I plan to celebrate virtually.

"... Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me,
As plurdled gabbleblotchits,
On a lurgid bee,
That mordiously hath blurted out,
Its earted jurtles,
Into a rancid festering confectious organ squealer. ,..."

Damn, this should have been in that creepy poetry thread. Or maybe not.

if my child were bedwetting i would feel mildly insulted and denigrated by the op. just saying. not cool.

I was under the impression that wetting the bed was part of the usual growing-up and learning to control one's body, with a significant number of children going through it and some having other issues meaning it goes on longer?
What does a drug company have to do with that?

Don't get me wrong, I am sure there is "Clinical, diagnosed, abnormal bedwetting..." but I still don't understand why anyone needs to be made aware of this?

What's next "World Pant Pooping Day?".

'if my child were bedwetting i would feel mildly insulted and denigrated by the op. just saying. not cool.'
This was an apparently-legitimate medical event, sent to me by Elsevier because I subscribe to medical journals. Perhaps that others take it seriously would be a better reaction. The 2 fathers I know who had this problem with their children (one remarked that it fell on his son's 42nd birthday) found it amusing.

That it's a serious-enough problem to get this attention. I didn't know that it was. I found the title amusing, but the willingness to be frank means that it's less shameful. JAMA noted the release of a new drug for adult nocturia last week; that this conference used a colloquial term witnesses the intent to address a larger audience.

'What's next "World Pant Pooping Day?".'
If I find it in a medical journal, I may pass it along.

clearly this is about older children that are still doing it... i agree that an occasional accident is normal even for schoolkids - but if it happens every night...

oh, i didn't even see that. never clicked the link.
since bedwetting (in older children) has psychological causes in 99% of all cases, a fat lot of good drugs will do...
