Every wet bed/wet pants earned me a trip over mum or dad's knee. If I woke up wet 7 mornings in a row (happened roughly once a month, I did have some dry nights), dad took his belt off. They didn't get me protection, not even a waterproof sheet to save the mattress. I left when I was 18 and never went back, I moved in with my aunt and uncle who lived near my uni. After they found out how my parents treated me they told me to never go back, I stayed with them until after I finished uni and got my own flat. My aunt and uncle bought me protection, and I was dry most nights by the end of the first school year.

I wet the bed up to and beyond leaving home. My parents didn't get me protection, they just punished me every time I woke up wet, which was most mornings (and occasionally during the day). I moved in with my aunt and uncle when I started uni because they lived nearby, they were the ones who took the more gentle approach and got me nappies and a waterproof sheet. By the end of the school year I was dry most nights, it's almost as if kids don't respond well to threats and stress. I've been completely dry for years, and I now wear nappies solely for pleasure
