It is to me!

Me too. None of our parks have bathrooms, and there's no way my newly potty trained kid will make it back home. I see them all the time at the playgrounds around my house.

If your kid can't hold it well enough to be out, they're not potty trained.

If you MUST use those little potties, which I think are revolting, do it in the trunk of your car.

+1 how did all our moms potty train without the use of those little potties? It is not necessary. However, if you need to bring a portable potty, then bring it to the trunk of your car. Do not set it up on the playground. It’s rude and not how the world works. The bathrooms don’t come to you, you walk to them.

Potty training is a PITA. If I can unclench a little and make it easier for another parent, then I'm happy to do so. It may seem unproper and hysteria inducing, but it's not any grosser than dogs pooping and peeing in public and is pretty unavoidable if you live in the city and don't drive to the playground. If I saw another parent with a potty at the playground (in a low traffic area, not set up next to the swings), I'd wish them luck and continue on with my day. But maybe that's why I live in the city and not in exurbs, to avoid pearl clutchers like you.

I am not a pearl clutter at all. I have potty trained my kids and I know it’s a pain. I am wondering how Mother’s have done it in the past without a portable potty?

Not going to the park at all? Beating?

I can only speak for myself, but as someone who raised and potty trained my kid before portable potties seemed to be a thing we did

-- didn't go to the park in the first 2 or 3 days when we were sorting it out.

-- those thicker cotton underpants so things were a little more contained.

-- carried extra clothes.

It wasn't really a big deal. We had a couple accidents, cleaned them up, and then the phase was older.

Having said that, I don't have a problem with a potty at the park, but I do think that wearing something besides a shirt is a reasonable expectation in a public place like a playground.

PP here, just adding that I wouldn't have reservations about putting my kid in a long T shirt, and playing out front with the potty either right inside the open front door or in a somewhat sheltered place along the side of the house.
