to hate it when parents 'hold' little girls when they need an emergency wee?

[cheekster]

I know emergencies happen, but it just looks awful.

Saw this happen today in a shop doorway

If the OPs main objection is to seeing small girls' genitals, rather than the actual weeing, I hope for her sake she never goes to the seaside in summer!

Dear oh dear i would be in a lot of trouble then as dd2 just potty trained and she seems to need to wee every 30 mins or so at the moment so in the park the other day we had about 4 wees... out in public!!!! shame on me!!!

OP - get a grip!

What a very weird thread. What the hell else are you supposed to do for the poor kid. Let her wee herself.

You seem a tad strange to me.

Sorry, but what's wrong with children's genitals anyway? What are you suggesting will happen if we see them? We've all changed nappies!!

What about in a bus shelter? No time to go anywhere else as bus was arriving. Quite a few people around.

slightly off topic but what gets me is when you have to change a nappy and the looks you get. yesterday i was out for the day and ds2 needed changing (ok i know i am apparently lazy for not potty training him fully yet) and I had no access to a baby changing room. I was on a pier so i laid him on my knee and changed him i was not near any food. But the comments and looks i got even down to..."oh my god she has got that boy naked from the waist down" errrr can you change a baby without him being semi naked? and that boy is not yet 2yrs old. On the other hand when i was on the train coming home i was sitting with an older couple and when i said to my mum "DS2 needs changing, i hope this train doesn't take too long to get us home" they said "its ok change him we won't look you can't leave him wet" the husband then stood up to block anyone else seeing him while the wife and I had a wonderful discussion about cloth nappies lol.

Oh and I have been caught short whilst walking and fishing and have had to go back to basics and find a bush. and i am 34 lol

dd has a habit of waiting til dp has gone somewhere and we're waiting in the car and both boys are asleep in their carseats to announce 'Mommy, i can't hold my peeeeeeee!'

We've mastered the art of her standing in the car squatting out the door and me standing outside holding her and god help anyone who dares to say a word to me about it..... as if i want to be doing it in the first place but if it's that or a pee soaked dd there isn't much choice!

Shop doorway is a bit but i guess it depends what type of shop doorway... boarded up shop door alcove on a quiet street or in use doorway on a bust street? World of differance imo.

YABU.

I find it quite offensive that you think it's OK for your boy to wee outside but not my girl. For modesty reasons. Nobody thinks it's ideal for their dc to need to wee in public but it happens to everybody sooner or later.

Are you suggesting with your talk of 'protect' and 'more discrete' that if your child is weeing in public then a paedophile might see them? So you should let them piss their pants in case a passing nutter happens to see them?
