DearAbby

7-Year-Old Boy
A Bed Weiter

By Abigall Van Buren

D 107M by Chicago Tribune ¥ Naws Synd. ec,

DEAR ABBY: I am desperate and in lears. I can't take it
anymorel ] have a 7-year-old son who still wets his bed.
have taken him to our pediatrician who sent us to 2
urologist. They both said there was nothing physically
wrong with the boy.

] have spanked him, taken away his favorite TV shows,
and even told him he couldn't play outdoors or go any place
special if he wet the bed the night before.

leven tried making him wash his own pajamas and the
bedsheet, but that didn't help. .

To top it all off, my 4-year-old wha stopped wetting his
bed two years ago has now startéd in again! I guess he
thinks if his big brother does it, il’s okay for him, loo!

My 7-year-old quit for five days straight before his birth-
day because he thought he'd get more presents, so I know he
can quil.

I'm expecting another baby in four months. Then I'll have
THREE kids wetting the bed.

Tam ready to give up hope. Please help me, Abby!

HOPELESS ..

DEAR HOPELESS; Hi the doctora assure you that there
is oothiag physleally wrong with the boy, try the “Wet
Alarm" (Sears’ catalogue liste it},

I've had hundseds of scaders tell me that this solved the
problem when all else failed, I hope it workefor you, but iit
doesn't, quietly change the sheets and make no mention of
the wel bed whatsoever, No shaming and no pusishments.
Just total ailence.

DEAR AQHY: I am a former GI, married to a girl from
Southeast Asia, My problem is that she keeps after me con-
slantly Lo send money over there to her family. I have been
sending as much as I can, but it keeps me broke,

Abby, we are depriving ourselves of the necessities — like
a telephone and new tires for our old car. We can't even pay
some of our own bills, and she keeps begging and begging
me to send more and more to her people. I work to support
her and that's all J can do.

Please advise us both, Abby. And thank you.

30 ANDDRAINED

DEAR DRAINED: If you're the only one working in your
family (and 1 assume you are), it's time you learned how to
say, “Enough is enough.”

Those who have money should help those who do nat, but
you should allocate a set sum to send to her family — and oot
a dime more. Explain this to your wife.

DEAR ABHY: | always wanted my husband to wear a
wedding band, so 1 saved up my money and bought one for
him. He acted pleased when I gave it to him, bul he ware it
only a few times.

Every time J asked him why he wasn't wearing his wed-
ding band, he'd say. “I forgot it."

T just couldn't believe he was that forgetful, but when I
iry to get the read reason out of him, he gets mad and won't
talk, and [end up crying myself to sleep,

I finally came to the conclusion that either he doesn't
want to be married, or he doesn't want other people to know
he's married.

Gutside of this, he's a wonderful husband and father and
he says he loves me. Whal do you think?

HURT

- DEAR HURT: If he’s a wonderful husband and father and
he esys he loves you, believe him and don't look for
problems where none apparently exists, or you might
create one. :
