I need a gut check on this one from DCUMers. I met up with another mom friend and her kids to hang out near the Washington monument recently. When her 4-year-old son needed to use the restroom, rather than take him to stand in line at the public restrooms, she took him over to a fence surrounding the monument and let him pee right there. I was floored but she was so nonchalant about it I’m wondering if I’m the crazy one?! There were a good number of people on the Mall that day but I don’t think anyone noticed.
Please weigh in here, people! Is this a normal restroom option for my toddler? I mean, at least her kid didn’t poop! |

| 4 yrs old is NOT a toddler. She should have taken him to the bathroom. |

| Not ok unless it’s an emergency. |

OP here. Are you saying it IS okay for a toddler? Her kids are 4 and 2. Mine are 3 and 1. |

Toddler is more understandable. But you said her son was four. |

| Not ok. I’ve seen this at the playground and it’s gross and lazy of the parent. |

PP again - not ok at any age. |

| My boy pees in the woods or trees. Not on the mall, where others could see. |

| I wouldn't do it unless it was a case of the line being too long and I knew if he didn't pee right then he was going to spend the day in pee soaked shorts. |

At what age (if any!) would this stop being ok to you? |
