Today, I was desperate to teach my 2-year old to use her potty. I had to pee, and thought maybe she would learn by watching me use it. Everything was going well, until I realized that I had a long pee. So long that it overfilled her potty all over. FML

Today, in an attempt to potty train my 2-year-old, I sat her on the toilet and waited for several minutes. I finally gave up and lifted her off the toilet just in time for her to pee on my new shoes. FML

So pissed

Today, I was babysitting, and I had to pee really, really badly. I couldn't figure out how to get the stupid toilet lock off, and ended up pissing myself. As I stood in the bathroom in tears, their child screamed, "No, no, pee-pee in the POTTY!" FML

Today, my daughter watched a potty training video on Sesame Street. In the middle of the video, she got up and ran to her potty to practice. She then announced, "All done!", and proudly closed the lid to her potty. She then immediately stood on top of it and peed. FML

Today, I really had to pee while babysitting. Normally this isn't a problem, except the kids were sleeping and going potty would wake them up right before their parents were due home. Desperate, I decided to pee in a cup in the kitchen and wash it down the sink. Their parents came home mid-stream. FML

Today, the 3-year-old I nanny wanted to prove to me that he was tall enough to pee standing up in front of the toilet. When he realized he actually was tall enough, he got excited and misdirected his stream, covering himself, his brother, and me in urine. FML

Today, my 2-year-old daughter started showing signs of understanding the potty training concept. She announced to my mother-in-law that she needed to go potty, only to be flatly told, "No, you don't." So she crapped herself. Now it's going to take forever to train her. FML

Today, I thought it would be a good idea to let my 19-month-old son watch me pee, since I'm trying to potty train him. I didn't consider that he might try to grab my penis. When he did, I was startled and peed all over the floor and my son. Good job dad. FML

Potty drama

By NeverEndingBathtime_ - 03/08/2017 20:00

Today, my two year-old is being potty trained. He got the gist of it and actually did #1 and #2 in the potty and after our little celebratory dance, I went to get him a cookie (which took me two seconds). I come back to see him covered in shit and pee because he tried to go empty the potty himself. FML

Today, I was in a public restroom with my one-year old. I had no idea he could reach the lock until he opened the door and ran out. In my haste to catch him, I not only peed all over my pants that were still around my ankles, I faceplanted on the nasty, moist bathroom floor. FML

Sprinkler system

Today, I was using a mall bathroom. Thinking the toilet seat had to be unsanitary, I decided to squat. I was a little farther out than I thought, and ended up peeing all over the bathroom floor. FML

Ohhhhhhh ok you mean the age where they can't even walk....and they taught themselves did they?....Intersting. So if they learnt at 6 months, would you say that you're 5 years old?

Seeeeeeeeee! There IS always one person who's child was toilet trained at birth and is a mensa genius blah, blah, blah! What #106 is referring to is known as "toilet timing" and all it means is that the kids train YOU to know when they need to pee and you hold them over the toilet. But hey, pass a gold star to #106 for being the Uber Parent of clearly gifted children *pfft*

...I now have a sick compulsion to go drink a ton of water and then dig my sons potty chair out of the garage and pee in it to see if it overfills... Also, everyone who is sickened by the fact that she peed infront of her daughter...wait till you have kids. Then try and and use the bathroom by yourself. You can't get them OUT of there.

Okay, YDI for peeing in the little potty. I've been a nanny, and I've potty-trained children (some of whom were younger than 2, to all you idiots who are saying 2 is too early to learn-- it's the average age), but never have I used the tiny kid potty myself. WTF were you thinking? How did you even fit? It will work just fine if you sit on the real toilet and have the kid sit on the little potty and pee at the same time. Good luck with potty training, though.
