Gone are the days when respectable parents let their decent kids piss their pants...

MarkY91 · 09-08-2010 8:15pm

i hate seeing junkie parents waiting for there kids to finish pissing when their trousers are around there anckles:pac:cant complain though i do it myself when on the drink

I'd rather the kid I had to hang around with pee'd on the street and not in their pants.

brendanL · 09-08-2010 8:20pm

It's disgusting, the kid deserves to be brought to a toilet. Parent probably under a lot a of pressure with time and so on. Also kids always need to go to the toilet at the worst time XD.

However, I fell you should always plague your kids with 'and have you gone the bathroom before we go?' when your somewhere that has a toilet, otherwise it's pretty much child abuse to not just drop what you have to do and escort them to nearest toilet even if it means missing a train/bus/whatever

I was on the 151 bus once, and a kid pulled down her trousers and went to the toilet right in the middle of the aisle. The mother did nothing. :eek:

Does be?? What happened to 'is'?

I don't see how this is disgusting? It's a little kid doing a litle wee on the ground instead of peeing in their pants and walking around with damp trousers all day. Honestly, you're disgusted enough by this to come home and post on a internet forum? You need to have a stroll around Dublin Sunday morning and count all the puddles of stale vomit you see to get some perspective.

Are you sure you are not getting confused with Dogs OP?

Eh in a train station where there are clean toilets- yeah it's disgusting to do it in front of everyone. Of course it's fine to let your kids pee out in public but that's usually somewhere far from public toilets and a good parent usually tries to make it as discreet as possible.

Disgust is subjective, I guess. I don't see a kid peeing into a drain as so disgusting that you'd come home and post it on a forum. I just wouldn't be disgusted if I saw this...probably because I've been exposed to a lot more shocking situations. That's my opinion.

I really don't like it when I see parents letting their kids pee in public. It's not the peeing that bothers me, if it's a long car journey or something and the kids are desperate to go, take them somewhere and go. If it's necessary, it's necessary. The problem is, it's not always necessary. When you're at the train station, go to the bathroom, that's what it's there for. There's no need to go on the platform, unless it's the last train and there's no time, or your child has urinary problems and cant wait (in which case it should be in nappies anyway). If your child hasn't been potty trained, or is still at the stage of potty training where it's willing to pee it's pants if you don't pull them down, then it shouldn't be spending the day out and about without nappies. If I needed to go when I was a kid I was told to hold it till we got to a bathroom, and I would. This resulted in me growing up into an adult that uses toilets to pee instead of drains. Maybe that's weird.

It's not the physical act of peeing that bothers me, it's the fact that a lot of parents don't seem bothered to train their kids into using a bathroom. When it's a necessity I totally understand. Also, it seems to me that some of these parents haven't told their kids to go before leaving somewhere. When I was at that age, I wasn't asked if I wanted to go before leaving somewhere, I was told to go before leaving somewhere, because I wasn't to get any sympathy if I suddenly got the urge on the way home.

I've had to (not through my own choice) let my children pee on the side of the road - as there are no facilities on some of our motorways. I was travelling down to Dingle a while ago and there were no toilets - and there is only so long you can ask a 3 year old to can you hold it - I'd no option but to pull over and let her go.

I remember reading a court case recently - a woman was caught speeding and explained to the judge she was in need of the bathroom - and there were no facilities - and that's why she broke the speed limit - she was let off.

dammitjanet · 09-08-2010 9:24pm

My neighbours kid pissed on my car the other day!!

My boyfriend called it a "Bray Christening"

we'llallhavetea_old · 09-08-2010 9:39pm

i have let my daughter pee on the side of the road before, obviously concealed by the car doors so no one could see. it was hilarious actually, i nearly dropped her we laughed that much. (we laughed at the stream shooting up in the air like a fountain btw)

this is true,if you have visite other european countries like the uk,france,spain or netherlands you would see toilet facilites where ever you go,on m50 or highways or just normal roads but why does not ireland have petrol stations spread on the m50 ?

KittyeeTrix · 09-08-2010 9:48pm

Depends on the age of the child imo..............

I wouldn't mind if it was a woman in her 30's letting her 3-4 year old having a wee somewhere but a woman in her 60's letting her 40yr old do it, well that'd be a whole different story:eek:;)

raah! · 09-08-2010 9:54pm

Take it easy op, just a bit of wee. And I'm sure you're exaggerating about how public it was, and maybe the girl really had to go and couldn't wait.

Perhaps she'd already had a tinkle at the bus stop.

Get real!

What I have to know is: how does a female piss on a bus advertisement...?

Shivers26 · 09-08-2010 10:20pm

I don't know, its a bit dodgy really. I can't believe anyone would let children run around half naked in a public place. That's not right at all.

I would never let my kids pee in public. My 3 year old is capable of holding it to a a certain extent. Plus their are toilets in shopping centres, train stations, on the actual trains so I cant understand why they didn't just use one of them. I just get mine to go at every available opportunity.

The older lad is 11 and he has gone behind a tree a time or 2 but he would be concealed. No way would I let a kid do this in full view of people.

cc-offe · 09-08-2010 10:26pm

I was sitting in the back of my ma's car with my 3 year old son and we got stuck in traffic and of course he decided he had to go there and then, had to find an empty bottle for him to wee into.......I started to panic when it didn't look like he was ever going to stop.....

I agree with most of the other comments, if the child has to go they have to go....saying that, my child never had to go in a public place but there has been times on the motorway where we've had to get out with him to go (and this is after making sure he goes before we leave) but what can ya do eh??
