Dear Queenie,
My granddaughter is going through “potty training” and doing fairly well, except that her parents let her carry the potty chair around the house and use it in front of everyone wherever the family happens to be, even when they’re eating dinner.
Queenie, I think such activity should be done only in the bathroom. Do you agree?—Pooped-out Grampa
Dear Pooped-out,
Absolutely, I agree with you. No matter how cute a child is, I cannot imagine anyone finding public pooping acceptable, even just within the family, much less if there are strangers present. I, for one, would be offended, not just “pooped out.”
And I wonder, do the child’s parents also let her run around naked? Have a serious talk with them. If she is old enough to use a potty chair, she is old enough to learn about the concepts of modesty and privacy.
