I'm not childess and she does deserve it for not watching her kids!

She says he cane to the gate which means she had him confined to a smaller area while she was making him lunch. That way he's not running through the house like a madman destroying everything and getting hurt while she's making his lunch. Since you physically can't watch them every single microsecond you have to have a small area for them to stay in that's safe for those few minutes at a time when you need to do something else.

@95 exactly. Kids do not need 24 hr supervision and at 18 months old they are capable of playing on their own for the 10 minutes it takes to make lunch. Op did the right thing with her child, he could have made the same mess anywhere and in any length of time. Its what kids do.

she also said "when I arrived" which incinuates she was in a different room. she would have had to be away for a decent amount of time for him to do his business, take his nappy off and make a mess. all without her checkin on him once. at least have him in the same area to watch. she deserves it for being a bad parent!

Thank all above cept for you know who. If the fml hadn't been edited it stated "playing in his play room." Then there is a gate. Which means, no he's not running around like a crazed animal breaking or possibly hurting himself. Please! Stayed childless! I feel for that child that you may give birth.

yes "edited" is a gd excuse. you know why you are getting your knickers in such a knot...... the truth hurts. it borders on abuse when you cage your child in there room, where they have enough time to be mucking in there own feacies. I hope you don't hide this behavior from your better half.

OP, please shut the **** up. You're taking all the fun out of this for everyone else.

I only talking to one person here and it's this dumb bitch above you! If you don't like it, find yourself another FML. No one said you had to sit here in read this one. This is a community place. I have the right to post comments just as much as you do!

exactly so what are you moaning and whinging about.

For the girl criticizing OP, you are very rude, were not there to see the whole thing, and she probably only left for a short amount of time. The child could have done all of that in just a couple of minutes, do expect OP or any other parent to stare at their kids and never stop to make sure they don't do something stupid?

I have a 4 year old brother, and this exact thing has happened to both me and my mom when we went to the bathroom. That's it. Just going to the bathroom. You don't have to be away for a long time for this to happen...

I had my brother in his playpen next to me. I look over to check on him, I go to grab him a snack in the kitchen in the next room, I come back and he's naked and throwing his clothes about. It takes seconds for a smart child to take off something that they watch you put on. Just because your kid is a dumbass and that's never happened to you doesn't mean shit. Literally.

I slapped a pair of his brothers underwear on him. If that doesn't work, out comes the duct tape!!!

if he know what he's doing and taking the nappy off after he's done his business, he's ready for toilet training. man lazy parents bug me!

He's only 18 months old. No where near the age of potty training.

@77 its not lazyness. 2 years is when toliet training is supposed to start. It would be different if OP's son was taking his nappy off every single time but if it is just a one off then its more likely kids exploring. As I said above my nine month old can take his nappy off. Sure parents can try potty training at 18mnths but most kids will not take to it at that age.

wrong. there is no set age for toilet training. it is when the child is ready. she is a lazy mum for having him caged up and she obviously can't handle her child.

Oh please!! You don't even have a child!! I am far from lazy or a bad mom. Potty training at 18 months. That would be fun!! More poop around around me house. Please don't procreate.

yes I have children. the difference is you are lazy as a parent, you don't watch your child at home and I feel sorry for them and your better half. i hope that your are able to be a better mum to your kids.

@117 Im sure your little darlings are perfect kids who never did anything daft or naughty or made a mess. Listen here you crazy helicopter parent, kids at 18 months do not need to be watched constantly, they can be left to play with toys quite happily for a few minutes. OP probably had a monitor on too to hear what was going on and the room is most likely on the same floor. I know parents with your ethos and their kids are nervous wrecks terrified of trying anything. They think everything is dangerous and are so attachted to their mum that they cannot be left anywhere. Can i ask you where is youe 18 month old when you are making their lunch, in the kitchen with you where they can grab knifes, pour scalding water all over themselves or worse or in a safe gated playroom. even if they are in a sling or carrier they can grab stuff, kids are so quick. As for potty training I know the age is not set but it is recommended to not start before 2 yrs Im pretty sure OP knows better than you whether or not her son is ready for that step.

Thank you 120! I feel for those poor children. Atleast I know my babies lead exciting normal lives with amazing parents. :-)

haha I knew you couldn't help yourself. lol. why assume she had a monitor or that she was only gone a few mins. you don't need to be a helicopter mum to look after your kids, it's not even hard to look after them. but if you want to go into the assumptions this lady more than likely has her kid in there unattended for hours at a time while she indulges herself. you can say what you will about me and my parenting skills but I am not the one having it on fml cause I can't handle my child. at least learn your child some respect to you or they are going grow up lazier, and more foul mouthed than you. your child cognitively knew what he was doing, and was trying to get your attention because you obviously don't give enough. stop neglecting your kids and be a parent.

Was I actually talking to you in that last comment? Re read again! No! Now I am. Don't try to flatter yourself!

I assume because its the most likely thing to have happened. Why do you assume the worst thing happened? I wouldn't let my kid play on his own atm cause he only nine months but he sleeps on his own and at 18mnths he will be able to play on his own for a little while. The kid did not cognitively know what he was doing, would you let a kid who can take off their own clothes begin bathing themselves? I think the fact the diaper was full of poo was a coincedience. Babies and toddlers are taking nappies off as soon as they can pull on the sticky panels. Im not arguing with you anymore, you watch your kids every single minute and mother them to death if you like. The sensible parents on here know kids can be unsupervised for a short while.

too funny. as if it was a coincidence. and more likely op's kid will end up in a dumpster. she wouldn't even notice, and her excuse would be "I was making him lunch" there is way to many parents like op out there. instead of acting like a child grow up and stop being lazy.

@ 117 She said she was making him lunch, and that there was a gate. She wasn't being lazy, she was just keeping him in a safe room so he wouldn't be around dangerous kitchen stuff. Would you let your small children, less than two years old, run around freely in a room with fire (or high electricity in the case of an electric stove), sharp objects, and tons of dangerous nooks and crannies? He could lock himself in a cupboard or hurt himself in a thousand ways.

JESS YOU'RE A TERRIBLE PARENT!!! STOP BEING JEALOUS OF OP'S AMAZING PARENTING THAT'S SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOURS BY A LONG SHOT!

Jesus Christ, you are an idiot. . .

lol truth

You were probably a broken one.....

No that Jess2gd4u is annoying so I just had a few choice words for her. I'm sorry if I ruined your fun. Carry on

He is under 2 years old
