AIBU if you have a two year in nappies and they do a stinking poo on the bus do you get off?

Just wondering as this happened yesterday.

A mum got on with a toddler about 20-24 months old ,who did the poo face and burst into tears (poor wee girl) however the smell was awful.

We got off the bus early (because of the smell) but the person with me thought IWBU to ask us to leave the bus and the mum should have been the one to leave.

My point was it was easier for us to get off as she had a two year old. His argument was if he had trodden in dog muck and was stinking out the bus he would expect a passengers to ask him to leave

He is being unreaseonable isn't he!

I was once stuck on a long haul flight with a woman who was fully mobile ( just done a holiday in my hotel), who wore pads, I spent a lot if time in the toilet spraying perfume in my wrist and then sniffing it until the smell took over again

You have my sympathies, I can deal with smells (was a healthcare assistant too ) but that's one smell I can't deal with for some reason.

If someone had trodden in dog poo I doubt they'd be asked to leave.

I was paying in m&s food hall today and the bloke paying beside me stank of shit. I'm a midwife and am good at not retching normally but I was silently boaking the smell was that bad. When I first smelt it I looked at him and his clothes were smeared in faeces. He called one of the assistants over to help him and she must have noticed but never said anything.

No way would I have got off the bus if my child had pooed. I'd have continued home or to the nearest suitable changing place, whichever was best.

Your son hopes to be a dad one day. He will then have to get used to some of the smells that come with it. Babies and toddlers don't poo to order. In fact, they usually do it in the most inconvenient place. It goes with the territory of being a parent.

I know. I did think he might have mental health issues of some sort.
