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

Well done sweetie

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

Training day

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

You didn't think to show her by peeing in a big kids' toilet? YDI for that genius idea.

As a mom of a 2-year-old in the middle of potty-training, believe me, she'll get the idea by watching you use the regular potty. How did you even sit on her training potty without breaking it?? Oh and also, you could get one of those lids that goes over the regular toilet. Might help.

Okay, people, seriously, the cheek of most of you for criticising the OP - I bet half of you aren't even parents, so I find it laughable that you scorn her parenting methods. Not the word 'desperate', right? Obviously the kid wasn't picking it up, so she thought she'd try another way. What's wrong with that? It wasn't the best idea, in retrospect, but you don't need to crucify the poor OP. Get back to me when you have kids of your own and you're potty-training - I'd love to know how it works out! Correct me if I'm wrong, as I don't have any kids, but doesn't a woman's bladder control weaken after having children? And some people just don't have a very good bladder control or an overactive bladder. Maybe the OP had some coffee beforehand and was in the middle of quite a long pee. It's hard to stop in the middle of one of those ones if you've drank a lot of water/caffeine; wouldn't it be worse if she got up and it splashed all over the floor on the way to the toilet? OP, you don't deserve it, but I suggest muscle exercises to build the control back up again to avoid mishaps like these.

Ya know, just because someone popped out a kid doesn't make 'm great and almighty and deserving of sympathy. Also: Infertile people can't have kids of their own, so STFU about others being inconsiderate when you're just as bad yourself. And besides, why do you need kids of your own? I've had to babysit my three cousins (baby, and two toddlers) countless of times because my aunt would quite literally dump me with them. I was eleven and living with my aunt at the time. And I actually managed really well. So I fail to see your point.
