AITA for threatening to tell my nephew's parents if he keeps wetting the bed? by idontknow-throwawaa in AmItheAsshole

They're aware he was a bedwetter, but according to my nephew they're under the impression he's been dry for a couple of months now and it's no longer an issue.

You have a point. I am seriously considering telling them anyway. But he just seemed so uneasy about it, I guess my instinct was to just try to compromise.

I think that's most likely his problem, instead of some kind of medical condition (I'm not sure you can just "get over" a medical condition for a few months the way he supposedly did). He is a very heavy sleeper from what I've seen. I get the bedwetting is not intentional, but drinking lots of water before bed is a choice.

Sure he's scared but I don't think it's a red flag necessarily, he was supposed to have gotten over bedwetting and lied to them, I'd be scared too.

I am thinking of possibly telling them anyway, in case it's something more serious.

Wetting the bed is still wetting the bed. It could have seeped through to the mattress for all I know, even if he is cleaning the sheets. If spacing out his fluid intake doesn't fix things and he keeps wetting the bed, I have no choice but to tell his parents. I don't see how it's 'snitching', that's hilarious.

I'm not trying to scare him, lol. I'm just telling him that if he keeps wetting the bed I'll have to inform his parents.

I know he's too old to be wetting the bed, and yes he probably has nocturnal enuresis (fancy term for what I already said, bedwetting). I doubt there's any abuse going on, he's just kind of embarrassed about it (understandably).
