Congratulations, but donât relax and think itâs over ⌠itâs not ⌠itâs never over!
Whatâs the protocol around taking a shit when youâre minding the child and nobody else is at home? I mean when youâre really dying to go. Is it acceptable to pop him in the bouncer at the bathroom door? If so, should you block his view of you on the potty but leave the door slightly ajar so you can talk away to him? Or should you give him a fully unrestricted ringside (excuse the pun) seat? Or just battle away and hold it in while being in severe discomfort until someone comes home?
He shits in front of you I assume?
Battle it mate for sure. Do you sit guard while he sleeps?
Would you consider getting a man in?
For fucks sake, would you ever catch yourself on?
Disturbing rating.
Are there any nappies lying around?
Stick him in front of Telly
Be grand mate. Just take the shit and get on with life, youâre overthinking this
Odd. I fear for him tbh
Any chance you can drop him down to Wexford to the Mammy and then come back to take your dump? Better safe than sorry
Okay guys I thought Iâd seek help with a genuine query which inexplicably wasnât covered in ante-natal class. I didnât expect or deserve these type of scathing responses. Shame on you all.
You need to do like we all did and get yourself some adult nappies for situations like this,youâd be surprised how quickly you get used to them,itâs also a kind of bonding/solidarity thing with the child,it lets him know itâs ok to wear nappies.
Finally somebody takes my query seriously. Thanks for your thoughtful response and astute solution to a tricky but recurring problem.
Have you made it yet?
Congratulations mate u can have the âofficialâ scoops with him now
Just take a shit, the child doesnât care
Is it safe to make a sweeping conclusion like that? Children are heterogenous.
