To have bagged up DS's poo and put it in the dog poo bin?

[listsandbudgets]

DS is having trouble with potty training but improviing.

This morning I took him and dd to the park to play and have a picnic and 10 minutes after we go there he did a huge poo. I went to use the public toilets but they were so vile - needles and syringes and vomit on the floor and vandalised as well that i took him outside cleaned him up and changed him. I was left with a large lump of poo and wetwipes in a bag so not really wanting to take it home with me decided to put it in the dog poo bin.

Just as I dropped it in a woman came over and said "its only for dog poo you know you haven't got a dog. I ignored her and walked off. I think she knew what I'd done but it was all I could think of. I didn'tt want to risk going iinto the toilets with open sandels on and I'm not sure they would have flushed anyway

WIBU?

Yanbu. Dog poo is more toxic than human poo so If it's ok for dog waste, it's ok for ours.

Yanbu- I did the same once when de was little and desperate for a poo at the park and there were no loos nearby.
Except I didn't have any poo bags and had to pick it up with a spare sock I managed to find in my bag!

How did that bloke physically poo in the dog bin? Every one I've seen would be a pretty awkward job. Actually, I probably don't want to know do I.....

Anyway, no yanbu to put poo in a poo bin. Should have faked suprise and exclaimed 'oh, so toddler poo can go on the ground then? I didn't realize it was a good fertilizer, here have it for your garden'. I would have followed the silly moo insisting she took the baby poo in good faith.

I bet she doesn't challenge the dug users who use the toilets for the wrong purpose

Lotsa, you hit the nail on the head. The reason busybodies like her give grief to mums of young children is that deep down they know we're likely to be fairly decent responsible types if we can look after a child, so they know they can give out to us without getting themselves a punch on the nose. Sometimes I am sorely tempted to disabuse them of the notion that because I'm nice to my child, I'm nice to everyone...

Definitely the best thing to do with it in the circumstances.

MrsGB it was attached to a fence, it looked like he was sitting leaning on it.
My initial thought was it's not a very hygienic place to sit there may be poo particles on the outside....

Then I noticed his overshirt pulled up and his trousers around his ankles

It was one of those disgusting things that once you realise what you're seeing you just can't tear your eyes away.

It was bad

YANBU I would have done the same

She can lump it - YANBU at all!

You can put dog poo in any bin now - at least the council here advertise that you can, but the dog poo bins just say for dog poo only. I'm assume they mean rubbish, rather than toddler poo though!

I've never really though about it before, but presumable nappies with poo in go in normal,bins, as do poo stained items of clothing so it doesn't really make a difference.
As long as it is not on the floor, doesn't matter which bin it is in

you are advised to flush the solid waste from nappies down the toilet before putting them in the bin.
I'm not sure anyone does anymore though.

Thank you everyone was beginning to think I coudn't do anything right

Piratejones I still flush as much as possible from the nappy down the toilet . I hate the idea of filling my bin with poo

I would have done the same. She clearly has way too much time on her hands.

Busybody.
On a similar note Mrs Busybody harangued me as doggo was doing his business while I stood waiting poo bag in hand. Like what did she think I was going to do with the bag - blow my nose with it.
Oh and I then put it in the bin.

YABVU to sully our pristine, fragrant dog poo bins with your sneaky toddler turds. That bin will be ruined now. Ruined!

I've had the indignant 'I hope you're going to pick that up!' when I've been stood with poo-bag in hand before. I'm now primed to respond 'Aye, but I'm gonna let her finish first'. Some people make a sport out of not minding their own sodding business.

Spud know what you mean. Today I had to wait while a chocolate bar wrapper was evacuated. Pristine it was too.

There's a sort of morbid fascination when they crap something undigested and completely recognisable isn't there? Or the grass poo's that need, er manual help to come out. Or the poo-then-circle routine where you have to wait, so you can get it all in one go, or you'll exhaust your seemingly endless supply of bags.

But they're quite charming animals, really

Grassy arse! He's had that little problem a few times!

I've bagged and poo binned toddler poo numerous times. Notably was the time ds1 stood on the corner outside the park about 30 seconds form our house and dropped trousers. Poo had hit floor before I even realised what was going on .

The other week I had to leave dd's poo behind a tree. In fairness it was in a quiet spot by a river as we'd been exploring. I had NOTHING with me at all, dd (age 6, just to make this worse) announced she needed the loo so I helped her to squat behind a tree, as you do when your child needs a wee in the midst of nature, and she promptly did a poo instead.

I may have managed to find a solution had I scratched my head and thought about it but when she was mid poo ds1 decided to fall down a really steep bank into the river via a pile of rocks and was screaming like he was being murdered somewhat distressed which took my attention off the poo situation.

The only saving grace of the whole day was that ds2 was in nursery.
