| If the lines are long and there’s no other option, ok. He’s pretty little. |

| WTF? At least go off to the side and have him pee in a grove of trees or something. Way to respect our National Mall. |

| I feel like that's about the same as throwing your paper napkins away on the ground on the Mall. |

So not a big deal? Lots of people litter on the Mall. I can’t tell whether this PP thinks it’s a big deal or not. |

| Totally ok. I would've suggested it. The rain washed it all away. Nobody saw, nobody got hurt. Animals pee all over the place. The kids is 4. |

| Yes, it’s ok. A 4 year old still could still hold it till last minute, so it may easily have been an emergency. |

| I would try to be a bit thoughtful, like find a tree or something. Let’s be honest, the mall is so family unfriendly. Restrooms are poorly marked and hard to get to. Personally, I try to plan as much as I can to avoid these scenarios, but if a tree is an option vs hiking half a mile with two kids... |

| I think it’s disgusting for kids over 3. Under 3 and it’s an absolute emergency then maybe, depends on more info. |

A park? No big deal.
Not in the Mall surrounded by museums and monuments. Potty training toddler who doesn’t make it on the way? More forgivable. There was a recent post about a mom who got ticketed because her toddler peed in the parking lot. |

Gross. And bad parenting. |

It’s not something to be proud about. But is this something to get exercised about, for a toddler? NO. |

| You're just jealous he can pee standing up! |

| What would you all say if it was a preschool group and you saw a teacher allowing her student to do that? |

She'd be crucified. |
