AIBU to force DH to take son back to football next week after poo in a bush incident.

DS (4) goes to football every Sunday, absolutely loves it and his football has come on so much since he started. DH has always taken him and enjoys spending those few hours with him.

Until today, DH popped off to the toilet while DS was well into training (small groups, lots of coaches so perfectly safe to leave him for a minute.

Well DH came back to DS saying his bottom was covered in poo and he'd wet himself, kiddo had only gone and took a poo in a bush at the side of the pitch and tried to "shake it" because there was no toilet paper in the bush... (He looked for DH but was obviously the worst possible time for DH to be in the loo)

Well DH just picked our son up and rushed home, now he doesn't want to go back again ever. DS isn't bothered and wants to go back, I said he's probably not the first kid to take a dump in a bush.

DH thinks we've failed as parents and we must never go back. AIBU to say he should take him back?

And what happens if/when he has an incident in school? Do you never take him back there either?

This is all down to your dh being embarrassed about the non-event of a 4 year old having a toilet accident, or how he handled it (did he over dramatically pick him up and walk away without saying anything?).

Either way he needs to get over it and go back.

Over dramatic on your husband's part.
