To wee whilst carrying DS?

25 replies

Gemjar · 07/07/2011 20:26

Not really a serious query, but I was thinking today what if I am out with DS in his sling and nature calls?

WIBU if I were to just go with him right there in the sling or is that a bit gross?

I used to

Paschaelina · 07/07/2011 20:27

I do it all the time. Needs must, and all that, besides, what would you do with him, put him on the toilet floor?

catgirl1976 · 07/07/2011 20:27

Sounds fine to me

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 07/07/2011 20:30

He won't care so why should you?

over thinking a little maybe, he's spent nine months tucked up next to your vital organs a bit of wee won't hurt.

I do it with my DS. DH has done it too when carrying him in the open air.
Try it with him out of the sling and you will have fun! And not be able to get your trousers done back up

bumpybecky · 07/07/2011 20:32

I used to, but be careful of the tails if he's in a wrap sling.....

DoMeDon · 07/07/2011 20:32

YANBU - DD often sits on my lap while I'm on toilet.

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 07/07/2011 20:34

As long as you stop doing it by the age of about 26

LostMyIdentityAlongTheWay · 07/07/2011 20:35

Um... I nearly had sex whilst mei-teing my DS2.

So I don't think weeing is such a biggie, I have to say!

lol, i'm not really concerned about it tbh, I just thought about it as it seemed a bit strange that it hadn't come up already.

I have this image of me looking at DS whilst weeing and him giving me a 'wtf are you doing?' expression

I thought it was just part of motherhood to wee with one child on your lap and another banging on the door.

LineRunner · 07/07/2011 20:43

I've gone for a wee whilst on the phone to my dad.

He didn't know, though.

But he goes on for hours ...

Also I've opened a winebox whilst on the phone to my dad and drunk about half of it. It was like playing the alcoholic bagpipes.

He didn't know about that, either.

I just tell him I'm emptying the tumble drier.

absolutely fine. Have peed whilst holding one of the DSs. Cant exactly lay them on the floor of the loo

smokinaces · 07/07/2011 20:47

Gemjar, I dont get to pee in peace at all. In fact DS1 and 2 (5 and 3) often sit and chat to me (not my choice!!) whilst I am peeing/pooing. I have had them giving me sanitary products before as well!!

They are just starting to get the idea that Mummy needs some alone time!!!

hugeleyoutnumbered · 07/07/2011 20:50

not sure I can pee without an audience anymore

HipHopOpotomus · 07/07/2011 20:53

I do it. Sometimes even parents just gotta go!

HipHopOpotomus · 07/07/2011 20:55

smoking I told my 3yo I'm a big girl and can go on my own thanks! And it worked

Daydreaming · 07/07/2011 21:06

My dd is 5 and she has only recently decided to give me some privacy while doing a poo!!!
She used to love sitting on my lap while I was on the toilet!!!! I think it's all perfectly normal and natural....

fuzzpig · 07/07/2011 21:09

Don't see anything wrong with it. Didn't use slings much, but at home both DCs have often been on my lap.

DH takes DS (22m) up for a wee with him, although it's almost got a bit icky when DS tried to grab hold of the stream :o

Pippinintherain · 07/07/2011 21:11

I once had a wee in a public toilet while back carrying my toddler.

I ended up getting loo roll wrapped around my head

tinkertitonk · 07/07/2011 21:16

As long as you drop your drawers first.

ChocolateIsAFoodGroup · 07/07/2011 21:24

Wait until your DS can talk 'Mummy, are you bleeding? Why? Does it hurt? Can I see? Can I look? What is that you are putting up your vagina?'

(And later, while I'm serilising my diva cup: 'What is that? What are you doing? Can I stir it? - I was boiling it on the stove; I think he thought I was cooking something....)

Weird enough? Do I win a prize?!

QueeferSutherland · 07/07/2011 21:24

Much better than going in a public toilet when you haven't got a sling; you can't put them on the floor and jeans are a bitch to do up one handed.

Blatherskite · 07/07/2011 21:32

DD regularly demands to sit on my lap when I'm on the loo at home, across the landing from her room which is stuffed with toys!

Children are weird.
