If you remember what kind of kid you were when you were children, how would you have treated a friend at a sleepover if they turned out to be a bedwetter the following morning?

I would feel embarrassed for them. I would try not to laugh because I was taught to be polite. I wonder if parents have forgotten that subject? The difference in then and now is that even if we laughed at someone in such a situation we felt guilty. Kids today don't seem to feel remorse when they are cruel to each other.

My sister was a bedwetter until she was about 14. Physically, there's not a darn thing she could do about it, and she tried everything. So if I had had a friend who wet the bed, I'd probably just have cleaned up and not said anything about it or said something, quietly, and away from my friend, to my mother, for her to take care of it. My sister actually had this happen. She had a sleep over, in a tent in the backyard at a friends. When she woke up, she had wet the bed, and her friends noticed (in a small tent, you can smell it). So she blamed the one of the cats that roamed our neighborhood. They bought it, and she was spared the embarrassment, but she told the friend's mother (who happened to be an extremely close family friend) the truth

I thought most bedwetters did it at night. I didn't realize there were some who waited until morning.

Like a friend as I am one

It happened to me more than once (I was the bedwetter). Typically my mother would have already called the other mother and warned her I would likely wet her bed. Thus the beds themselves were protected. Often the other mom would very discretely help me change and there would be no drama. The few times I was "caught" by my friends, they were discrete because I think their mom may have spoken to them about it.

Like I did...told them we would take care of it and let my mom know...happened to one of my friends and we just cleaned up and let her bathe and got on with the sleepover....we were all tight and this kind of stuff wasnt a huge issue...we just dealt with it..
