My parents always to go before but he always goes during the night and his bed has an awful stench that my mom has to clean every day... He is 13.. why is this happening to him... he says he can't control it and is embarrased of us humiliating him if we ask him... What is wrong/ How can you prevent this?

Answer:

Its cuz you are busy hogging the bathroom putting on your make up. Face it... no amount of Cover Girl is gonna fix that face!!! Let the boy take a leak!

Well, at 13, I'd be pondering whether to get him Pampers or Depends...

stretch that little tally wacker and tie it in a knot!

did he have a sudden growht spurt, if so his bladder hasnt caught up with him

You might want to ask a doctor for an opinion.

I think mentioning it to him only embarrasses him and might contribute to him doing it more. Sounds like there are some emotional issues that he needs to address. Maybe you can talk to your mom about making an appointment for him to talk with a counselor. Are there things going on in his life causing a lot of stress? Pressure? Parents not getting along, etc? All of these things can impact your brother (and you). Mom needs to help him by talking with him or getting him some professional help. Give him support. This is serious -- and very embarrassing for him. Let him know you love him and you want to help him overcome this.

he needs to go see a doctor or don't let him drink anything after 8pm

I don't what you mean by "go". You're old enough to use real words. If you mean urinate, he may have nocturnal enuresis. It's involuntary but can be controlled by medication and/or psychological therapy and his bed can be protected by a rubber sheet and incontinence undergarments. The cause must be determined and this will, in turn, determine treatment. It will most likely be either psychological or organic (physical).
