I wish my 12/13 year self had as much guts as Maddy. It took me until I was nearly 20 before I peed my pants, and I still don't like to pee my pants. The pee running down my legs. I don't know what my parents would have done had I suddenly started to wet the bed and have during the day at 12 years. I know my mom kept me diapers longer than normal for the early 70's (potty trained about 4 years old), but after 8 years of no toileting issues- I think she would act similarly to Maddy's parents. She is so over analyzing stuff, and kind of missing the big picture. She wants her parents to think she has an issue controlling her bladder, but only having accidents in convenient places will probably give it away. PS- Maddy needs some advice when it comes to purposely wetting yourself. Waiting until your bladder is bursting is a rookie mistake. It is far better to pee every 20 minutes until it becomes second nature.

I like in the San Francisco East Bay. We complain that too cold when it's under 65 (18 C) and it's too hot when it over 80 (26 C). But we get almost every day between March and October. November to February it gets cold (even below 60 for high!) Today pushed it because the wind pick up about 5:30 so it was just a bit of cooler cooler than 65 we want. it's was also a little cloudy. It wasn't overcast, but more clouds than sky. It was decent weather, but below par compared to what we expect.

I looked after you posted it, and sure enough Diapers Never Lie was not in my library. I don't understand the arbitrariness of the decision. Both portray abuse, and it's hard to say which character suffered the most. However I've noticed that most of the terrible stories (which is vast majority of Wattpad content) is still there. I'll also not that AMMR never showed up when I did a search for diapers on Wattpad before this happened. I only could find it through your link, or putting in a direct search for the tittle.

Mom clearly doesn't know the first rule about buying diapers. Don't go cheap! Trust me, cheap diapers don't work nearly as well as good diapers.

I have a story that I've started the shell on that will follow that plot. I'm not stealing your story, because it's been in my head for a long time. In my story, the parent assumes the teenager is doing it on purpose. Maddy's parents seem like ideal parents. They are supportive, and not overly emotional. It appears they have high expectations for their children, but not through fear. As somebody who deals with a lot of parents, I would say Maddy's are very good. My only criticism is that they are a little over-protective of Maddy. They are so afraid to let Maddy screw up that they are keeping her from growing up. She hasn't earned that based on her maturity, but trust me- some kids need to pushed out of the nest to grow up. Case and point, the sleepover. It might make sense to forbid her from going on a sleepover if she was too young to understand the consequences of an accident at her friends house (or the consequences of staying up all night). IMO, unless a parent is uncomfortable with the arrangement (IE- other parents, history of sneaking out), they should let Maddy assume the risk of potential embarrassment. As long as she understands the risks, let Maddy go to sleepover. IMO- a 12-year-old is old enough to assume those risks.

I've read statements from parents where they say, "Well obviously, we're not going to put him in a diaper, but the accidents are every day." In some cases, they would likely choose protection themselves if they were having the same level of problems. At some point, it might be the logical move. This story begs the question, what would happen if Maddy's parents discovered these were intentional acts to get diapers?

He's obviously not an adult baby The original owner had a bit of a hoarding problem. I would use them as I buy them. I can't imagine having that many diapers in storage.

I would take some of those diapers off his hand

I was living in a boarding house when I was in High School, so I couldn't risk such things. I also was a little spoiled in college and never had my own money until I was out of college (22 years old). Goodnites came out at roughly the same time, and the day I got hired for my first paying job out of college was the day that I bought my first package of Goodnites from a store.

Why did you copy what I did? I used to open the coupons just to see the coupons for diapers. I also tried to make my own diapers. It didn't work.

As somebody who enjoys my alone time, I don't understand this. I don't mind other people, or even peeing around other people, but that's one of those things that I very much prefer to be by myself when I do it. I don't poop in my diaper, and I don't like pooping if somebody is in the stall next to me.

I wore diapers for the first four years of my life, and a little bit into the fifth year. I went all the way to 24 before I ever wore another one, and then only sporadically for the next twenty years. That's a lot of years of wearing underwear in public. For the last 10 years, I'd would say I've worn diapers in public far more than underwear (although I do wear boxers over my diaper).

Emma has me fascinated as a character. She presents as an absolute miserable self-absorbed young teen, but she let Hannah join them, she tried to remind Hannah about her potty watch, and she gave Hannah her water bottle. She is way more complex than simple than a 12-year-old who is hanging out with a same-age cousin who is 'special'. Remember- she doesn't know what Maddy is thinking, and she has keep up appearances. Hannah reminds me of student we had in the FLS class (highest level of mod/severe class. We had evacuation drill, and we were supposed to line up on football field based on our class. One of us didn't pay attention to where we supposed to line up on the football field, the other lost her class but recognized me a responsible adult. she found me, and never left my side (even if I didn't know WTF I was doing). I choose to stay where I was and let her class find us. She's has 2010 hardware, and trying operate Windows 11, doing the best she can. PS- your genius of character development is letting Hannah school the two middle school soccer stars.

You mean like you are doing all the talking when somebody has a different opinion than you. FTR- we don't know if she is wearing diapers (I don't see it). We do know that Greta is very serious about climate change and started at a relatively young age. It's just my opinion, but I think getting all twisted and horrible over somebody who expressing concern for climate change is pretty stupid. The reality is, whether you're willing to admit it, is that we aren't doing enough to combat climate change. It's manmade, even if that fact upsets people.

For somebody who people accuse of being an attention whore- she is does a great job getting their panties in twist. People making those type of disgusting comments should be embarrassed for yourself. I don't think there is anything diaper-related to in the picture, and it's become an outlet for people to behave like immature kids who need a time-out.

Emma is not a very nice person. That typical for kids in middle school, they are awful people. They are mean, self-centered, narcistic monsters (a bit like politicians). When I was teaching middle school, I heard a theory that middle school is like another version of the terrible twos. They are ready to take on the world, but still think they are the center of the universe. FTR- by 10th grade- kids stop being mean- they are just stupid. I think you've shared that you're writing Maddy as a bit on the spectrum. She doesn't appear to be neuro-typical, but after 23 years in biz- I'm not sure what neuro-typical means. It just some students less typical than others. Based on how you've written her, I don't think she would have an IEP, but she is not like Sarah (AMR) either. She strikes me as a C+/B- student. FTR- that was me. I got an A in Geography (I'm a bit of savant) the 1st quarter, and my dad said "why don't do that all the time?" I made sure not to make that mistake again. I was OK C's, My dad wanted B's. I shot for a B, but aimed low. By my senior year- my aim was really good. I had that C+ dialed in.

I don't see it.

From the lady's viewpoint. I'm not shaming their kink, but something that happened when I wasn't there and know nothing about disgusts me. I'm almost certain children do far worse things with those ball than the adults will. Very few would put those balls in their mouth, but little kids might.

In that case, I agree. If it is visible in public, then it is not private.

AFAIK, it was in private. It's a spa, which is private.

I have a sense that Maddy wetting the bed after taking the pills will give it away that she is doing it on purpose. I'm not 100% certain, but I think those pills suppress the function of the kidney so that you can't produce as urine overnight. It's a powerful drug. I think Maddy's hopes of getting put in Pull-ups are looking bleak.

The parents strike me as one of those who will do anything to avoid going to d-word. Sarah's mother would have put Maddy in diapers by now, but Maddy's parents aren't going for it.

Maddy had an interesting realization about peeing her pants. BTW- why haven't her parents contacted a doctor yet? I mean a sudden change is not normal.

I have a few students who have bathroom privileges written into their IEP, and for the most part it not a problem. The good ones will usually tell me why they took a long time, and some of them just need a break. We're not supposed to let more than one kid out at a time. My classes are so small that it shouldn't be a problem, but it does happen. I once had a girl ask me to use the bathroom, but I told her wait because one kid already out. The kid who was away got lost coming back to my class and was out for at 15 minutes (it's a big campus). In case you wondering, getting lost is a euphemism I use when a student goes galivanting around the campus. To be honest, that kid being out of the classroom was perfectly fine with me because I didn't have to deal with him for those 15 minutes. My inner clock told me to let the girl go to the bathroom, and she went, came back, and asked me if she could wait in my room for the first part of lunch because her mom was going to pick her up. I didn't ask what happened because it's none of my business, but whatever it was- I don't want it to happen on my watch. It didn't happen in my class, but one of my SPED colleagues (SPED have the best stories) had a student away for 40 minutes. He came back with Chipotle and then got upset because he wasn't allowed to eat in class. FTR- I don't know how he made it to Chipotle, got his food, and made it back to class by the end of the period. If you could do that, why did he choose Chipotle? Here is the thing: there are natural consequence for missing 1/2 of a class, and if you constantly do stuff like that and still do well in class, we're wasting their time. I get the idea that some kids don't care about the consequences, but if they don't care about the consequences, they don't care about school. I can't make them care about school. I can help them care, but not if the environment is so toxic that it looks like a prison. Sadly, some of those kids will get that eventually, but that doesn't mean we have to do it for everybody.

Here is the problem with that attitude: there are a lot of kids in a high school. The high school I teach at has almost 3000 students, and kids don't have enough time to use the bathroom during passing period. Especially if there are a lot of students trying to use the bathroom at the same. Ok, some kids abuse the privilege, but I'll let you in on a little secret. I frequently head to bathroom when we have a professional development, and it's not always that I need to use the bathroom. I do it because I need to get up and stretch, and need a short break from the boring stupid stuff that they are trying to teach me. I'm an adult and professional learner, so I shouldn't expect my students to do better me. FTR, students are no worse today than they were when I was in high school. They less self-reliant, which is because we don't foster independence in our students anymore, but kids did bad stuff in the bathrooms when I was kid and they still do.
