HAHA. That sounds hilarious. Only women would worry about something like this. If it were left up to men, kids would be out in the yard peeing away and dads would make potty training the funnest sport in the world.

I try to use a foldable potty with liners, even when there are discreet bushes available- because it is still a public park.
In fact I hate it that dogs are allowed to pee in parks. But what can I do.
Of there's no potty, a tree or bushes will do.

No, they are not potty trained.

Huh? They pee in potties and against trees. No diapers. No accidents, well unless we can't find a tree.

Yes, I don't have penis envy, but I do have pee envy.

(But actually I have also taught my girls how to pee in the bushes. This is a skill that everybody needs to know.)

I just took my son to the edge of a wooded area about an hour ago to pee. He is 4 and we were eating lunch outside and the nearest bathroom was minutes away (restaurants and church very nearby but still a walk and the church was locked/unfamiliar to us). When he has to go he has to go. I felt kinda bad, especially since we were adjacent to a church, but I shielded him and let him go because he would have had an accident in a minute or two. In a year or so this won't happen anymore.

Seriously PP?

I think you're good to go, 15:31. And congrats to your LOs!

No, when you pee on playground mulch it stinks in warm weather. Please be considerate of others.

I was at the Hardy Playground the other day and this nanny instructed a 4 year old to piss on a bush b/c she was chatting with her friends and didn't want to walk the 5 feet to the bathrooms. Gross.

Baloney. Pee wherever you want.

Ugh pp. So incredibly trashy.

Agree that you can't just stop and pee anywhere but behind a tree or bush is fine. Just be discreet. Kids under 10 will hold it when they're having a good time and then it's too late. Id much rather see a child urinating in a bush then having an accident in their pants. They're children. And no, there isn't always a potty close by.

OP here- the two boys I recently saw do this were 1) at a playground. Stood on wood part of the edge of sandbox, turned body away from play structure and took a piss. This boy was probably 5 or 6. 2) at an outdoor recreation site. This boy was probably 7 and he ran to the gate that surrounded the site, pulled down his pants and took a piss.

Dogs pee anywhere they want true. But aren't we a step above? Please teach your boys to be gentlemen, not dogs.
