quick poll;would you let your son pee in a library parking lot?

[Anonymous]

Everyone has an emergency or an accident at some point. But as a regular thing? No way. With a kid under about 5, I don't ask if they need to go-- I just take them before heading to the car every time, unless we've only been out of he house for less than an hour. And they are required to go before we leave home. I see a parking lot as very different from going off into the woods during a hike far from bathrooms.

All humanity no. Just nasty and likely white people. There's a reason you all infected everyone you came in contact with.

For once I agree with the white people hatet!

Ever been to Beijing? Saw plenty of old guys peeing in the streets when I was there.

That's what I was thinking. Or grab a towel or blanket (there's always something somewhere in the car...), let the kid pee on it, bag it and wash it at home. Pee is easy to wash out of fabric.

Urine is not sterile, even before it comes out of you and gets contaminated by your skin. Bacteria are present at low levels in the urine of healthy people not suffering from a urinary tract infection, Evann Hilt of Loyola University of Chicago reported May 18 at a conference of the American Society for Microbiology.May 22, 2014

No, it's not technically sterile, but it's very very unlikely to make anyone ill. That doesn't change the societal taboo, but it's not actually likely to do any harm.

The type of person disgusting enough to allow her child to urinate in a public place likely has really nasty, disgusting hygiene standards. I would bet her kids are full of all kinds of gross diseases. I feel sorry for the kid, but I don't want him or his urine anywhere near me or my children.

So he's car-trained?

I would not judge another parent with theee small kids if I saw this. Who knows what is going on with them right now.

Hahaha, no. He doesn't ONLY pee on tires. He can use toilets, public and at home. But I always ask him if he has to pee before we get in the car and if he says yes, then I don't walk back into the store/mall/target/library. I just have him pee on the tire.

Holy crapp. WtF is wrong with you?

I really don't get what the big deal is. He's 2.

You're teaching him to relieve himself in the manner that dogs do. It's uncivilized, whatever your justification.

At least he's toilet trained and not walking around with poop in his diaper. How is THAT civilized?

Omg. There is something wrong with you.

Why don't you ask if he needs to go BEFORE you leave the store? Wjy are you waiting until you get to the car?

I did and loved it. And sure- a little boy peeing outside means one thing- the child really had to go. Who begrudges a mom wanting wet grass instead of wet clothes?

If I have 2 other small kids, then chances are that my son is at least 5. At that age I sent him into the bathroom by himself. I would pull close to the entrance and wait for him to come out.

When my oldest was three I had a 2 YO and a baby. I'd wear the baby and put one kid in the chair thing or stroller and take the 3 YO in.

Other times, he would pee behind a tree. It's life.

Grown men do it every round on the golf course.

THIS! This is all it comes down to!

Why not - it already reeks of urine from all the homeless bums who hang out there.
