. My ds12 does his own laundry without being told. All of it-whether its' urinated on or not. If he has an "accident" he's embarrassed and will take his laundry up and do it within 24 hours. My dd10 has been learning to do her own laundry and she has been starting her wet blankets and such as well. Both dd and ds keep a plastic sheet on their bed all the time-so no ruined mattress, no odor.

My ss will not even try to not wet the bed. He wont limit his fluids in teh evening-he doesnt make sure he goes to the bathroom before bed. Nothing. Because he cant help it he says. So why bother to try? We are discussing getting a bedwetting alarm-I've just held back as they are 100.00 and I know he wont use it. If he wont use a plastic sheet it's silly to think he is going to stick something to his underwear at night that's going to wake him up. Oh, well I might as well go ahead and purchase it-if he doesnt use it I can have my dd10 use it.
