I'd try my best to get them to a bathroom, but if it were between going to a private spot or peeing their pants, I would go to a private area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-kid-pee-on-the-playground#post-464197 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 13:38:25 +0000 sorrycharlie 464197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not if there's public restrooms!</p> <p>If it were an *emergency*, with no restrooms in sight and a child who's just potty training, then I'd probably hustle them to a private area. Not in the middle of the playground where anyone can see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-kid-pee-on-the-playground#post-463989 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 11:12:45 +0000 MusicaV 463989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: I agree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-kid-pee-on-the-playground#post-463411 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 21:07:16 +0000 yin 463411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most definitely would not let my kid pee outside in public. Very gross and inconsiderate of those who play at the playground. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-kid-pee-on-the-playground#post-463389 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 20:35:20 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 463389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>gross!!!! so inappropriate!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-kid-pee-on-the-playground#post-463387 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 20:33:13 +0000 birdofafeather 463387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I agree!

That's just gross and lazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-kid-pee-on-the-playground#post-463348 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 20:11:42 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 463348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That seems like something only to be done in an emergency, not when there are restrooms there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-kid-pee-on-the-playground#post-463344 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 20:09:22 +0000 prettylizy 463344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't love the idea either, it's a difficult precedent to set. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-kid-pee-on-the-playground#post-463335 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 19:55:23 +0000 calsmom 463335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is not okay! I used to nanny for these boys that peed on a tree in their front yard. Their parents thought it was normal and cute. I thought it was inappropriate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-kid-pee-on-the-playground#post-463330 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 19:43:22 +0000 MamaMoose 463330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why on earth would you want to teach a young boy that it's ok to have his private parts out when he is out in public around strangers?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-kid-pee-on-the-playground#post-463231 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 18:04:56 +0000 MsMini 463231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>EWWW! I think that is a bit gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-kid-pee-on-the-playground#post-463219 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 17:45:18 +0000 Andrea 463219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: it was just off to the side in the grass ... I guess it is really no different than dog pee. Anyway, yeah, not a fan either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-kid-pee-on-the-playground#post-463205 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 17:25:09 +0000 mrbee 463205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a fan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-kid-pee-on-the-playground#post-463200 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 17:18:19 +0000 travelgirl1 463200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noooo, I don't like the idea of my kid playing where someone else's has peed, or worse! Was it out of the way or where other kids could stand in it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-kid-pee-on-the-playground#post-463198 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 17:15:33 +0000 Andrea 463198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were at the playground and a little boy, around 2.5 - 3 y.o., had to pee so his dad took him off to the side, pulled down his pants, and let him pee. Hmmm...not sure how I feel about that. There are public restrooms there. </p> <p>Keeping a travel potty in your car (or stroller or diaper bag) is another option. We do that. </p> <p>Do you think this is OK? </p>
