Peeing in public

[ToddlerIs2]

Just after some advice really.

In the new days of being toilet trained, what did you do if they needed to pee no where near a loo?

Finished school, I checked if they needed a wee. They said no. Teacher confirmed they'd not long been. Great. Literally 5 minutes from school, twin 2 needed a wee. And it was a big one. I then checked twin 1 and he wanted one too. Had to do it up a wall on the residential street.

Getting them back to school, getting someone in reception to let us in etc would have taken 10 minutes. The nearest shop with a loo is probably 15 minutes away. We didn't get home for at least 30 minutes.

What am I meant to do cos obv this isn't ideal but neither is walking home dripping pee as they wet themselves

For context, they've been out of nappies since last Wednesday so just over a week. It's a mile home but taking us 40-80 minutes. We've stopped at the local shop for a wee but we're too far from it today

It doesn't matter if its a council wall! It's disgusting! If you don't want to be considered a skank I suggest you show some class. You don't teach children to pee up walls.

This is why there are so many revolting men who piss wherever and think its normal.

My youngest were in pushchairs for the school run til they were 4.5 😂I needed them strapped in, to walk faster than 0.03 miles an hour, and somewhere to put all the kit from one, then two, then 3 DCs.
it’s hard if they don’t want to go in, but mine would often silently hop in after the first ten minutes!

Yes the no buggy, they're 3, was more a comment on their refusal to entertain it than me judging. Eldest was in it longer than that. It isn't worth carting the stupid thing 4 miles for something that can be sorted another way. I'm going to order the pee bottles I didn't know existed and find an empty pop bottle until then.

If you want to continue to justify why it's perfectly fine to teach your children to piss on walls, whether they be public or private, have at it. It doesn't change the fact that it's disgusting.

School had said they'd gone
And when it's taking so long and in this weather I'm not going to refuse drinks, it won't solve it until they can hold it.

Unlike the pee bottle someone linked to. That will solve it.

If I thought it was fine I wouldn't have started a thread acknowledging it isn't good, asking for ideas and stating which ideas I'm going to take up short and long term. I'd just let them walk around the streets peeing freely wherever they go.

It isn’t a “pee bottle”. It’s a travel potty. Christ, have some class.

it literally is a pee bottle

Behind a bush or down a drain.

Who did the wall belong to then?

Peeing in a residential area in this heat is going to stink. Not fair on the locals. I always prepared for situations like this with a portable potty or a Tinkaly (portable bottle potty for kids).

This 100% a wee in a bush fine as the wee will absorb into the ground but at someone’s walk where it will smell partying this heat no way!

You have to work out a way to deal with this.

I really hate the way parents allow boys to piss where they like. I have two DDs and they certainly can't piss up against a wall. It smacks of male entitlement excusing boys doing a public wee just because they can.

Anyway urinating in public can actually be fined under the Public Order Act and furthermore, adults who urinate in public can also be charged with indecent exposure under the sexual offences act.

So teach your boys properly. Make them go the the toilet before leaving preschool and stop this pissing against a wall (never mind who owns it).

My DDs are teens now but if we couldn't get to a loo quickly enough they wet themselves. Potty training is a flipping pain and restrictive until the kids are able to hold it. We've all been there.

It isn't solid walking of its that long, and actually that did Inc a compulsory wee on the shop on the way home. I'm just making the point I can't just pick them up and run them anywhere

They haven't used it properly since it broke before end of last term.

The pee bottle someone linked is a good solution tho, means they can walk and we can actually be out places longer cos other than school run were kinda never too far from a loo

You can get these little portable travel potties that just go in your bag. I used to take them for emergencies.

Standing them on a fairly main road (so not busy but can be fast) seemed a ludicrous idea, tho it crossed my mins.

Obv if a member of the local council (their wall) turned up with a hose pipe, I'd happily offer to wash it away.

80 included an acceptable wee stop tbf. 40 minutes is just how long it takes dawdly 3 year olds to walk a mile. It isn't far. They're just slow.

It wasn't a house or garden wall

I will thanks. We had a fold down, it was still really chunky esp with two of them.

I think the bottle is prop the best idea as they're easy to bring home full of pee.

@TheBarbieEffect

Never seen it and don't know anyone who does this or who has done.

I've seen kids peeing in bushes, rushing for the loo, having accidents.

Didn't know these existed, one day delivery, sorted. Thank you

Nothing wrong with a tree or a bush when they are young, yes its not ideal but what would the previous sanctimonious posters prefer, a child wetting themselves and having a long walk home upset?

The same people probably wouldn’t bat an eye at their precious dog urinating in public!

No. I’d prefer their parents to be sensible and prepared and bring a travel potty with them if their children are potty training/can’t hold it for long.

It is confusing because you say school but mean pre school. 3 year olds are not school age and the answers around peeing in a Bush would have been different.

Very very good point about dog urine, I'd way prefer toddler wee on my wall than dog wee which really stinks!

I have twins. Ignore everyone who doesn't have twins. If have aimed for the gutter rather than the wall but if the road is busy, it's toddler wee, it's pretty innocuous, if it goes on a wall it's no worse than fox pee.

However... You could just take the buggy so you could carry all the stuff? Had mine in a Mountain Buggy Duet til 4? I would usually walk them to nursery, then push them home, especially when it's hot like this.

Ignore all the wall pearl-clutchers, oxygen cylinders are heavy!!
