potty before standing in line

[princess jasmine27]

hi everyone! before i left for my wdw trip on sept 27th i read here on the dis about someone witnessing a mom letting her son drop his pants and peeing out inthe open near big thunder mountain railroad. i thought to myself" how disgusting....could that really have happened?" well i just wanted to share with everyone my experience. iwas standing in line for the alladin magic carpet ride and watched a mom on the ramp in front of me ( in the front of the line) pull her daughters pants down and let her squat and pee right there in line in front of everyone waiting ! the urine then traveled down the ramp twards everyone else's shoes. people had to jump around the pee so it didn't get on there feet! i was horrified and asked the woman "Are you serious lady?!" she ignored me and then pulled her kids pants up and continued on the ride! the line was only a 10 minute wait and even though she was in the front of the line when her daughter had to go, i would have never just let my kids drop and pee anywhere! so i guess the moral of the story is be careful where you stand in line, that harmles water puddle could be something alot more disgusting!

Omg, That's Gross!!!!!!!

 

[SplshMtnLvr28]

I would have complained to security!!! Disgusting!!!

 

[Smooshdog]

Yeah I would have told CM and seen to it that those people were removed from the park. That is in no way even close to something that is ok. Some people.

 

[stinkerbell_&_Co]

That's crazy! Wow....common sense just fails some people. You reacted better than I would have under the circumstances. Blech!

 

[Smooshdog]

SplshMtnLvr28 I like the comment in your signature...I think the mess up or cancelation announcements are some of my favorite things to hear in Disney...and now back to people taking a wiz where ever and whenever they want

 

[mickyzzzzz05]

That is awful! How could a mother do that??

 

[Luv Bunnies]

I can't believe this mother wants to teach her kid that it's OK to pee anywhere when she feels the need. Maybe on her wedding day, she'll be halfway down the aisle and decide to pull up her dress and cut loose right there in the church. Her dad will say, "What the heck are you doing?" And the girl will say, "Mom let me do it at Disneyworld!"

 

[autumnbaby9]

OMG that is soooo disgusting . I feel sorry for that little girl growing up with a mother like that . You are much nicer than I am I would have told a CM or security about this and got her kicked out of the park. WDW is suppost to be the Happiest Place on Earth and this definatly kills the magic.

My friend used to do that with her son. If he was playing outside she just let him pee in the yard, and he naturally would extend it to ANYWHERE outside. She just had him stand bhind/beside a tree or a bush and let loose!

IMO it is totally foul but her reply was "He's just a little boy, no one cares."

Did anyone ever see the episode of Nanny 911 where the little boy wouldn't pee in the potty so him mom would walk him into the yard or to the curb like a dog?!?!

Okay, now back to the regularly scheduled program...........

Yuck! I saw an incident like this at our local zoo. I was in the zoo playground with my dd. My dd saw a little boy and her grandfather go behind a piece of playground equipment. She gets all excited, thinking there is something fun over there. We both walk over as the granddad pulls the kids pants down and has him pee on the mulch. My dd asks me loudly "Why is that kid peeing there? Doesn't he know there is a bathroom right over there?" The granddad looked a little embarassed but come on, people are going to be playing in that boy's pee all day! Very inconsiderate!

I will be asking my dd is she has to go before standing in any lines, and take regular potty breaks every couple of hours. If she does have to go, then we'll leave the line. Not such a big deal.

 

[martyshoney]

First of that is just plain GROSS!!! That mother is teaching that child to have no respect at all for herself, to just bare all in public without thinking about it, come on now???? I guess we will see this girl in her teen years on TV at the Mardi Gras parades showing her stuff for some beads! And her mom will see that on TV and be so embarassed that her "baby girl" actually did that and will only have herself to blame! Sorry, I have a DD is almost 5 and would not let her do that!

 

[Mellie2162]

Ok now thats gross....I have to say though that my son used to get me everytime we were in line....every time...I would ask constantly if he had to go potty and the answer would always be no then as soon as we stood in a line for longer than 15 minutes and were nearly to the ride he would say those dreaded words....and we would then get out of line to go potty..a few times not making it. Im sorry but I would rather let him pee his pants then to drop trow and pee all over everyones feet...eewwww....Now I make him go potty whether he says he needs to or not...its just a rule we all go when we pass one or before getting on a ride that has a long line.

Ok, sorry to do this, but. . .

WHY DON'T PEOPLE WHO SEE THESE THINGS SAY SOMETHING???

When we see someone doing something so blatently wrong, we say something to the person, and then point them out to the nearest CM. Why are people so afraid to rock the boat? If we, as a society, don't say anything to these people, their behavior won't change, they'll procreate, and their kids will behave the same way, and to problem multiplies exponentially. It's like the heely issue. If you see someone, point them out. This mentality of "it's not my problem", or "someone else will report it" clearly doesn't work, because this lady and her kid were allowed on the ride, and allowed to remain in the park.

Rather than stand there and act disgusted, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

 

[mickeyfan2]

I hope you watched which carpet she rode and did not use that one.

People there is a reason that we invented toilets and toilet paper!!!!!!!!

 

[maxiesmom]

The ramp for the Magic Carpets is not that long. How could the CM not see what was going on???

I would have said something. I would not want anyones children to have to walk thru that. Disgusting!

 

[julsmom]

I am so tired of inadvertently witnessing little boys being sent to 'pee' at Disney. The last time, we were waiting for our bus at MK and a dad ran across the way with his DS to pee in the big bushes there. Of course the family thought it was funny. We teach our DD the old school way of manners. We do not curse or talk slang. Our manners are always 'on'. It is hard for her to have to wonder why this happens. I know she has to get used to what goes on in the world, blah, blah, blah.

Also, I do not like it when teens get away from their parents and go nuts in lines. Also hard to explain.

Why not? Because someone that is so socially inept and obviously has no desire to follow rules is also likely to become physially violent if you say something to them. We are no longer in Mayberry where someone just says, Oh, I am so sorry and corrects themselves and moves on. They are just as likely to pull out a knife or gun (Don't tell me you believe that Disney Security Bag Check would prevent that) or even just haul off and clock you.

I really don't want my kids memories of WDW to be of Mommy or Daddy getting knocked out by some idiot that we already know can't follow rules and thinks only of themselves.

Even if it doesn't become physical I also don't want them to hear a whole bunch of words we don't use directed at us because we decided to say something.

This is why most people aren't willing to say something or get involved in these kinds of situations. Unless you have the physique to back it up--which DH and I do not then there is too much risk in not MYOB.

HOWEVER--I would have said something to a CM--but I would have probably said it quietly so that the offender did not hear me. Unless I were just really tired and cranky, in which case I might have screamed at the nearest CM "HEY, THIS LADY IS LETTING HER KID PEE ON ALL OF US!!!" Sometimes it just depends on my mood!

Some people

We are going in 2 weeks ( ) and I will ask him to go "potty" before we get on any lines. If he doesn't and then has to go, he's gonna have to hold it until afterwards. No if's, and's or buts about it.

There is a trick that our friends had done with our son when they watched him for a weekend. During church service, my DS said he had to go to the "potty". Our friend told him to hold it until after the service and if he could she would give him a nickel for every 5 minutes that he held it. By the time service ended, DS forgot about it and didn't have to go. Worked like a charm


Mattsdragon, you asked, "Why are people so afraid to rock the boat?" I think it might stem from a few things that I have noticed. We now live in a "politically correct" society, a lot of parents are not teaching their children respect, manners, etc. Also, a lot of people now go off the deep end when you try to talk to them. You don't know if they will react violently when confronted. So observers are afraid of actually saying anything. Unfortunately, ettiquete, respect and common courtesy have all gone out the window.

So true!

Several years ago, we were sitting on the curb on Main Street waiting for SpectroMagic to begin. My dh had to take ds to the bathroom, and left his sweatshirt in his spot next to me to save it. A family came up and walked "over" me and the others sitting beside me, but their son (about 9 or 10) stopped, looked down at my dh's sweatshirt, and purposely stomped on it about half a dozen times.

I was really shocked, and without thinking, I looked up at the parents and said, "Excuse me -- your son just stomped on my husband's sweatshirt." The mother came over and literally got about 2 inches from my face and SCREAMED "Oh, I am SO sorry! How could he EVER think of doing something like that? Can you IMAGINE?!" and started laughing. The family walked away, laughing.

The people next to me looked as stunned as I'm sure I did, and said, "Wow, no wonder the kid's like that -- the mom's even worse."

People like that -- ones who raise their kids to be horrible human beings -- are everywhere, and unfortunately, they come to WDW, too. You just never know what you'll encounter.
