Park poo

Feeling cocky and walked/scooted 20mins to a park with (between us) 5 kids age 4-6, dog and no bag of supplies (idiots).

No toilets and one child needs a poo.

What do you do?

I said child should poo on discreet bit of grass and we’d pick up with a dog poo bag and bin.

Friend wanted me to watch all kids and dog while she ran home, got car and travel potty and drove back to park.

Speaking to my mum this evening she said she would have knocked on at a local house and asked to use the loo.

Child soiled himself before we could act so options were moot really, but WWYD? Besides not forgetting the bag of stuff next time.

Seems like half of the people in this thread have never met a 4 year old! When they gotta go, they gotta go!

Perfectly reasonable to allow a poo in a quiet leafy corner, taken away in a dog poo bag.

I have a vivid 30-year-old memory of being in a park and my mum holding my then 3 year old brother up so he could poo, only for him to unleash a fountain of diarrhoea. We swiftly went home after that.

You can't ask a total stranger to use their loo for a poo!

Right! That's the craziest thing I have ever heard.

Going behind a bush or in a quiet leafy corner and then bagging and binning it was the best option.

Knocking on strangers' doors asking to take a dump in their toilet is really not on. No chance at all I'd allow someone I didn't know into my house for that, no matter what age they were. I would give them short shrift.
