SCSB79 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Absolutely disgusting.Was driving along Whateley Road to be greeted by the sight of a mother holding up her toddler as she pee'd into a drain at the side of the street.No matter what the circumstances, that is just not acceptable.

legalbeagle Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Oh dear. This ole chestnut again! I know some parents can be incredibly gross about this kind of thing, and it can be offensive, but don't be too hard on them. My daughter was very difficult to potty train indeed, and sometimes if they need to go, they need to go. Better in the drain than soaking their clothes and filling their shoes and then having to, say, get on a bus to go home freezing cold and soaking wet? I know it's grim, but sometimes it just does happen.

Fuschia Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Gawd, my DS1 still wees in the street if necessary! If we're in the car, me, him and two babies strapped into their seats and he needs to go.. pull in somewhere and have him wee against the car is the best I can manage. By the time I found a public loo (!!!!) and got them all out, he'd have long since wet himself!!

BB100 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Dogs do it all the time in the street but you haven't complained about that. Your disgust is a construction of what you deem acceptable behaviour and something which this parent and toddler doesn't seem to share with you. You would be better employed complaining to the council for the lack of public toilets.

SCSB79 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 So letting a child do this and giving them the impression that this is an acceptable thing to do is ok?Ridiculous.There are plenty of places around that she could have popped into to use the toilets.

Fuschia Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I think it is acceptable, for a child. Not so keen on drunken men pissing against shops of a night, mind you.

Indiana Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Come on...it's really not the end of the world is it?!

sillywoman Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Then I really doubt that your opinion is based on any long term life experience of the realities of raising small children. There are far bigger issues to get your knickers in a twist about than a toddler weeing down a drain.

For that reason, I tend not to crap in a potty and have 'bitty' from my Mum now I'm a little older. > There are plenty of places around that she could> have popped into to use the toilets.

ryedalema Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Indeed - the Police station might not even have them. I went to Walworth Road Police station yesterday and had to change our baby on a table in an interview room.I thought all public offices had to have them?Sorry - going off topic.Agreed I think it's acceptable for a toddler to go in a drain. I only hope the parent found a safe place to park before undoing the child seat and making it on time. When our toddler wants to go she either means RIGHT NOW, or.. too late.

mumum Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 wow. That could have been me and my daughter, but luckily it wasn?t. My daughter has also pooped in the street! (You never know what will come out!) But I did pick it up with a plastic bag I luckily had, which is better than many dog owners do. My daughter can now hold herself until we get somewhere with a toilet. Of course it is not socially acceptable to pee and poo in a street, but a child is learning about what is socially acceptable and growing to physically be able to do this, you are not born with it. You can?t really punish a 2 year old for needing a pee quickly!

tiddles Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I was caught like this years ago (my child not me!!) - with teenies i think it is ok. Where are you supposed to find a public loo in lordship lane?? My children were always mortified but had little choice if really desparate.

KalamityKel Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 SCSB I don't think for a moment parent choose to use the street as an alternative and find your own comments "ridiculous". tut tut at you.

Ruth_Baldock Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Someone alert the media! Ryedalema, they DO have to have public loos etc as far as I know. Peckham Registry office have very well equppied changing area/feeding rooms to demonstrate this (I had to BF The Night Owl a fair few times when we went there to give our notice of intent to get hitched and was suitably impressed...)

sledge Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 So is it acceptable for our dear little toddlers to pee by trees in the park? Me, thinks so! Sadly my little one was somewhat shocked by my suggestion and despite "trying" he couldn't go, and so by the time we got to the toilets in the park, he had indeed wet himself.
