Apr. 20, 2008 at 12:44 AM She needs to see a psychologist. Not a psychiatrist. And if she has been seeing one, she needs a new one. She may need to see the medical doctor again as well. I find it hard to believe that she is just lazy. Good Luck!

Apr. 20, 2008 at 12:47 AM Did she wet the bed when she had sleepovers or when she went and stayed at other places? I wouldnt change her sheets or anything until she can't stand the smell. After awhile it should get to her. I don't know what else to suggest.

Apr. 20, 2008 at 4:04 PM I'm sure the smell's bad, but maybe you should just try to stand it.  It's not your job to change her sheets.  She's 19, not a little girl anymore.  Make her sleep on the same nasty sheets until she's disgusted enough to stop wetting the bed.  I hope I didn't sound too harsh, but I don't know if I could deal with that.

May. 29, 2008 at 9:06 PM So it is laziness? If so, maybe you need to play Mr. Toughguy and make her be way more independent.  Man she has to break this horrible habit before she gets married and has kids (in the future).

  • Delayed bladder maturation. "Simply put, the brain and bladder gradually learn to communicate with each other during sleep, and this takes longer to happen in some kids," Bennett tells WebMD.
  • Low anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). This hormone tells the kidneys to make less urine. Studies show that some kids who wet the bed release less of this hormone while asleep. More urine can mean more bed-wetting.
  • Deep sleepers. "Families have been telling us for years that their children who wet the bed sleep more deeply than their kids that don't," says Bennett. Research confirms the link. "Some of these children sleep so deeply, their brain doesn't get the signal that their bladder is full."
  • Smaller "functional" bladder. Although a child's true bladder size may be normal, "during sleep, it sends the signal earlier that it's full," says Bennett. 
  • Constipation. Full bowels press on the bladder, and can cause uncontrolled bladder contractions, during waking or sleep. "This is the one that's hiding in the background," says Bennett. "Once kids are toilet trained, parents often don't know how often a child is going ... [they're] out of the 'poop loop.'"
