"You can't go to the playground until you start pooping in the potty"

Subject: Pooping at the playground
I'm late to this thread, but I wanted to chime in. OP, this was how my first kid was: we got to a point where we had no urine accidents (very few) but every time we went to a park, he'd poop his pants. He was three, and slow to toilet train, but we had this problem linger. I found that at the park was where he felt free and where he felt like he had the privacy. If you watched him, he didn't do it. The moment he was out of eye sight: runs behind a tree, crawls in a tunnel, ducks under a slide, he's got a load of poop in his underwear. We wanted to go back to pull ups or at least do pull ups at the park, but he didn't want to. We went through a 2-3 month period where he would poop in his pants every time and it was gross. But he stopped when we started cutting park trips short. We did try putting a potted plant in the bathroom, but it didn't matter. We bribed him to do poop in the toilet and worked on him understanding that his body wasn't falling off when the poop came out. It's a gross time, but it will pass. Ours didn't do it at daycare, only at the public park. Pull ups for the park seem like a good compromise and chances are, he'll be fine by January.

I'm just reading this and realizing: this is one of the reasons potty training is so hard. People have such weirdly intense feelings about it, and so many people disagree. Like I've heard people say that a child in diapers over the age of 2 or 2.5 is "gross" -- it's a common attitude on here because people are very in favor of early training. But now we see people who think the portable potties are gross and inappropriate. Of course, if you train early, you pretty much have to use a portable potty, because as PP's have noted, kids that age can't hold it for however long it will take you to find a bathroom. And if you don't use a portable potty, you pretty much have to train later when your kid has more ability to wait for a potty when you are out of the house.
Maybe it's just that potty training involves poop and pee and is, by nature, kind of gross, and maybe we should all cut each other some slack instead of shaming one another for the somewhat unpleasant aspects of teaching our kids to put waste in a toilet? Like maybe diapers are kind of gross AND portable potties are kind of gross and everyone is just trying the best they can.

+1, totally. How dare you allow your child to use a potty on the grass...that dogs poop on all day, every day.
Is it ok for a 10 yo old to do? What about a grown man? Human beings defecate in private. Not public. Stop treating your child like an animal.
So, you see no difference between a toddler and a grown adult?
You’re creepy.
It is all disgusting. Stop treating your child like an animal and maybe he will stop acting like one.
You really are creepy. These are toddlers using a clean travel potty. That you stare at two-year-olds using a travel potty is really beyond creepy.
Human beings should not poop in public. Animals do. Be better.
I mean, human beings DO poop in public before they're potty trained. Like, all the time and at the most inconvenient times (in my experience). In the grocery store, at the playground, on airplanes, in the waiting room at the doctor's office, you name it. This parent is having trouble potty training. So, her kid will likely continue pooping in public until over the hump of potty training. This all sound perfectly developmental normal for a tiny human.
It is not developmentally normal for a grown woman to carry around a potty so her kid can go in front of everyone. Please.
It’s a foldable travel potty, for a 2.5 year old. The poop goes directly into a liner that gets thrown into a garbage can. Once it’s in there, it’s no less disgusting than dog poop.
I can’t believe people hate on the travel potty! My kids both had a period of time where they were fully trained but didn’t have that long to get to a potty especially for #2. We put the potty in the back of our CRV or on behind the car for privacy when we could. But for one kid this was during 2020 and finding a open public bathroom could take 30 minutes! I have no regrets. It was a short developmental period for both of them and one I view similarly to a public diaper change; it just happens sometimes even though you try to avoid it.

Just keep your kids in diapers til he’s fully trained-please. It’s so much better to err on the side of hygiene than to brag that your “interested” kid was toilet trained at 2.5 (which he really wasn’t.)

Too bad.
The fact that it's a child doesn't change the fact that it is rude, disgusting, lazy and unnecessary. Then what do you do with the poop? bag it and bring it home? This is insane. Just put a diaper on your kid if he's not potty trained.

Its not in front of everyone- or at least not in my case. No one is putting the potty under the slide and letting Larla have a go. It is usually by the cars or in the SUV trunk. Its not right out in the open.

No one is staring weirdo. Stop letting your kid poop at the park. Or use a freakin diaper. Disgusting.
NO! I am not going to stop. No matter how much it bothers you. In fact, I hope my kid needs to use it more!
Of course you will. That is why your kid asks the way he does.
You’ll be in adult diapers is just a few years!!
