Is peeing in my childs potty unreasonable

[whatsthetimemrswolf]

We run out of milk and it was freezing outside as we walked to the corner shop and back.
When we returned into the house I really needed a pee and sprinted to the bathroom. To my utter dismay I was stopped by my 5 year old little boy who said "I need a poo Mummy"
Shoved to one side I couldn't hold it any longer and sat in the other corner of the bathroom on the potty. (after two children my bladder is not as strong as it used to be. Does anyone have the same dilemma)?
My 2 year old girl then tugged at my trousers and started crying and saying "My potty, my potty. Was I being unreasonable? Should I have done things a different way?

Hahaha. It's a lesson in sharing.

If it's any consolation I have done the same before now! When you gotta go, you gotta go!

I dunno about UR or not but I am super jealous of your bendyness [stiff and non-flxible nearly fifty year old]

Maybe you should have peed in the bath instead. your poor dd, that imagine of her mother sitting on her potty will probably be burned on to her memory for the rest of her life .

Probably better than the memory of mum peeing in the bath or standing there with wet pants...

YANBU, you were demonstrating how to use the potty and showing that it's for everyone :).

this made me laugh. YWNBU.

Ywnbu.

Well it's much better than using the kitchen sink

Been there, done that. Nobody has been traumatised.

YANBU.

Slightly OT, but I kept my DS's Potette (fold down portable potty) for use whilst camping. It's brill for those 3am wees - stand up, shove under (no way I'd be able to sit on it with those fold down legs LOL), do business, tie up bag. Sorted!

YWNBU you might think DD is BU when she tells everyone in the queue at the shop/school/PIL etc that 'mummy did a wee in my potty!'

I had to pee in the bidet once, when grandkid on the loo. Led to an interesting discussion with a three year old as to what the purpose the a bidet is.

I peed in the kitchen sink yesterday. And a neighbour saw me.

I'm crying with laughter!!! Your daughter needs to learn to share!

Melonbreath we need to hear more about that.

i do not think i have the leg muscles to squat on a potty and arse is way too big

i would have peed in the bath :)

:o

melon ??.....

I can't hold my wee - if I need to go, I need to go NOW. So my kids are used to seeing me use their potties.

YWNBU you might think DD is BU when she tells everyone in the queue at the shop/school/PIL etc that 'mummy did a wee in my potty!'

My DD has been broadcasting that 'mummy weed in a bottle'. I thought she might find the midwife appointment interesting, but clearly didn't think it through properly.

I'm impressed at your flexibility and thigh muscles - and I would be too worried about doing a massive wee that was too much for the potty (but then I have a tendency not to notice I need until I need a massive wee).

Someone posted on a different thread that their friend wees in a potty whilst their DC is asleep upstairs - or something like that!?! Now that is weird, OP you were merely caught short and needs must.

Very impressed your bum fit and yep sorry but your DD is going to bring this up at the most inopportune time....be prepared
