I've been following this story since the beginning. I know it's based on your story, which is a little shocking. It's almost like the mom doesn't want Tom to become dry. He isn't rewarded for dry nights, but he is quickly punished when he wets his bed. It's one thing to shame him for wetting the bed, but she barely acknowledged his 3 consecutive dry nights.

I love the dynamic of this story. I reread both parts on Amazon tonight. It is one of my favorite stories from Little Writer.

I grew up on the cusp between cloth diapers and disposable diapers. i think my mom used primarily cloth diaper, but started using disposable diapers at some point when I was close to 4. I remember having accidents when I was around 4. My dad was temporarily out of the country when I was four. I have a vague memory of wearing a diaper when I took a bus to my grandparents house while he was away, and then again when he came back for a few weeks in March 1974. At that time, i would have been 4 1/2, and I think that's the last time I ever wore diapers as a child. I remember having an accident a few months later, in October, which was after my birthday. I felt the urge, and realized I hadn't had an accident in a long time, so I ended up doing it in my pants. Whatever I was hoping for didn't seem to work, because I don't remember there being much of a reaction, and I never did it again.

I've wondered what would happen if you followed it to the letter. Some of the key points are never using and using your diaper whenever you need to go (even #2). I think it would be quicker, especially if there was a caregiver involved, so you don't even have the responsibility of changing your diaper. I never tried to follow it to the letter, but I did try some of the methods. I think I skipped the most important part, since I use the potty monster for #2 almost all the time. I also will use it for pee when I know I have to go, and don't trust my diaper to hold without a leak. I also want to extend my diapers. As a result, I could use the toilet most of the time, but I'm not good at holding it anymore.

For those too young to remember Animaniacs, you missed a good show. I got to watch as an adult, and there was no shortage of adult humor in the show. I remember when she said that in the episode. it got my attention real quick.

ADISC had a reputation for being a toxic environment. Whether she was a same person that was on DPF (and I have no reason to believe otherwise), or somebody else, her posts were thoughtful and she usually offerred good advice.

? That makes no sense, and making such a claim without any evidence is in poor taste. The video original post is 7 years old, why are you bashing somebody for no reason?

IMO, the scenario with your neighbor is less creepy. The whole aspect of having the protagonist be 18 years old and that makes it alright always skirts that vibe, but I think it goes overboard in this case. It's creepy even if it was 13 years old, but 3 years old is not appropriate.

I knew Maddy was in bad shape, but I didn't realize she was in that bad of shape. That was very scary for her, but extremely scary for her family.

This is my favorite of your stories. You took me through a trail of emotions, especially when I feared this was going to be one of those steady descents. You did a good job hiding the Mom's motives, which makes sense given the 1st person POV. Alice doesn't know what her mom's motives really were, nor do I think it's important to her. You also avoid a classic trope of Kat becoming Alice's mommy. I don't have an issue with that trope, but it's was good to see another take on the common trope.

Thank God Mom's reaction gives a window into her mindset. Turning Alice into a baby was her ultimate goal all along. However, it seems like Alice was neglected at the same time.

I spend all summer thinking the fourth week in August, because that's when college football starts. I watch pretty much every Sunday during the NFL season, so I'm watching this game as well. I hope for a tie, and neither team gets the trophy. Interestingly, I'd never heard of Bad Bunny (maybe in passing) until he was announced as the halftime performer. I'm a 56 year old guy who wears diapers for comfort. They didn't have me in mind when they chose him, and I'm okay with that.

Yeah, and money grows on trees. School districts are just flush with money to build facilities like that.

Yeah, that would be hard to enforce. Schools sometimes lose track of sanity. Mind you, it is not uncommon for kids to spend 20+ visiting the bathroom. However, they are usually the same kids, and the natural consequence is their grades.

At this stage Emma and Angie are the least of Maddie's worries. Maddie has a 103 degree fever, and the only people seeing her are family members.
