OP here- the two boys I recently saw do this were 1) at a playground. Stood on wood part of the edge of sandbox, turned body away from play structure and took a piss. This boy was probably 5 or 6. 2) at an outdoor recreation site. This boy was probably 7 and he ran to the gate that surrounded the site, pulled down his pants and took a piss.
Dogs pee anywhere they want true. But aren't we a step above? Please teach your boys to be gentlemen, not dogs. |
Agree that you can't just stop and pee anywhere but behind a tree or bush is fine. Just be discreet. Kids under 10 will hold it when they're having a good time and then it's too late. Id much rather see a child urinating in a bush then having an accident in their pants. They're children. And no, there isn't always a potty close by. |
Ugh pp. So incredibly trashy. |
Baloney. Pee wherever you want. |
No, when you pee on playground mulch it stinks in warm weather. Please be considerate of others. I was at the Hardy Playground the other day and this nanny instructed a 4 year old to piss on a bush b/c she was chatting with her friends and didn't want to walk the 5 feet to the bathrooms. Gross. |
My 2-year-old twins are newly potty trained. There is no way they can wait for 15 minutes until we get home before they pee. We find a tree and they pee there. |
No, they are not potty trained. |
Seriously PP?
I think you're good to go, 15:31. And congrats to your LOs! |
yeah. Because of gravity it almost always falls to the ground ![]() |
I just took my son to the edge of a wooded area about an hour ago to pee. He is 4 and we were eating lunch outside and the nearest bathroom was minutes away (restaurants and church very nearby but still a walk and the church was locked/unfamiliar to us). When he has to go he has to go. I felt kinda bad, especially since we were adjacent to a church, but I shielded him and let him go because he would have had an accident in a minute or two. In a year or so this won't happen anymore. |
Yes, I don't have penis envy, but I do have pee envy. (But actually I have also taught my girls how to pee in the bushes. This is a skill that everybody needs to know.) |
Huh? They pee in potties and against trees. No diapers. No accidents, well unless we can't find a tree. |
I try to use a foldable potty with liners, even when there are discreet bushes available- because it is still a public park.
In fact I hate it that dogs are allowed to pee in parks. But what can I do. Of there's no potty, a tree or bushes will do. |
Our soccer coach is so sick of kids having to pee during the middle of the game he send them all to the tree line to pee. I have the cutest picture of the whole team peeing. |
HAHA. That sounds hilarious. Only women would worry about something like this. If it were left up to men, kids would be out in the yard peeing away and dads would make potty training the funnest sport in the world. |
