Gahh, I still hate to admit it but yes. Probably until I was almost 12 or so. I honestly think the "treatment" (a bed wetting alarm), is the main reason I get terrible bladder infections to this day. I learned to "hold it" a little too well.
I can recall being traumatized by a babysitter when I was younger, maybe 8. I was forbidden any liquid after 8 PM. I have always been one to dehydrate very quickly. So after being locked in my room because I was drinking from the sink, I resorted to drinking from my hamster's water bottle.
The water restrictions ended shortly after relating this to my mother.
OMG that's so wrong! Your hamster's waterbottle?? I'd have had a meltdown and showed that babysitter that either I get water as part of my nighttime routine or that she'd have one crazed aspie kid on her hands. I remember trying to drink from my guinea pig's water bottle once...I liked the salt lick better. lol. I was eight.
