So I’m new to the area and trying to make friends with others mums with toddlers. I’ve gotten to know a couple of mums from playgroup and we’ve started going to each other’s houses to sit in garden, drink tea and let our (3yo) kids play.
Names changed to protect the ‘wee’ ones.
At mine the other day, one of the mums “Barb” asked me “have you got a potty that little Suzie can use?” and I said yes, in the kitchen. I showed little Suzie and Barb stayed put in the garden. Suzie did a wee and we went back outside. Barb asked Suzie “was it a wee or a poo?” And Suzie confirmed it was a wee. Barb didn’t move a muscle.
Is that the norm, or should Barb have offered to empty the potty? The play date only lasted another half hour and I actually didn’t get round to emptying it so it was still there when she finally did stand up.
As they were leaving Barb asked Suzie if she needed the potty again before they went off in the car, so I doubt she just forgot about it.
Barb is allowed in the house btw, she came in to wash her hands and help carry out the mugs, and another mum used our bathroom, so it’s not a covid house thing.
YABU - you own the potty, anything in it is your problem
YANBU - parents should deal with whatever their toddler puts in a potty, regardless of whose potty it is
Ps this is lighthearted, I am not losing sleep over it. Merely curious.
