We ran to the Foster PX tonight. We needed something that Kadena didn't have. No big deal. Being pregnant and all, I find that I have to explore every bathroom we come to...so that includes the one at the PX. Well, as I'm hovering to do my business, a little boy, probably about 5-6 popped UNDER my stall! WTF? First off...I understand if you have to take your kid into the bathroom, but f'n CONTROL them. She was in the handicap stall, I'm assuming because she started out with him in there with her, and then I was all the way down at the very last stall, so a whole bathroom away. It scared the crap outta me, I totally wasn't expecting a kid to pop up when I'm peeing. Grrrr. She was just like...oh come back...come here. She didn't even freakin' care! So, in the NICEST way possible, I told her to control her damn kid. She got mad, I got asked to leave. Idiots. I'm sorry, but that one IS the mothers fault. either don't bring your kid, or make sure he's not peeping at other chicks peeing. And, tie him up in your stall if need be. Ugh. 

So they asked you to leave the PX because someone ELSE couldn't control THEIR kid?!?!? That's crazy 

Because I used "foul" language...I guess my mouth should have stopped....but I'm just glad they didn't ask for ID or anything... 

So, in the NICEST way possible, I told her to control her damn kid. Because I used "foul" language... Uh. How is foul language nice?? Just asking. :) 

So, in the NICEST way possible, I told her to control her damn kid. Because I used "foul" language... Uh. How is foul language nice?? Just asking. :) I agree. You couldn't control your mouth. You deserved to get kicked out. You should have approached her with tact. 

Uh. How is foul language nice?? Just asking. :) Lol...I was wondering the same thing. 

Uh. How is foul language nice?? Just asking. :) Okay...let me rephrase...in the nicest way possible being as pissed as I was. I'm sorry, but a 5-6 year old does NOT need to be peeking under stalls at ladies peeing. If I really said what I wanted to say, Derek probably would have been in trouble. If she showed ANY remorse, the situation would have been different...for sure, I would have understood a bit better... 

Maybe the mom was sitting on the pot doin' her business. Was she suppose to hold her kid down while she takes a crap!? 

I guess I just understand how it is to have a kid who sometimes just doesn't listen. My son hasn't ever done that, but honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he did one day. I'm not saying at all that I would allow it, or brush it off, but you know, it happens. I can remember my brother doing stuff like that. Both of them. Hell, I have had random kids try to peek under. There are kids that are very difficult to deal with and that have a hard time behaving. This mom might not have had a choice about bringing her son. It happens. We can only try our best, but ultimately, our kids are independent beings too-and they don't always make the right choices. 

Nope...I could hear her. She flushed as I went in, and was washing her hands by the time I sat down...and really, if that's what it takes to make sure my kid isn't peeping at others, I'd do it. 

ok, tell me that when your kid is a toddler.

I sure would have. She just didn't care...that's what I think I was really mad at...not the fact he went under, just the fact that she just didn't give a crap. 

Was she suppose to hold her kid down while she takes a crap!? I lay my son on the ground and step on him with my feet while I sh!t in public restrooms. 

I agree 100%. BUT, I also think she should have apologized Were you rude to her right off the bat? If you were a cunt to me, I would not have apologized. 

I agree 100%. BUT, I also think she should have apologized. I sure would have. She just didn't care...that's what I think I was really mad at...not the fact he went under, just the fact that she just didn't give a crap.  Yeah I agree, a simple sorry would have been appropriate. 

I agree 100%. BUT, I also think she should have apologized. If someone came at me, cussing and telling me I'd better control my kid, I probably wouldn't apologize either. 

If someone came at me, cussing and telling me I'd better control my kid, I probably wouldn't apologize either.  Yeah, that should have been more of a laugh it off situation. I don't think the kid was trying to watch you pee. 

Nope...I could hear her. She flushed as I went in, and was washing her hands by the time I sat down...and really, if that's what it takes to make sure my kid isn't peeping at others, I'd do it. Kids have curious minds. You can't tell me you have never apologized to another person because of what your kid has done. If you don't have any kids and don't understand this you are in for a rude awakening. There is going to be trial and error. 

If someone came at me, cussing and telling me I'd better control my kid, I probably wouldn't apologize either. I already said that! Stop stealing my lines :P 

You better believe my kids knows that bathroom time is very private and they know well that a public bathroom is not a play area either. I would be very upset too if a kid did that to me, but unsure if I would curse at the mother. It would probably piss me off though if she shrugged it off like no big deal but I still don't think I would curse at her but I would advise her to control her child. 

It's always really easy to say my kid will never do "xxxxx" until you have kids...and have kids of that age. :) 

It's always really easy to say my kid will never do "xxxxx" My kids will never do that. 

My kids will never do that. I am going to punt your kids across a football field. 

It's always really easy to say my kid will never do "xxxxx" My kids will never do that. Wow. That was easy! 

I am going to punt your kids across a football field You don't scare me. Wow. That was easy! It was pretty easy, actually. 

Were you rude to her right off the bat? If you were a cunt to me, I would not have apologized. Nope...as I was walking out the door, I said to her "maybe next time you should control your damn kid" She had PLEANTY of opportunity to apologize to me while her kid was pushing the soap despencer all over the sinks and turing on all the water faucets. Kids have curious minds. You can't tell me you have never apologized to another person because of what your kid has done. If you don't have any kids and don't understand this you are in for a rude awakening. There is going to be trial and error. I have a little girl, she is 11 months. If she is a brat or whiny or any of that...I'm ALWAYS apologizing to whoever she is near. It's not their fault I went out that day, and I truely am sorry if they have to listen to her her whining and crying. So, yes, I say I'm sorry. 

I still don't think I would curse at her but I would advise her to control her child. See, if someone even said to me "control your child" that would piss me off. I do try to control my child. He is also three, and he is quite the stubborn 3 year old. We do pretty good, but he definitely does things I don't want him to do-as does any kid. I know when he is not in control-and I am usually trying my damndest to get him under control...so someone "advising" me isn't really helpful. 

I am usually trying my damndest to get him under control If I saw you making the attempt, it would be completely different but if the parent just shrugged it off and laughed, it would piss me off. 

I have a little girl, she is 11 months. Trust me. This is completely different. When B was 11 months, I thought he would never do out-of-control stuff either. Then, he turned two. And now 3. And I had to eat my words. LOL 

If I saw you making the attempt, it would be completely different but if the parent just shrugged it off and laughed, it would piss me off. Exactly...AND if you said something...anything...even if it was like..."oh, you know kids" that would have been a WHOLE different story. She didn't clean up the mess he made with the soap, she didn't apologize to me, it was just a bad deal all around.
