I think you should take her to the doctor (or have her Dad do so) to find out why she is bedwetting. She could be stressed out, or there could be something going on that she doesn't know how to tell her Dad. Please, for her peace of mind and your own, get her help ASAP.

Bedwetting at 9 really isn't all that uncommon. It never hurts to have a dr evaluate the situation but some kids just wet the bed for a long long time.

If she's done it her whole life and you've tried all the normal things like cutting off drinks after 6 pm, having her potty right before bed, etc... and she doesn't have any daytime accidents then it's likely she's a hard sleeper with a small bladder. There are some medications doctors can prescribe to help but unless it was causing other health issues I would probably not choose to medicate my kid. My son wet the bed until he was nearly 12. We did everything, including accupuncture, and he just quit one day soon after that (coincidence or not?)

If it wasn't a common problem, they wouldn't make Good Nights for kids to sleep in!
