I thought I would share with this group the result of a survey
Hi,
I am the owner of the Stay Dry Bedwetting Group, and I thought I would share with this group the result of a survey. I hope it will provide some insight into this issues. The following is a summary of past post on Survey : What dose bedwetting mean to you? 1)To some it means being feeling a lone. Nicholas 11b - it is crazy and i feel dumb Chris 13g ------- Having to put diapers on before bed then having to deal with the Wet diapers to deal with each morning. Peter 13b -- Bedwetting means to me i'm not able to go to sleepovers. Travis 12b -- For me bedwetting meant many many disappointed mornings, and a tough way to start each day. Guilherme 16b - is a problem to wake up in the mornig and have the bed with pee Jill 17g -------- Means I've lost out on childhood, no sleepovers, camping, etc. 2)To some it means being feeling a lone. Nicholas 11b - I feel sad all the time. Chris 13g ------- I know I am not alone but I still feel ashamed Peter 13b ------ Sometimes bedwetting makes you feel alone, you are afraid to tell somebody about. So you are a litle social isolated Travis 12b - I used to feel alone because I was "different" from the other kids and could never go to sleepovers and was never totally accepted in the group. Guilherme 16b - yes, but is importnat to my my famile support Jill 17g ---------- For most of the time, until recently, I did feel alone. 3)To some it feeling like a baby. Nicholas 11b - I do not feel like a baby Chris 13g - -------I do not feel like a baby I may have to wear diapers but I know many more older kids and adults do also Peter 13b --------Babys do also wear diapers. I'm used to my diapers now and i accept them as usual underwaer. And i have learned there are more adults who use diapers then babies. Travis 12b - i did'nt feel like a baby so much as it was explained to me that it wasn't something could help, being placed back in diapers when i show no signs of improvement did make me feel babyish at times. Guilherme 16b - yes i feel a baby because i need to use diaper and i hate to use it Jill 17g ------------ Ditto. 4)To some it feeling ashamed. Nicholas 11b - I feel very ashamed Chris 13g -------- It is very easy to be ashamed. When I have friends over and my room smells like a wet diaper, the crinkle of the mattress cover does not help. But yet none of my friends call me any names they all like me for who I am. I would say about 1/2 of my freinds have wet the bed sometime in their life. Peter 13b ---------- Bedwetting isn't a problem you tell everyone about. It's a taboo, that you can't control you bladder. Travis 12b --- I felt ashamed many times cause deep down i felt I had let my parents down. Guilherme 16b ----- yes i what to be more independent Jill 17g ------------- In the back of my mind, it's why I chickened out when i tried to tell my freinds about my problem so that I could finally sleepover and go camping. 5) To some it feels like a failure. Nicholas 11b - yes Chris 13g ------- I do not feel failure it is just part of my life Peter 13b --------- It's a failure of my body, but it can be worse failure. Like being handicapped etc. Travis 12b -- I at times felt like I could do nothing right and was teased by friends over the diapers. Guilherme 16b - no Jill 17g --------- Well, when you are doing something that most people by the age of three have stopped, yes, it does make u feel bummed out. 6)To some parents it makes them frustrated. Nicholas 11b - yes Chris 13g ------ My parents were cool about it both wet late in life and now my dad started again at 45 yrs old. Peter 13b ------- Parents are frustrated because they can't help their child to stop, they see it as a failure of themself Travis 12b - I used to feel bad when i would overhear mom defending her parenting skills. Mom tried every technique, drug me to several doctors but I continued to wet nightly, she could do nothing at that point. Guilherme 16b - i guest yes Jill 17g --------- Thankfully for me, no. Mom understands, because she wet till 16. 7)To some parents it makes them feel mad because the child is doing deliberately Nicholas 11b - yes Chris 13g - My parents do not get mad even when I wet my self during the day sometimes because I am to busy to use the bathroom. Peter 13b ----- no comment Travis 12b - My dad used to tell me to get my a** out of bed and use the potty like a big boy, he get mega mad if I fell asleep in the car and wet! Guilherme 16b - if the chid do deliberately is too bad for parents but if the child do and don=B4t what too is bad for child not for parents Jill 17g --------- Thankfully for me, no. Mom understands, because she wet till 16. 8)To some parents it makes them feel that they failed in Some way to help their child. Nicholas 11b - . yes Chris 13g ---- My parents know they did not fail. Peter 13b -------- no comment Travis 12b -- I am sure mom felt bad cause she was helpless and tried so many things. Guilherme 16b - yes always because the parents what=B4s the best for their child Jill 17g ------- in some way to help their child. Mom has always encouraged me to at least try to sleepover, that i could hide goodnites and no one would know i was wearing...but she never was pushy about it and left it up to me. 9)To some parents it makes them feel ashamed that their child has not gained night or day control. Nicholas 11b - yes Chris 13g ------- My Parents are not ashamed of me. Peter 13b -------- As i sayed it's a taboo. Travis 12b ---I am not sure if my parents felt ashamed, but I know they had to defent themselves to family and took a lot of flack cause I was too old for diapers! Guilherme 16b - yes because they think that the fault is from the parents and education was not the better Jill 17g ----------- No...reference Please if you have not filled out Survey.
