Potty Training in Public
1 Year, 8 Months ago

Potty training can turn you into a family of hermits, homebound, afraid of having a terrible "accident" in public. But all families, sooner or later, must venture out into the wide world without the safety net of pull ups.

What was your experience of venturing into the world beyond the domicile when your child was potty training? Smooth sailing (makes me think of a floater in a public pool)? Or were there "accidents?"

Relate your tales (tails?) here -- both positive and negative. We want to know what worked and what didn't when you were potty training your youngster.

"Better out than in I always say" Shrek

As parents who go camping a lot, we were able to use the out of doors as one big composting toilet. Take the paper with you, bury the rest. Outside the city one can usually find a tree or fence post. My thought was that if others saw us going on the side of the road they would have sympathy more than anything else. We all have had that moment even as adults.

But we also used public bathrooms. As for public bathrooms, we had to learn to really dial back our cleanliness expectations. It was a tough one.
