[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it a dealbreaker?[/quote]

Not OP, but portapotties make me dry heave. Not just me using them but helping my kids use them. So total deal breaker for em. And I sit on public toilets without one of those stupid paper things. I am not a germaphobe, but the smell of waste and strong disinfectant makes me hurl. [/quote]

NP.
This PP and others freaking out about portapotties will make their kids worried and uptight about them too. Hope your kids don't want to go to any camp that uses unplumbed toilet blocks or portapotties. Yes, even in our "civilized" area and not out in the sticks. Do you all think that camps provide flush toilets? My DC was on staff for a camp right here in the NOVA suburbs and it uses toilets that are over pits--not plumbed, flush toilets. And the kids' duties include sweeping out the toilet blocks and replacing paper etc. The universe doesn't have sewer lines everywhere you want them to be.

Your kids will pick up your antipathy toward smells and simply assume that they too will feel sick if they get a whiff of waste. I get it--the smell can be awful. But unless you actually do hurl--frankly, learn to hold your breath better or do what some camps have kids do: Fill a tiny container, one with a flip-top lid, with a cotton ball soaked in an essential oil you like and keep it with you on a string around your neck. Open it when you're in the portapotty. But I'm betting you'll think that's too much work.

Amazing how people let a few minutes of unpleasantness take precedence over hours of potential fun events. [/quote]
