to take the potty in to wimpys?

[grumpalumpgrumped]

Afternoon out to the seaside with Ds1, DS2 and me and DH. DS2 started potty training last week, was wearing pull ups as long journey and wasn't sure how he would be.

Went for some food, he asked for a wee so took him, this happened twice, both times freaked out about sitting on loo. Under his buggy was an emergency potty (should have put it in a bag), so took this out of buggy and to the loo, then returned it to buggy after cleaning it out. Buggy wouldn't fit in care so was outside.

One man very huffy about it.

Was it really that bad? Granted should have been in a carrier but DS1 never used a potty out so hadn't thought.

I bought it from boots for a tenner.

As a non-parent (yet), I can honestly say that seeing you with your moulded plastic would not have led me to assume that you thought your needs we're more important than mine. My default position would also have been to assume that you had cleaned it after your child had used it - after all mothers have wipes and things don't they? That's why they have such big handbags!! And you had been in a small room that is well known for having both soap and water, on tap as it were. I'd probably actually have been quite sympathetic, thinking about how much easier it is to go out for lunch when it's just me and my husband!

I think most people are nice, understanding and don't just assume that everyone around them is filthy.

If have default assumed it was a clean potty too - because I wouldn't have thought you liked carrying around a dirty potty with you!

Putting it in a bag would ensure no one really knew what you were doing next time.

Ewwww, not only do babies drink milk , but they also wee , I hope your offspring didn't make any noise OP.
Dreadful, whatever is the world coming to!
