Do you get angry when your kid do this?

Honestly? I hope that child tells his parents that you were angry with him for bedwetting and they do not leave him with you over night again. The poor child was in a new place in a strange bed, probably had a whole different bedtime routine than he's used to, and on top of that I bet he missed his parents. Lots of children have night time troubles like that even under normal circumstances, even more have trouble in that situation. If my child did this, I would keep extra sheets on hand, use the protective underwear made for older children at night, and be very patient and understanding with them about it. Some times children just "outgrow" the bladder capacity. Fluids at night need to be kept to a minimum to help with that, waking them at set times during the night is an option, but mostly time to grow is all they really need.

I might feel angry but I would try not to act on my anger! It is not his fault. A lot of kids have this problem. His parents should have mentioned it to you! If they knew or otherwise it may be a reaction to their being away! I would put a towel down under him and try to get a product to take care of it for him!

Hello BYOLA, I will be disappointed and piss off! If the kid will be staying again for the next night, I will ask him to stand and pee in the toilet...I will inform the parents so that they can help their child and train him so if ever they will do it again with another neighbor, at least, it will not happen again!

Well personally I would not be looking after a neighbour's kid when they went on holiday in the first place. If you have kids they are your responsibility and the kid must have done this before so the parents should have forwarned so you could have put plastic sheets down! I have heard of kids older than 8 years of age who wet the bed and I hope you told his parents that it's their problem to resolve and that you won't be used in this way again. The poor kid must have been quite scared having to stay overnight in different surroundings.

Well, this is kinda annoying thing especially with a big kid. The smell of of baby urine is not as bad as big kid. I have experienced this with my own son (who was six then) and also with my 9 year old niece. The funny thing was he never awaken by his bedwetting. I don't know when he stopped his bad habit but he did. My niece is another one. She is nine years old and still have problems with bedwetting. The mother always scolded here and even made her washed the blanket and bedsheet she has wet. But all these fails to stop her from bedwetting. I think the reason behind it may be there is something stressing them. I don't know, its only my opinion.

My son is 8 years old. He has never been a bed wetter, but he will sometimes sleep walk when he needs to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I have woken up because I have heard him wandering around in the hallway. He occasionally wets himself, but I do not get mad at him because he is not awake and he does not know what he is doing. They do make sleep pants that are absorbent like a diaper for children who have poor nighttime bladder control. I would also cut out liquids at an earlier time in the evening if he will be there in the future.

I, myself, had this problem when I was a child. I didn't do it three times in one night like you described in this case, but I had a medical problem that caused me to do this. No amount of anger fixed the problem. It only served to make things harder on me. It might be a good idea to suggest to your neighbour that the boy have a medical examination to see what is causing this problem.
