Peeing in the supermart!

I can only assume by this post that you are not a parent. I do not agree with the method taken that you have described in your post; why do you call this person a "maid" and not a "caregiver". As I stted I do not aagree with the method, but I cannot believe again that you are a parent, I do not believe this is laziness, just an inconvienence.. perhaps you would be witness to a situation such as this and would give hem "a good piece of your mind"; what is that teaching the child, that having to pee is a shameful act, and having a caregiver repremanded for an incident is punishable? Look before you leap my friend!

it is just disgusting. if it happened in front of me also, i wou;ld also have given them piece of mind.it is very bad of that maid.

First of all I would ask the maid whether she knows or not there is a toilet outside. Sometimes there are types of people who are afraid to do almost everything and you should understand them in the first place. This fear is known as phobia. If this is the case, you should teach the maid her way out of the supermarket and then teach her the way in. Maybe she is afraid she might get lost from her employer. Some people are like that. After you have helped the maid and she did it again, then it is time for scolding. This time there is no excuse why the maid didn't go out to the toilet because she had already known her way out. In this case, it is sure that the maid is lazy and doesn't care about public comfort and being civic minded.

What is the world coming to? I have seen boys peeing near the bushes at the playground, but at the supermarket? I think that is terrible. It is not like Singapore is lacking in toilet facilities. I have seen adults in other countries do that in public. But they really do not have any toilets there. And it's not in a supermarket. I don't know what I would do if I witness this. I'd probably go "eeee" very loudly to indicate that it is shameful act.

This maid needs retraining. Children should not be taught this. It must of been embarressing for that young boy. This would be a shock in my country too and it would hit the newspapers. She should of helped the boy to the toilet. Even if he had off peed himself, it would be better than getting a bag out and making it obvious to all in that supermarket. I feel so sorry for that little boy.

Potty training is hard. I have a little bucket in the back of my car that I have the lid and plastic bags in there and a toilet seat that i can put on top for things like this ir if one of my children have to go really bad. I can tie the plastic bag inside and throw it out or just tie it up and close the lid and dispose of it when I get home. But peeing in the middle of the store is a really nasty. But if he was just going to pee and she had the bag just incase then maybe it was the right thing to do so it didn't get all over. And also You can't not put a diaper on a child after that have learned to just not have the diaper on because it is just going backwards. maybe she shouldn't take him in the store for a few months until she gets him trained better.

i havent read this news your referring ....but i guess the maid should be blame for all this...or maybe the boy cant hold it anymore...sometimes kid dont give warning to adults if he likes to pee its always the last minute that he will tell... if ive seen one maybe i will tell the maid or whose ever is with him to train him to go to the toilet or if she doesnt where it is then i will guide her..

lol =D The kid is still too young to know anything, and just like us, when we were still kids, we will be peeing in the open, right in front of the public eyes, peeing in the grass patch or in drains, and my mom will be telling us, nothing wrong because we are still young.. haha So in the case of this kid, he's not wrong.. BUt the maid is wrong.. But then again, most kids now are very spoiled and they want things their way, so maids will often obliged them, so as not to create a scene there and embarass themselves or risk being scold by employers if the kid complained.. Thus, i believe the maid is left with no choice too..

There is no need for the little boy to have to pee in a plastic bag if there where bathrooms nearby, the lady could have ran with him to the bathrooms, she was just being lazy. When my kids where little I was always in the bathroom with them before an after we left the store even if they said No Mommie I don't have to go I would tell them to at least try and sure enough they always had to go. I hope she plans it better next time.

The maid needs someone to teach her how to take care of children! You take the child to the bathroom before going to the store. And, if the child needs to go again, you take him/her to the bathroom. This is laziness in the maid!! I'd probably have said something myself, had I seen something like this! My daughter had 4 children, 3 of them boys who were constantly needing to go to the bathroom even though they went just before leaving home. But she never failed to stop what she was doing and take them to the bathroom. That's just a part of training the child. What this maid has started with that little boy will forever be on his mind and he'll be expecting his Mom or Dad to let him do the same. He might be caught wetting in the floor the next time! The picture just made me not want to ever go shopping in a grocery store anymore! I wonder who made the picture.

It is just a matter of discipline. The caregiver should have been responsible enough to teach the right thing to the child. It is her responsibility to take the child to the bathroom before they left or maybe when the child already needed to go and pee, she should have taken him to the bathroom. if I saw something like this, i should be talking to caregiver that it is not correct to do that.

The child isn't at fault and no you are not wrong. It is ignorant and lazy to do such a thing! I babysat several times, and took kids out so many times. Bathroom before you leave, wash your hands, ok lets go. That's how it is. If a kid really had to go i'd go to a cashier to anyone, even if it is employees only most places will make allowances for young children! Worst come to worst take the kid outside to do his business in the bushes. But not near food items, not near dish washing detergent not near anything INSIDE... PERIOD. Parent, maid, caregiver, babysitter... she is the adult and as such should know that is not excusable not in any way shape or form. I wouldn't be okay with it i would go up to her and at the very least say in a shocked voice "they refused to let you take the kid to the bathroom?!?!" that is at the very least if not get a store manager to interfere. You are taking about pee here... what if the kid needed to do number 2?? In the bag as well?? come on. If the store had no bathroom, or refused to let her take the kid... im sure the store next to her will let her take the kid to the facilities seeing a child so small. Supermarkets rarely are in secluded areas. You said there were toilets outside ahgong... meaning that they ARE for public use... she could have picked up the kid, ran and took him to one of the toilets. What she didn't see the port-a-potties? Ehhh sorry, that's not sinking in.

Aww how people will do pee in the supermarket..rediculous..i havent seen that kind aa i have seen many people who is peeing in front of everyone but i dont agree with you but anyway i dont know wt i do when i caught in that situation may be i will yell ...
