My son has been doing this as well. He is 14, it’s not all the time but his excuse is he hates the dark, but there is a night lite in there who knows why these boys do this
First check if there is a medical reason for it. If there is not, then play a trick on him. Leave somewhere he can see a bottle of apple juice, he will use it to pee, next morning put the pee in a glass and tell him you served him the apple juice you found in his room. Sure enough he will stop doing it 
I would take away tv and electronics starting with 24 hours and go up each occurrence.

I’d tell him if I found one more piss bottle he would have all his sh!t taken away. When he gets his own house he can piss in bottles.

Ugh mine does this too and he started at about the same age as yours. He said it was because he was scared of the dark so i got a flashlight for him left lights on etc. But he still does it every now and again a year and a half later.
Break this crap so their wives don’t have to deal with it. Lazy ones will probably still be doing it in their freaking dorm rooms. Epitome of laziness.

Take a bottle of his pee and get a bottle of apple juice and sit both bottles in front of him and tell him to pick one, say "one is your pee son and the other is juice, pick wisely " and let him know this game will continue long as he keeps peeing bottles or anything else other than the toilet.

It’s totally a boy thing! Mine is 13 and has been doing it off and on for the last 2 years! One it could be the dark or two they lazy and don’t want to stop what they’re doing to go pee! I told my kid you do it YOU clean it up I’m not! So if it spills you cleaning it and then his friends can joke on him for his room smelling like pee! He started going to the bathroom after that!
Have you asked HIM why he does it? You only said what YOU thought the reason was, but if you ask him why he does it, that would give you an idea of how to handle it. Also does he play video games or watch a lot YouTube? I’ve seen where gamers would pee in things other than the toilet to keep from interrupt game play

My stepson used to do that for as long as I’ve lived with him (8-19 years old). The first time I found out my 9 year old did it I whooped his but & grounded him. I rarely spank him (1-3 times a year). But I wasn’t going to go through that again. So sorry you are going through this.

My son pees in bottles and one of them grew piss mushrooms.
The end.
Literal piss mushrooms.
He’s about to be driving … maybe he’s growing himself a little “fun guy” to be his road dog?
I’ll be in the corner.
Correct this behavior. Show your disgust and publicaly humiliate him. My ex used to do this. I would get in the car and there would be 3 pee bottles sitting on the floor sometimes the same one for weeks

Take him to a doctor. I raised 2 boys and they never did this, but I have friends whose sons have done this. He had to of learned this behavior somewhere maybe he saw his dad or a grandfather do it. If it’s medical maybe he can’t hold his urine long enough to make it to the bathroom, it might be a bladder issue & not a control issue.

Sounds like some therapy may be in order… there is a name for this, I forget what it is, but sooner rather than later he needs some help.
I’m really unsure which way to answer this. My first thought was perhaps he has a medical issue, but that still doesn’t mean it’s okay to pee in bottles and hide them. And then there’s this…where did he get this idea? In trying to consider what we would have done when our son was this age, after having the conversation once the surprises were found, we would have discussed it openly (as we always did with any subject on an age appropriate level) if we found this again, we would have to discipline for not following our talk about not doing it and explanation. I should preface this by saying that if there was no explanation from him, no complaints of symptoms of infection, etc. we would be having a doctors visit to rule out anything medical. From our experience, at this age our son was starting to test limits, picking up on bad habits and other things his friends talked about. We knew him well enough that he understood when we talked about it that it should stop. If the doctor clears your son from any kind of medical reasons, it’s time to figure out how you are going to approach this. Is it a behavioral issue?? Is he gaming and doesn’t want to stop long enough to go to the restroom? Whatever your discipline approach is for your family, time to enforce it and follow through. No food or drinks in the bedroom, take the door off his bedroom, limit gaming, and if he needs privacy, he can go to the bathroom for it.
I would change up your stance and say he can owe in the bottle but he must dump it or trash it in the morning, not hide it.
The thing about kids is they need some sense of control. This is actually not a big deal at all. As long as he puts the lid back on and throws it away. I’m gonna guess he’s tired and doesn’t want to get up. Eventually he’ll outgrow it and if he doesn’t, so what? Peeing in a bottle is the least of your worries. I’ve been a mom for 19 years this June. Somethings you just have to let go of or ride out.
Stop buying water bottles or any bottle of any kind

So I never really comment in the group but my son is 11 and he did this over the past year. We tried to find the root of the problem, and it turns out that it is just simple laziness. I have never heard of any kid peeing in bottles before but turns out it isn’t all that uncommon, I thought there was something wrong with my son but found out that most mamas I know have had at least one son that has done it. I know it is frustrating and gross but all you can do is continue to stress your disgust, lecture him, and be patient because it will eventually stop.

My fiancé, as a man, said boys and men do this pretty commonly, he said sometimes it’s a lazy thing (my nephew has peed his pants to keep playing games) sometimes it’s because they just can. A dog licks its balls because it can, same concept. If you are really worried I would have his doctor look into it but if they say nothings wrong, more than likely you won’t be able to force him to stop, he’s just a little boy being a little boy and he’ll find another way or move on to other things. I think some of y’all are thinking into it too deep.
He said it can also be a habitual thing after a while, because of living in places where the bathroom may be full frequently, road trips, etc.
My aunt sons did this before video games was a thing. They made a room in the attic and was too lazy to come down to pee.
This can be a hallmark of emotional disturbances… please don’t spank or humiliate him… talk to him about why and if it doesn’t make sense get him into therapy… it can be the precursor to adhd/ oppositional defiance disorder… or it can be laziness… peeing is one thing… keeping it is another…

Is he getting in trouble over some thing or told he’s not allowed to leave the room once it’s bed time? Twice in three years I discovered my daughter was scared to leave the bedroom late at night Bc her father yelled at her for getting up from bed constantly, after getting after her and her sister several times earlier that evening. (She was 5 at the time Of the first occurrence, 7 second occurrence) so, it was hours past bed time and each of them had been taking turns getting up from bed to get water/snack/itchy/hot! whatever u name it. Eventually dad got frustrated and said ,” if anyone gets up one more time! They will sleep by themselves with no lights on and they will be grounded and spanked! I don’t care what reason you have I’m going to just spank you and separate u both, even if it’s just one kid doing it! Do not get up again!”….So any way, Weeks later we couldn’t figure out why the room smelled of pee and who knows what else. We were blaming the poor dogs 
one day I decided to search and deep clean and shampoo rugs etc. Guess what I found? A birthday gift bag full of 
and peed on. With new clothes in the bag still. 
the second occurrence was similar, only that time she soiled some towels from the pool that day and Hid them in the closet under bins of Toys. Both times were Bc she was afraid to get punished by dad for needing to pee. Upsetting and sad and gross all in one. He’s never even spanked them btw, it takes a lot of patience to get him that upset to even threaten consequences , & just the fear of getting a spanking is enough tbh.

People saying he needs therapy 
when did you know something was wrong well judge he started peeing in bottles !
Don’t be so silly man this is laziness or just typical gross boy behavior! I would tell him that you will take them into school and show his friends he probs isn’t taking u seriously it’s a bottle that can be binned Hese just thinking yeh yeh mum just bin it !! Takes just as long to pee in a bottle than it would take to go to the loo as well so I’m not getting some of the logic here . I think you need to be firm but fair tell him it is absolutely disgusting and you will not tolerate it again ,obviously keeping lights on and do have him checked for uti etc but wow people don’t half read into things

It’s a common problem…make sure he cleans it the next morning by emptying it in the toilet and washing the bottle. He will stop on his own eventually.

Most boys do this at one point or another, it’s nothing to worry about he will grow out of it. I can’t even say what the fascination was, maybe just seeing how much came out vs how much water I drank. The only harm that will come out of it is someone making a big deal out of it and trying to embarrass him.

I think its laziness, I think when he wakes he just can’t be bothered to get out of bed. I have a 7 year old boy and ever since he was toilet trained especially on a night hes always gotten up even when he was younger he would come into our room and wake us so we could take him to the toilet

Definitely a boy thing. They learn they can go in a bottle or think the closet is some secret place and don’t realize it’s going to end up smelling. Have him empty the bottles and explain human waste being a biohazard as much as possible. Laziness and boy parts are something else.

My brother used to do this at his age. He grew out of it eventually
This isn’t anything a mother wants to think about but little boys discover that different things feel good to them and it’s possible that he is getting pleasure from putting his thing into a bottle which will lead to serious issues. I heard about a boy getting an erection while he had his penis in a bottle and it was stuck. This fella became addicted to doing that and then that mother kept finding bottles of semen. Nip this in the bud really quick somehow someway.
Literally just saw this on a Netflix show. He peed in bottles so he didn’t have to leave his room while the parents partied

I’m sorry this is not laziness I’ve lived this still live this, you need to talk to his doctor immediately and get him into therapy don’t do what I did and just think he will grow out of it. It’s a sign he has depression or something else mentally going on. Please don’t be blind to this!

Take him to doctors it could be a urine infection or somthing else wich is causing him to need to pee straight away. So not being able to hold it long enough to go to bathroom. If this is the case he’s doing his best not to pee him self. Could also be laziness or somthing psychological but boys don’t like talking about personal stuff so u never know xx as a side note I knew an adult that had problems with his bladder and did the peeing in a bottle from teens because of it hence why its likely to be bladder related xx
Not normal ! My son did it once 
in a cup 
in the bathroom. And tried denying it I don’t know why he did it or what he was planning to do with it
Definitely take him a Dr that is not normal could be more going on

Get him a toddler potty and put it in his room. Make him pour it out in the mornings until he wants to act like a big boy and use the big boy potty. If he feels like he’s being treated like a baby he may stop doing that especially if his friends come over and see it… If it doesn’t stop maybe you might could try something deeper like therapy or something. If it is laziness you will find out quick.

Give him a consequence for doing it. No need to over explain. You say we have a toilet and that’s where you pee if I see one more bottle in your closet then this is what happens…
And if he does it again then you follow thru…or if you feel it’s the sign if something bigger depression, or other mental health/ social disorder mention it to his pediatrician but definitely address it.

Basically it’s pure laziness because if hes not scared of the dark hes just too lazy to get his butt out of bed and use the actual bathroom. Check his room before bedtime and make sure there’s no bottles in there also I would probably stop buying water bottles and get filtered water so that you have to use cups or reusable bottles instead. By eliminating the bottles you are preventing him from using that period
My ex husband used to pee in bottles at night because he was too lazy to get up…it might just be that…

Tell him when they go into the garbage they wind up being thrown into the ocean and so if he doesn’t stop all of the turtles and fish will be chugging down his pee and the ocean will be nothing but pee in the next 10 years lmaoo jk

What does he say when you ask him why he is doing it? Maybe he is embarrassed to tell you, so print out a checklist of possible reasons he may be doing it and ask him to check off the reason/reasons, and then leave the answers for you. Then discuss his answers with him in a calm manner.
