I took a friends child out recently and she went to the toilet (quite deliberately) in the middle of a children's sand pit.
I went absolutely mental and shouted at her. Called her mum that evening.
I have instilled in my children good toilet ing habits. My DS is autistic, and we had a few years of fecal smearing where he would smear poo over walls and his bed etc., he was also very late out of nappies and would often wee wherever he was... and also didn't get social niceties (such as not pulling your pants down before reaching a private cubicle) so have worked very hard to get the routine....
And now, I am thinking, I over reacted to this other child. I still think it's unacceptable for a 7yo to do that, but as its not my child, should it be my place to say anything.
Do you think I should apologise for losing the plot?
I can see now that I was just worried that, should my son see something like that, he could quite easily decide that it would be fine to toilet wherever and whenever he wants. I don't know what to do.
I know I've put this in AIBU, but please,go easy, as I think I over reacted.
