Why dident the producers make willis a bedwetter since he was a teenager in season 1 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I never understood why they made arnold a bedwetter in season 1 he was only 8 years old that was normal for kids that age to have problems going to the bathroom, it would have made more since to have willis pretend that he is a bedwetter instead of his little brother arnold since he was 13, for example willis could be pretending to wet his bed to get mr drummond to give him more attention then arnold and his daughter kimberly.

no little kids or more prone to wet the bed than teens because show started willis was like 13 thats a teenager so why would he do it plus arnold never wet the bed he wanted more attention and he read it in a book that bed wetting would get him more attention so he pretended to do it by pouring water on his sheets. The only one who really did it was SAM in the later seasons

Willis could still have a bladder problem at 13 he was still a kid he could have made mr drummond spoil him more by putting water on his bed, willis was sneaky he could have fooled drummond easily lol

Most kids stop wetting the bed by age six or seven. That's just a general age obviously but if a kid is 13 and still wetting the bed, (s)he either has a physical or mental problem. It would have made zero sense for the writers to have a teenager (Willis) act like he's wetting the bed to get attention. I don't think there's a teenager out there that would revert back to little kid behavior to get attention. An 8 year old on the other hand would.

No. I am glad they left Willis alone. I don't see Willis having a bed wetting problem. Neutro, they did it right by giving he SL to Arnold.

If Willis would have had a bed-wetting problem at age 13 I would assume it would have something to do with the death of his mother and his emotional and mental state as the result of that.

Yeah it would have made better since for willis to be a bedwetter at 13 since his mom died drummond would get him a therapist to help him overcome the bed wetter problem it could have been a great drama episode, but nothing like the bicycle man episodes creepy
