Wow! I would never do that. That is so mean  

I understand where you are coming from. I get hung up on stuff like that. Like when I was in 4th grade I had an accident. (Had bladder and kidney issues and my teacher didn't care.) My mom got mad at me and told me how smurfing stupid that was. And then another time I had a tray of food thrown at me and asked my mom to bring me another shirt and she brought me one that smelled like cat piss. I wore the food covered shirt the rest of the day. I mean how the smurf do you not smell cat piss?! I have a whole list of this smurf. I need to seek therapy.

My mom always says she doesn't remember this smurf but I know she does.

I think her reasoning at the time was that she didn't want to drive the 20 minutes to school with my brother..... I can't wrap my head around it.

shoot id be driving it right away then id leave some pants with the office just incase. it isnt like she didnt know you had a freaking problem.

I know how you feel... Every time I think about when I almost drowned and, my mom's reaction to it, it pisses me off to no end.

1) Why the hell was I at the pool with no floaties on considering I didn't know how to swim.

2) Why would you even take your child, who doesn't know how to swim, to the pool if you are just going to pass out in the lawn chair?

3) Why did she allow me to play in the deep end of the pool? (I liked going up and down the ladder because it meant I could get my hair wet).

4) It was my 5 year old sister who pulled me out, and when we told my mom about it, she called me a "Smurfing Liar" and rolled over to soak up some more sun.

To this day she thinks it never happened. Even when my sister and I tell her it happened because she and I clearly remember it like it was yesterday.

i had the same issue (with the accidents). i had an accident (in kindergarten) while waiting for the end of school bell to get on the bus. the bus ride was an hr long so my teacher took me, gave me a change of clothes (she had a box of clothes she kept for such an occasion) and made my grandmother to come get me. So i'm sorry this happened to you. i get told i hang on to stuff too much too.

I think my mom legit doesn't remember. She gets so shocked when I tell her stuff that she did and she starts apologizing and blah blah blah. I think she blocks it out.

I don't want my daughter to ever have memories like that of me. I don't want her to think back on horrible smurf that I did. I'm going to do everything to NOT be like that.

I agree... I feel the same way when it comes to my kids as well.

I'm sorry it happened to you but harboring it isn't healthy.

even if I didn't have an issue and it had just been a one time thing, why wouldn't she bring me something to change into????

That's awful   I have some traumatizing childhood stories too. And people used to remember them all through hs   it sucks being in a small town.

i heard a lot of "why do you keep doing this?" and "why can't you just get up and go to the bathroom". till finally after about 8-9 yrs old, a doc told my parents that my body didn't register i had to go till it was too late. yet i never got an apology for being yelled at.

Aw, I'm sorry that happened and I understand why it still bothers you.

I never had an issue with wetting but I remember my mom would make me go to school every single day no matter how sick I was because she "couldn't deal with" staying home with me all day. One year[don't remember what grade I was in, 4th I think] I had the flu for a week and she sent me to school every single day that week and I just lay in the nurses office all day. Our nurse was really nice and took care of me.

And then in middle/high school the nurse would call my mom to come pick me up because I would have a fever or vomiting or a migraine, or all 3 and my mom would just never show up. When I was a junior and I had a high fever, the nurse threatened to call DYFS[CPS in NJ] if I didn't go home so I called my brother to come get me instead.
