I buy Pull-ups, but they can get expensive. We have tried everything I can think of. Medicine, alarms, waking him up several times per night, no drinking after 7pm, etc. And he still seems to wet just about every night. Thanks for the advice!

He just needs to outgrow it. I wet the bed till 16 and tryed EVERY thing. nothing helped and one day I just out grew it. DO NOT PICK ON HIM. the guy who said that is STUPID. instead of pullups why not try a pant made for older kids that might make him feel better.

You are doing everything right! You just need to give him time to grow out of it! He's normal - there's nothing wrong with him! It just takes some people a little while longer to stop bed wetting. Just support him and try not to make him feel even more embarrassed that he probably already does!
It's really not that big of a deal - sure it's embarrassing for him (particularly if he wants to sleep over other people's houses) but trust me if he has good friends then they won't care about his bed wetting problem!

I assume you have taken him to the doctor over the past 13 years. I doubt that anyone here will be able to give you the answer you are looking for. I have a cousin who is married and in his 40's who still wets the bed. He served in the Marines and needless to say he and his wife sleep in separate beds. Maybe acceptance is best for now. Perhaps it will 'fix' itself, or not.

since you've tried all the things most of us would try. I'd ask the doctor and maybe therapy. Something is bothering the child I'd say. My husband wet the bed that long and it turned out he just has a small bladder.

Take him to the doctor. It sounds like something may be wrong with his bladder since you have tried all of those things and nothing has worked.

put a night light in his room, and down the hall, so if he decides to go to the bathroom he wont be afraid to get out of the bed

It is something that he is just have to grow out of, he has to train himself, something that you can not force upon him, speaking from experience... by the way, are you still treating him like an infant? That doesn't help at all...

Well I was going to say seek professional advise, but it looks like you have tried everything. Is there an underlying problem, have you seen a psychiatrist, perhaps that is the way to go ... ... ...
