Nappies Direct

I left home four years before his birth and do not often see ... Perhaps once a year, but he comes to stay with his mother and I was really shocked to learn that he is still in nappies at night. Is this normal? Her mother says she does not make them grow, but I'm worried she might try to keep young people on purpose because it can not cope with older children and likes to have a baby 'for s' occupy. (She is an unmarried single parent who does not work and teaches him at home so it does not go to school with her 24 / 7). He was breastfed until about 5 1 / 2 years and still wears bibs? He refuses to get dressed (I mean like my mom do it for me and I will not do it myself until I'm a man) and do not go tot he toilet by himself, as he loves his "mommy" to wipe his bottom. EVERY time he goes to the toilet, he cries for her then directs his step by step to wipe with toilet paper, then wipe, then having talc dabbed on his buttocks. He is six and a half?

I tried talking to her mother about it but she was really angry and defensive if I was personally attacked him so I backed off and did not do it again. But all that really bothers me (there are other things too) and I honestly find it troubling and scary.

I want the opinion of other mothers ... maybe my view is obscured to be emotionally involved. Do you think this is something good or wrong about the situation?

I'm surprised he did not assert greater independence to be honest. 5 and ahalf old is breast-feeding, I fed my daughter until she was 4 and a half and my youngest still feed - it is 3. However, my son recently stopped asking for help toilet and getting ready for school and it would be suspect stop asking for milk feeds very soon ...
Personally, I think it is wrong to encourage a boy to YR 6 behave like this ... you should encourage school children to acquire skills to care for themselves, but I have no idea what you can do about it!

I also think that encouraging the behavior is not good for the child

Your mother needs to be launched, it is babying that many childr ... let it grow

For my part, do not believe you. I think you exaggerate the majority of the dramatic situation of affect.

As for the real question, if it is a young boy who wears a coat at night, it is likely he has a problem with bedwetting. Many children in primary school have problems with that.

I am not a mother, but she should let her son make his own stuff, if it did have trouble and it will not confidess and u is tired of talking to his mother before he grows up but talk to her again and tell him what would happen if it does not change much hope helped:)
