Stanley79 636 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Looking forward to how Melody's toilette training works out. My mother's child-rearing book said boys should have gained complete voluntary bladder control by 48 months (or some such number). Well I had not. So my parents put me on a routine of no liquids from dinner until breakfast. When I needed to pee, they made sure to find me a place within 10 minutes. At age 10 my cousins took a greater role in my supervision. The cousin 5 years my senior couldn't imagine watching evening TV without Kool Aid. The one 11 years my senior added slow gin to essential evening drinks. My (lack of) control returned to where it had been 6 years previously. As gaining a 45-minute waiting ability and reliably dry nights took me three years (age 13), my voluntary nerves and sphincter tissue must have atrophied some. My control never became really good. So I'm looking forward to how the story presents Melody's experiences. Quote Link to comment

Someone else wanted a Melody spinoff, so maybe I will have to deliver. Quote Link to comment
Stanley79 636 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 In my own experience people who retrained have lingering difficulty managing unusual situations. How long can I postpone when heavily hydrated or a.bit tipsy? I've also seen this among early adolescents. Typically, they've done ok with a 24 ounce drink and an unfamiliar mall where they don't know the restroom location. So another time they fearlessly consume a 24 ounce drink expecting no serious problems. They treat that 12 ounce icecream sundae as a solid not thinking how a body turns it into liquid. More simply a person might consume a couple icecream sodas while window shopping. Then the excitement over a special purchase obliterates the.intention of peeing before catching a bus home. But your story. Not mine. Quote Link to comment
writeandleft 155 Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Here is more story. Chapter Thirty-Two: Decorating and Tea I woke up and it was still dark. Kara’s clock radio said it was 3:32 am. I almost went back to sleep when I heard it. Cassie had rolled on her back which was fortunate because I think she was wetting in her sleep. I didn’t really want her leaning against me especially if she leaked. I rolled over to face her. I wondered if I should wake her. She wasn’t moving at all and I couldn’t even hear her breathing. It was almost as if she were a dead body lying next to me. I put a hand an inch from her face and felt a little bit of breaking coming from her. If she was sleeping that deeply, I wasn’t going to try to wake her before she needed to be up. The purple diapers would hold up pretty good now that she was done going. When I leaked, it was usually while I was going and after two or three wettings. Fortunately no one caught me the few times that happened and now that Cassie and I only wore diapers to bed, it wasn’t a problem anymore. I tried not to be disgusted. If it were me who wet, I would be thinking about how nice it felt, I lay back and wet too and then let sleep take me again. When I woke up again, Kara was up and dressed already. Cassie had an arm around my belly. My pillow was wet and my cheek was covered in slobber. I rubbed my face and found that the source was from me drooling. My face burned with embarrassment. Why did I drool every night. I didn’t slobber on myself in class or while I was awake. I didn’t spend the night with Jonah so he didn’t know and I was glad to keep both the drooling and the diapers from him. Cassie woke with a start and then I felt her moving around. Her diaper crinkled as she reached a hand inside. She must have felt how wet she was because she sat up and frowned. “It happened again,” she said. She got up and ran to the bathroom. I heard the shower run. “What’s with her?” asked Kara. “What do you think happened?” I asked. “Oh,” she said when she got it. I gathered up my stuff for my bath. “I’m going to shower when Cassie gets back. Just don’t say anything to her about the diapers. She gets panic attacks because she had very abusive foster parants who didn’t care for it when she woke up wet. Now that she is incontinent, it feels worse for her.” “Okay,” she said. “I knew the scholarship involved interacting with other incontinent people, but you go through a lot.” “And all those girls are great and I love hanging out with them,” I said. “They are people,” you know. Cassie came back wrapped in a towel; her pajamas and her diaper were held in her hand. She came in and sighed. “Sorry. I ran off without my stuff again. Your brother is cute.” Kara sighed. “He didn’t see your diaper I hope.” “No, but lighten up. You don’t have to deal with this every morning like I do.” “I’m getting breakfast,” Kara said. “I’ll be back soon.” She hurried downstairs. Cassie grabbed clean underpants and whatever clothes she was wearing and started changing. I went to the bathroom and showered. The shower was warm and felt good after a long wet night. I cleaned myself, then dressed, being careful to do my makeup and dress in the best way I could. When I returned, I heard arguing. “Where was I supposed to put it. If I left it in the bathroom trash, your brother would have seen it.” Kara answered Cassie. “My parents are going to see diapers in my trash and wonder what is going on.” She was angry. We headed out to my car. Kara came to my car door. “I’m sorry I overreacted,” she said. “It’s all right,” I said. “It’s over. We’ll be back by 8:00 pm tonight.” She smiled and went back inside. I pulled out of the driveway and Cassie started in. “I can’t believe I did that again. It was supposed to be a relaxing vacation and the stress was supposed to go away. And the way she treated me was like I was gross.” “We dealt with it,” I said. “I mean they were meaner about it in juvie, but—” I gave her a look. “Sorry, I was ranting again. Besides, I hate this.” I looked at her. “I am sorry you have to deal with the whole remodel thing. I’ll just set you up on Wi-Fi and you can do some school work while Mom and I work on the remodel decisions.” “That sounds good,” she said. “I always put these kind of things off.” “And then you keep me up all night tapping out papers on your laptop late on Sunday nights.” She laughed. “At least you got me to diaper up for bed before I started so I could just collapse after I finished.” I frowned. Too many times she woke fully dressed in a pool of her own urine. I felt bad for her. This bedwetting thing was taking a toll on her and college kept getting harder and harder. I hoped that she was able to get past it. At least Milton was learning to deal with it or at least not belittle her about it, but he was not enjoying it. While I was woolgathering about it, I ended up driving home and pulling in the driveway. We got out and went into the house. I took her into the living room and let her spread her stuff over the coffee table. “Wifi is EaglesFan and the password is Bradford. Bradford is capitalized.” “I guess your dad likes the Philadelphia Eagles,” said Cassie. “You think?” I asked. She giggled. “I usually use FBI Surveillance Van as my SSID.” “No you don’t. You use “MITStudent and the Wi-Fi is open, so it doesn’t need a password.” “But it checks our MAC Addresses,” she said. I nodded and let her start working on her paper. I then joined Mom in the kitchen. The table was covered in tiny carpet samples. A Pantone book lay on the table as well. I sighed, and then sat down. “You were supposed to be here ten minutes ago,” said Mom. I sighed. “Cassie is here with me and she’ll just be bored doing this. It’s not like I won’t be bored. But anyway. I set her up with Wi-Fi in the living room so she can work on her homework.” “Well I suppose that is fine. I should have thought of her and wrote her something to do in the Steven’s Family Itinerary.” She looked at the carpet samples and paint. “Now you got to decide what you want the room to look like.” “Well, not pink anymore. I hated the color.” I went through the Pantone book. “I like this goldenrod for the North and South walls. For the East and West walls let’s do this greenish color.” “That’s too dark,” said Mom. “It’s not when you combine it with the goldenrod walls. Besides, the ceiling will be white and so will the wood trim.” I thought for a minute. “See this, green carpet will match the walls and not show stains.” We looked through the books and spent the next three hours discussing it. Finally we got grass green carpet and light blue paint. The accent wall on the west was an orange yellow color. “Are you trying for a sunset?” asked Mom. “You wouldn’t let me do a gradient on the North and South walls,” I said, “but I think that would be overkill.” “Well I’ll get the order into the contractors and then you can’t just hang out until lunch time. We are having tea and finger sandwiches.” I smiled. “Thank sounds good. Maybe I’ll work on my studying until lunch too.” I left and rejoined Cassie. “You don’t look messy at all,” she said. “I thought painting and laying carpet would be messy and take you a long time.” I laughed. “I didn’t paint or lay carpet. We just picked out the carpet and the paint colors. Contractors are doing the actual painting and remodeling. Besides, they got to do drywall yet.” I sat next to her and got my laptop going. I opened up a word processor and started working on my English paper. I was tired of Freshman Comp. I heard it got better in the second semester, but I didn’t think I believed that at all. I opened my reference books and then started to type. Despite being engineering students, English was the most paper intensive class. I wondered how I would have done as a Penn State English major if I was struggling so much at MIT doing a simple Freshman Comp paper. We sat and typed until noon. Then Mom carried a big plate of finger sandwiches and put it down in the middle of the coffee table. She also set out tea cups and saucers for us. Cassie moved her books and set them on the floor and folded her laptop and put that on top. “What is this? Are we having a tea party? Are your dolls and plushies coming down to join us too?” “No. This is just lunch. It said tea and finger sandwiches on the itinerary.” I was in confusion for a bit. Mom poured us both a cup of boiling hot water and passed a tin of tea around. I took a bag of English Breakfast and dipped it in my tea cup. Cassie looked at me like she didn’t know what was going on. “Just select something,” I said. She looked through the tin, then her eyes brightened and she dipped some tea in her tea cup. “Tea, Earl Grey, hot,” she said. She looked at it just sit there. “You don’t have to announce what tea you picked,” I said. “It’s how Captain Picard orders his tea,” she protested. She picked up her cup to take a sip, but I stopped her. “Wait, it has to steep first,” I said. “And then after it steeps you will want to throw you tea bag away.” “Oh,” she said. “When I lived with Loraine, she had a big jar with five tea bags on the porch which she let sit in the sun. After a day or two, she poured it into a pitcher of ice.” I laughed. “That is iced tea.” I picked up about four sandwiches and put them on my plate and then I looked down at my tea. I took out the bag, and put it on the extra saucer put on the table for that purpose, but I thought it was ready. I took a sip. “Mine is good. You might want to pull yours out.” She took her tea bag out of her tea and dripped it from her cup over to the extra saucer. She then took a sip and made a face. “Need sugar?” I asked. “One or two?” “Two,” she said. I picked up some tongs and added two sugar cubes to her drink. “How does Captain Picard drink this stuff?” I asked. “I don’t know. I don’t like Earl Grey. That is why I have English Breakfast. I drank another sip of my tea and watched Cassie. She seemed to like her sugared down tea. “Okay,” she said, “this is much better.” “You don’t know anything about tea and only recognized the name Earl Grey from Star Trek, right.” She frowned and then looked at me and then nodded. “Sorry,” she said. “I usually just drink pop.” “It’s okay,” I said. We sat and finished our meal. I then helped my mother clear the coffee table while Cassie worked on her paper. “So, what is Cassie’s background?” asked Mom when we in the kitchen. “She was kind of poor and raised in foster care,” I said. “Don’t judge her for not knowing how to do a tea party. I think the last time she had a tea party, the tea was pretend and the other guests were really stuffed animals and dolls.” Mom laughed. “I’m not judging her. I just found her struggling to make tea was funny.” “She really been through a lot and hasn’t had the same opportunities as we do.” “I am glad you are helping her instead of being snobby,” said Mom. I looked down at my feet. I had been horrible to the poorer students in high school, but things were different now. Rpr, TheOwl and Bismiris 3 Quote Link to comment
kingdark 5 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 eh, maybe this is because of the theme, but some of your chapters use black letters and on the gray / dark backgrounde, it's nearly impossible to read. You might want to edit those and change them so they're white letters instead. Quote Link to comment
writeandleft 155 Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 This might be a theme issue. I don't really change anything about the text or background. Quote Link to comment
kingdark 5 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 But why are some of the letter white, while the few other posts are black / dark grey? I mean, that shouldn't happen... Quote Link to comment
writeandleft 155 Posted April 11, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2023 Another chapter at just over three years. Yay. I wrote it quite some time ago, but never got around to posting it, but apparently there is a competing story on another forum. I guess I should be flattered if someone wants to write fanfic of my story. Apparently not reading messages here for two month was long enough to take my lack of response for permission. Chapter Thirty-Three Church I woke up the next morning with Cassie pressed closely against me. “I love you, Milton,” she said and grabbed my hand and pressed it to her chest. I pulled my hand away. “Wake up, Cassie,” I hissed. “It’s me, Nora.” She opened her eyes and then stared at me. Then she pushed herself away. “Where am I?” she asked. “We are at Kara’s house. It’s time to wake up anyway,” I said. “I’ll let you have a shower first.” She rubbed her eyes. “Sorry, I dreamed that I was in bed with Milton.” She shoved her hand in her diaper and smiled. “At least I am dry.” I stood up and wet my diaper. “Then I’ll take the first shower.” I put on a robe, grabbed my stuff, and headed to the bathroom. After a warm shower, I came back and hunted down a dress. I chose a flowered dress and put that on over panties. “Now, go shower and I’ll pick out an outfit for you.” “I can dress myself, Nora,” she said. She disappeared into the hall. I looked through my bag and pulled out a similar dress to my own. I then played on my phone while I waited for Cassie. She came back and pulled out her black cargo pants with the chains on them and started to pull them on over panties. “It’s Sunday,” I said. “You can’t wear those pants to church.” Cassie looked at me. “What do you mean church?” I pulled out the Stephen’s Family Itinerary and showed her. “We are going to church, then we are going to dinner at the pastor’s house.” Kara opened the door and Cassie grabbed a black t-shirt with a rock band on it over her pants. She gave Cassie a weird look and then looked at me. “You are letting her dress like that at church?” Kara asked me. “And for dinner at the pastor’s house,” said Cassie. I sighed. “We will be discussing wardrobe later.” Kara was still in her pajamas and not making any effort to get ready. “Well I am staying at home and watching cartoons while you guys go to church,” said Kara. “I wonder if Johnny Quest is still on.” She grabbed a DVD box set from a shelf by her bed and held it up. “It is.” I grabbed my backpack, and my extra dress along with the grocery bag containing our dirty diapers and headed out to my car. Cassie followed with her own backpack. “We’ll be back later,” I said. Kara lay down in her bed and grabbed the remote to turn on the TV. “Have fun,” she said ### Once in the car, I confronted Cassie. “You are not wearing that outfit to church.” I pushed the dress toward her. She frowned, but looked at me. “I couldn’t exactly change in front of Kara or she would have known I didn’t have a diaper on.” As I pulled away from Kara’s house, she stripped off her shirt and pulled the dress on over her head. “I am not really a girly girl,” she said and slid her pants down, without unbucking her seatbelt. She folded her pants and shirt and threw them in the back seat. “There is nothing we can do about the combat boots you are wearing,” I said. I wore matching pumps and I thought I looked pretty cute. We pulled into the church parking lot and I found my parent’s car and parked next to them before we went inside. It was about twenty minutes before the service the building was filling up. Everyone else was dressed appropriately, so I was so glad I made Cassie change. She pressed up against me and whispered. “I’ve never been to church. What am I supposed to do?” “Let’s get some coffee and find our seat,” I said. I went over to the refreshment table, grabbed a cup of coffee and put some sugar in it. Cassie made a coffee too and took a sip. “They give our free coffee?” she asked. “Always,” I said. I lead her toward the sanctuary and we collected a bulletin and found a seat near my parents. “Are we allowed to have our drinks in here?” she asked. “Yes,” I said. “Just don’t spill it.” I put my coffee cup in the cupholder in front of me. “You got to tell me what to say,” she said. “I don’t know all this stuff. Do I need to know Latin?” “We don’t say anything,” I said. “And no you don’t need to know Latin. We are evangelicals. At the very least, we are asked to greet each other and then sit back down.” “And what do I say then?” “You know how to greet people,” I said. Soon the service started and I whispered to her. “Just stand up when I stand up and sit down when I do.” She looked uncomfortable, but then the service started. After the service was over she walked out toward lobby with me. “I was worried about nothing,” she said. “I guess I just watch too much TV. The preacher didn’t even have that white thing on his collar like on TV.” “Because we aren’t Catholic,” I said. “For some reason TV churches are always Catholic Churches.” “None of my foster parents took me to church so I didn’t know what to expect. Not that I got to stay home and watch cartoons like Kara.” “Kara’s family doesn’t go to church for some reason,” I said. She smiled. “Are we really eating at the preacher’s house?” I nodded. “As soon as everyone is done talking to each other. I think it will be about fifteen or twenty minutes before everyone leaves and we can make it over to the preacher’s house.” “Do you have directions?” she asked. The preacher lived in the parsonage which was next to the church, but I answered her with, “I think I know the way.” Cassie pulled out her phone. “Just give me the address and I’ll enter it in the GPS, just to be sure.” “I don’t know the address,” I answered. “I do know the way though.” “How can you know the way if you don’t know the address?” I pointed to the parsonage. “Because it’s right there. Where was your GPS going to tell us to go?” She shoved her phone in her purse. “Probably, you have arrived.” She gave me a stern look. “You could have told me though.” “Let’s just walk around until it’s time to start?” I suggested. She shrugged and followed me across the street to where there was a public park. We walked around the path for about fifteen minutes chatting. “So are you really going to keep up with this diaper thing when you could easily go back to the school you really wanted?” Well I have to finish the semester at least,” I said. “Besides, I got a roommate who is decent to me, a guy who kind of likes me, and I found out I am terrible at English. I’ll stick to engineering at MIT even if I do have to convince Bets that I need diapers.” “Thanks,” she said. “I’ve been so stressed out since college started.” “I’ve noticed,” I said. “What’s stressing you out so much. You know everything in class and your relationship with that jerk Milton is okay, unless he is making the bedwetting thing an issue again.” She blush. “He’s not. He’s been pretty cool since you had a talk with him.” “He’d better,” I said. “So what’s stressing you out?” “I don’t know. It’s the hiding stuff,” she said. “I have the threat of Bets putting a stop to this gravy train at any time. She only is there every few weeks, but Veronica and Darla would tell on me if they thought I was a faker. I’m not sure what Bella would do. She and Melody do their own things even though they are roommates. And Melody: anytime her website where she sells individual diapers is going to be linked to her and Bets will wonder where she got the money. She was able to use the additional money to buy actual textbooks while we couldn’t.” “We won’t get caught,” I said. “I asked Melody and she goes by an alias. How do you think she got so much done by herself while her mother babied her for eighteen years? If it makes you feel better, you are worrying so much about it, you might actually start to need diapers.” “Not funny.” “Well, anyway, we should get going. It’s going to start soon.” We arrived at dinner just in time. Oowoah, DrBorderline, Melificentfan and 7 others 7 3 Quote Link to comment

I've always loved this story and your work in general (I've been around a while here and other places...) I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed reading what is (AFAIK) an original spin on the 'diaper school' theme and will read any more, if you decide to do so. Seeing this thread pop back up to the front page is a treat 🙂 Quote Link to comment
