My son is peeing in his room
My son just turned 5. He has never had a problem with bedwetting, it was pretty easy to potty train him. He's only ever had maybe a handful of accidents at night, if that.
What my problem is, is my son keeps for some reason peeing in the corner of his room where his mattress is. It's so bad now that an entire section of his mattress is soaked with urine. I am going to have hard work ahead of me to get it out of there. My boyfriend also found a small lego box that he'd peed in one day not long ago.
My son has never done anything like this, except when he was initially being potty trained. And that was at least 3 years ago now. I suspect that he's doing this because he is too afraid to get up in the night to go pee. He is afraid of the dark, even when I used to use a night light in his room.
There have also been a few times, that I know of where he will come home from kindergarden and go into his room and pee. Instead of going one more stop down the hallway, which is lit up with sunlight and using the toilet.
A few life changes that have occured are we moved about 10 hours south to move in with my boyfriend. His father has been nonexistant for at least a year. My boyfriend has taken the role on as Dad for both my children. And my son has also started kindergarden, which he loves. He can't wait to goto school everyday.
I am at my wits end with this. I don't know what to do to stop this from happening. I don't want to regress and put him in nighttime pullups.
What can I do to help my son and stop this behavoir?
