I had a hard time not laughing at this one, forgive me, I am an old mom and I realize you are new to the game. This is so normal in children, especially boys. They get so busy and occupied that they pee their pants sometimes. It isn't weird or an indication of any horrid problem. Dadfor2 hit it right on.
The answer you got as to why is his little reason that he thinks sounds good or more acceptable, don't diagnose and treat something that doesn't exist. If he is lying it is because somehow he does not feel safe telling you the truth. Do you get angry when he has an accident? If you want the truth from your child, you must provide an environment where he feels safe to be honest. Children lie out of fear.
My question is why only at mother in laws? lucyjoy pointed out there may be something scary in her bathroom, could be, but more than likely he either feels very comfortable there or very stressed there if it does not happen at home. That would be my only concern, ...stress.
When I was little and had to stay in the hospital at 5 yrs old for a week, I wet the bed everynight out of fear of the nurses I didn't know or like, I just couldn't call those mean women to help me. Little children have fears that to them are very real and powerful sometimes. That's just kids.
Bed wetting is also the norm for many... as Dad again pointed out, some children's bladders just grow more slowly than they do. Bed wetting out of emotional disturbance is something else and is marked by dry periods of approx 3 mos. A child with immature bladder development will wet the bed consistently.
Relax, your child is very "normal"
