Thanks for all the comments, it has really been helpful to us. We a few days ago had a serious talk with our son, although he obviously felt it a bit embarrassing. He told he put on the diapers after the training because he was going to bed in about an hour or 2, so he according to himself saw no reason for changing all the time. He admitted that the rest room visits were more difficult when beeing diapered, and that he had been "lazy" a few times because of that. He saw the point that diapers were intended to keep his bed dry, not to encourage him to be lazy. From now on he will put on diapers just before going to bed, and he agreed to be checked if necessarry. (He has always pulled them off and taking the shower when jumping out of bed in the morning). To our surprise he admitted that he also had a very few daytime accidents, about once-twice a month. He had hidden them from us because he was afraid he would have to wear diapers during day which he obviously no way wanted! His greatest fear was to wet at school because the pupils are usually not allowed to go during the lessons, but we have now sent the school a note from the doctor giving Thomas (our son) the possibility to visit the rest rooms during the lessons, which was a great relief to him. We have also showed him this site, which he actually seemed to like a lot, and he will probably start posting here to make contact with other kids of his age, his objection is that he thinks we are going to read what he writes. We have assured him we will not. What seemed a problem a week ago has been solved out with a good help from this board. Our soon his fortunately no diaper lover, just a bit lazy. Again, thank you all.
