I know a guy who rubbed his dogs nose in it when he peed on the floor, and then threw the dog out the window, after a while the dog peed on the floor and jumped out the window!
I suppose I should be outraged at this, but what I feel is a sense of relief that my parents never reacted to my own enuresis this way…probably because my mother’s father had the same problem and was punished for it. It was really punishment enough that I could never stay overnight at a friend’s.
As for it’s being ‘abuse’ and deserving of condemnation…I’m thinking of Nathaniel Branden’s reminder that ‘your parents had parents, too’, and somewhere along the line you always have some parents that don’t know any better. Until someone goes to the enormous effort of taking responsibility to learn the right way to handle some behavioral problem, nothing’s going to change. Luke 23:34.
Yes, it’s amazing how many “cures” and behavioral corrections that are passed down through generations, for both children and animals, are simply just stupid, cruel, unproductive, to say the least, and basically very abusive.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Mr. Hilburn has a mob of Social Warriors with pitchforks and torches on his front lawn soon. Yes, you don’t cure bed wetting, you grow out of it. But get a grip Karens and Melvins it just a poor joke.
Having been a former bed wetter, it was not pleasant for me. I finally grew out of it, but I was a very sound sleeper and just didn’t wake up in time. Ugh. Fortunately none of my kids or grandkids suffered with this.

It’s those kinds of cures that cause the wetting in the first place. It’s called abuse.

The mother of a friend of mine was in an orphanage in the 20s, and that was done to her. She was also slapped in the ear so hard she lost her hearing.
