Pooing in playground...

My 5 yr old DD nearly always needs to do a poo when we go to a playground (too much jumping around, maybe!). Our playgrounds do not have toilets. What we usually end up doing is going into the bushes at the edge of the field and doing a poo there, pushing it as far back as I can and covering with leaves etc. I know this is disgusting and maybe I should start carrying a bag around for these occasions, but what does everyone else do? Does everyone use the bushes, or does everyone carry bags???!!! (Obviously I wouldn't let her do a poo in the actual playground.)

You go home immediately until she learns that you are not going to facilitate her doing this by letting her shit in public.

I seriously have never heard of anyone allowing their children to have a crap in a public place (other than a loo) time and time again.

Ooh Madame, that's mighty harsh. Bully for you if your kids can hold it in, but some genuinely can't. I know mine's okay for a few minutes until we find a loo, but he certainly couldn't manage more than that. I'm with Serendipity. Good luck Strawb.
