I told him at the time that he should come in to go, as the yard is fenced but not privacy fencing. Well I caught him doing it a few more times but he eventually grew out of it. I think if the child is little, like less than 5, don't make a big fuss about it. By the time they go to school, yes they definately need to use the restroom to go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094807067733140545.post-59724202018326368362011-06-23T19:00:29.613-04:002011-06-23T19:00:29.613-04:00I wouldn't have a problem with this if it was ...I wouldn't have a problem with this if it was a little kid.

I like to think we are more civilized than this in America. I also do not think it is appropriate to teach a boy he can just whip it out whenever he feels the need. There is something to be said about keeping ALL of those bodily functions contained to the bathroom.Lynsey @MoscatoMomhttp://moscatomom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094807067733140545.post-82976984797950261172011-06-23T16:55:03.391-04:002011-06-23T16:55:03.391-04:00I let my boys pee in the backyard.

My oldest doesn't need to pee on the spot outside anymore, he runs inside. And my youngest is good also. Now if a random kid peed in my yard (front or back) I'd be annoyed.<br /><br />I think the fact that the husbands think it's okay and the moms don't says something. Boys are just different than girls and I think moms have to go with the flow (no pun intended).Erin Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455243779618139837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094807067733140545.post-49533268556913194152011-06-23T13:22:02.414-04:002011-06-23T13:22:02.414-04:00I am so glad you all left me your thoughts on this...I am so glad you all left me your thoughts on this. Thank you! I agree that it is tacky and lazy and I don't see why they can't just walk their little bottoms into the house to go. But see my husband who may have some OCD tendencies doesn't seem bothered by it so that through me for a loop. I thought maybe I was over reacting. In emergencies I don't care if they run over to the woods and go, but I don't want them to make a habit of it.Mariannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08664886152492460201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094807067733140545.post-18422139492069090942011-06-23T10:01:31.110-04:002011-06-23T10:01:31.110-04:00I have both a son and a daughter.

I figured that if my daughter had to come inside to use the bathroom, he could, too. Emergencies are one thing but otherwise I just find it tacky.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113928043039917799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094807067733140545.post-16453436749440678562011-06-22T23:14:53.411-04:002011-06-22T23:14:53.411-04:00Well, we are dealing with this too.

I don't think it's ok to do it right in the backyard when he's just too lazy to come inside. (he meaning my husband with my little boy)IF we lived where you do and they went to the woods...I think it would be ok. I think! HAHA!! Hard call!Kasey@AllThingsMammahttp://allthingsmamma.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094807067733140545.post-28160248048124305082011-06-22T18:23:00.147-04:002011-06-22T18:23:00.147-04:00Personally Im not ok with it.

Just the other day I sternly talked to the neighbor kid for running through the backyards and then stopping to pee and then continuing on, anyone, I was, could have been looking out the window including my two little girls. Not to mention there is no hand washing involved.<br /><br />About a week after this incident I found out where he got it from. I had gone into the backyard to water my flowers when this 35-40 year old man comes sauntering around the corner of the neighbors place. He goes up to her back wall and just lets loose! Seriously and he really had to pee bc he was there for like 5 minutes! I know my neighbor has a bathroom, I believe this is her brother. Unreal. This is where all of the kids are usually playing and non of my neighbors has a bedtime like we do so the kids could have popped out into the backyard at any time!<br /><br />Two comments overheard by my neighbor, I dont know why she thinks because the windows are closed and she is outside no one can hear her<br />"Gregory (who is 9) get me a beer!"<br />"Gregory dont let that ball hit my flowers! Go play in the road!"Hylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05370684363916495048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094807067733140545.post-1006180058424087222011-06-22T10:52:17.184-04:002011-06-22T10:52:17.184-04:00Oh goodness!!!

She calls it "watering the flowers" and I get that when my husband was growing up they lived on a farm in the middle of nowhere. However WE ALL live in neighborhoods with houses on top of one another so everyone is privy to the pee pee. So eh...I'm also torn I guess. It just depends on the location I guess.<br /><br />LeeMySentimentExactLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13851220624320384540noreply@blogger.com
