Trip to McDs w/my girls (1 Viewer)

When my daughter was three she climbed up into one of the McD's play areas and then decided she was too frightened to move.  I had to go up to get her.  Those play areas are not really built for 45 year old men who are 6'3" and 240 lbs.  It was quite a tight fit.

You had a baby when you were 42?  I barely have the energy for him at 10 years younger...how'd you make it?

It was bath night for sure

To be fair, she's 5 and had an accident.   I can't remember the last time it happened.

The real problem was trying to convince her it was okay to go commando 

"mom and dad don't wear underwear all the time, it's fine"

You take that opportunity to show her how to hide them in the ceiling tiles?

I had the same thing happen except it was literally 100 degrees outside and a good 120 degrees inside that thing. We were both completely drenched with sweat and tears by the time I finally drug her out of there.

 
:lol:  That's an awesome story.

We've all been there.  I had a nightmare scenario happen with my son when he was still in diapers.  Took him shopping and forgot the diaper bag.  The kid had a diarrhea attack at AC Moore and absolutely destroyed the place.  I did the best I could but everything that could go wrong did (no paper towels in the bathroom, multiple attacks...)  To this day every time we drive by that store I just point to it and shake my head.

 
This sounds all too familiar (my kids are 5, 3, and 10 months).... from the kids choosing McD's (I swear it's just because of those crappy toys), to the kids having to use the bathroom about every 5 minutes, to even the pants pooping part.  But, yeah, I don't think I would trade it for the world.  :)

That said, to be fair, before I got married/had kids, I probably would have been in the "I am never having kids" boat.

There's a commercial that covers this.

How the fk do you let your children make the decision of where to eat?!   Do you let them chose ice cream for dinner too?

Hm, ok, this may have been your first mistake, though I can see having a nice day at home with the kids. Very cool dad you are, seriously.

The issue of rights and morality aside, I'm not entirely sure how or why many women would be enthused about the shared bathroom push. Ladies' rooms are nice, perfumed, well kempt places. Men's rooms are invariably disgusting, rife with mess, missed shots and general grossness. Is this something the ladies really want to do?

Women's restrooms are often disgusting cesspools of filth men can hardly imagine.

No.  But, there are times when we have to pick up something quick (which usually means fast food).  No matter what the options are, they want McDonald's.  More often than not, we opt for something else, but occasionally we just say screw it and give them what they want.

A couple years ago I took my then 2 year old son to the Field Museum in Chicago. He of course #### his pants. The "family bathroom" didn't have a changing table thing. I had to do a wall-sit and his mom changed the diaper while he was on my thighs. 

 
At the park Sunday, my 4 year old daughter popped a squat and peed right there in the mulch. The horrified looks on some of the mothers there was almost worth it.

 
anybody else lay the toilet paper throne down on the seat for the daughters? I figured it was common until I asked my 4yo if mom does it for her. maybe I just know better the disgustingness of mens' room toilets.

While I hate public bathrooms for pooing and avoid that like the plague, my dad taught me that when I was a kid. I'll usually also take an extra step of taking a wad of tp (so my hand had an inch or two of buffer) and wipe the seat and flush before putting down the tp, again only in dire cases. My kids are old enough that I don't do that anymore, but I think I need to have another quick PSA with them to make damn sure they are doing that/using one of those covers.
