Hi, my son is 12 1/2 and is so obsessed with gaming (which I do restrict) that he wets his pants rather than coming off his games to go to the loo in time! This is at least the 4th time in 1.5yrs and although his room is in the attic there is a loo on the next floor down! He's been known to wee in his bin then when we noticed the weird smell he swapped bins with his brother. More recently he weed into a pen pot that was hard cardboard-needless to say it leaked. Then even more recently he peed onto a water bottle threw the contents out of the window then hid the remaining amount in the bottle under his chest of drawers. If you knew him you will understand when I say he is chronically lazy! I know the easy answer is ban all electrical a completely but as a parent I know that all their friends are into gaming and it's a big part of their social life! We have electrical free days twice a week at present and they are only allowed a couple of hours on then a couple off etc as a general rule. I'm wondering if you could offer constructive advice with regards to how I deal with this issue.
Kind regards from a desperate parent!

What did you do when you discovered any of this? Did he have any consequences?
