It cant be because her bladder is so small, becuase she will sleep in her bed(couch bed thingy) for a few hours, or sleep with me for several hours also and she dont pee, and I have made it so small of an area ,then I have taken the cushion and blankets out so she wont pee in it . we were letting her lay on blankets so it wouldnt wet the cushion,but I dont know what to do! please please tell me it will get better, because the thing I feared for so long about getting a dog, is that I wouldn't be able to deal with it and I would break my kids heart and get rid of it, but I do love her, so I dont want to do that..but Im tired already !

Shes probably scared. 8 weeks is really young to be away from its mom already. Have you tried an exercise pen instead of a crate? Maybe she will feel more comfortable in one of those. Capone hates his crate so I use the pen instead and have no problems. Good luck.
