[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people don’t. My newly potty trained kid really was on the verge of an accident in the public bathroom for one of the commuter ferries in NYC, because the ride was like 30 minutes. No one would let her cut even when I did the apologetic begging thing. I finally held her over the sink. I got a few weird looks but WTF was I supposed to do.

Anyway, even with that experience, I wouldn’t normally let a kid cut me unless they were obviously in distressed or they/their parent asked with explanation. [/quote]

You are disgusting and a bad parent.

What were you supposed to do? Maybe proactively ask your newly potty trained  child every 30 if they need to go to
The bathroom and insist they try about 50% of the time so they don’t get ‘on the verge of an accident’. [/quote]

Thanks? The commute took much longer than it was supposed to. (That's why I referenced the 30 minute ferry ride; it's usually like 10.) There was a bathroom available, but the line was long and my guess is that one of the two bathrooms had someone in it who wasn't leaving, so it was taking longer than usual. She was a 3 year old, so not the world's biggest bladder. She'd been holding it for about 15 minutes at the point she told me she was starting to leak and no one would let her go ahead. I'm actually curious what you would have done that would be less gross than peeing in a sink. We still had a 30 minute commute once the ferry arrived at the station.[/quote]
