I was watching two little boys a week or so ago (4 years and 5 years old) and the 4 year old urinated on my 4 year old daughters leg outside. I wanted to strangle him!!! I didn't however, what I did was sat him down and asked him why he did it and his answer was because I wanted to. I was soooo tempted to call his mom then and there but I waited the 45 minutes until she got to my house and picked him up and told her about it. She told him ' you know thats not right', made him apologize and left it at that. What would you have done to your kid if they did that or if it were your kid it happened to....(I sent my daughter straight in to take a shower) YUCK

Thank you. I wasn't sure at the time what the right thing to do was. I just couldn't believe he had done it!

Gross! At least it wasn't the 5 year old. Since he was 4, I give him a tiny iota of maybe not having the impulse control...an itty bitty iota. Not much. Still, I think Mommy should've showed up with a little more than a forced apology. You were right not to discipline her kids but that's why we aren't other kids' parents, but only our own kids' parents. And saying, "I'm calling your mother right now!" would've served the same thing as disciplining. If that happened again, you can always say, "I have to call your mother so she can pick you up and we can go take showers because we can't play together when we are covered in urine." That would put a kibosh on the whole situation and he'd pretty much get it, right?
