Today, while working at a daycare, I had to change a kid's diaper. This may seem normal for a daycare worker, but not when it's a 7-year-old kid who is still not potty-trained and shat their pants. FML

Yikes. I thought kids of a certain age HAD to be toilet trained in order to attend day care.

I feel worse for the kid. Probably has some kind of condition (more likely than the alternative: that his parents never taught him/her to use the toilet) Hopefully the other kids don't bully this child.

Ugh I remember back in elementary this girl got picked on because she always spelled like poop and piss. At the end somehow it got out that she wasn't potty trained properly and every morning she wakes up with a wet bed and doesn't even take a bath or wash up just throws on clothes and go to school. Now we knew where that scent came from. It's really sad, can't blame the kid. Bad parenting.

Well what if the 7 year old is mentally disabled or physically disabled in a way? Then it makes sense that the kid might not have control of that.. Or with those embarrassing moments you have as a kid? Yeah it might be one of those for him.. Or maybe he's just not potty trained. Poor OP that would have been awkward as heck

Diapers are supposed to be only for babies and old people. And those lunatics who have a diaper fetish. Seriously, what the ****.

I have a friend with a severely autistic daughter. She told me she started training her child to use sanitary napkins at seven years old to prepare her for her menstrual cycle. With some children, such effort is necessary to ensure a better life for them. What I'm trying to say is you shouldn't judge like that. You don't know the situation or the circumstances. The child may not have grasped the concept yet.

*psst* Welshite...it's a joke... You should know better than to take me seriously.

OP never implied the kid has a disability. He just sounds lazy, or like a previous FML where their little 8yr old sister had a tantrum, dropped her drawers and pissed all over the floor.

Sorry, Doc. This is just something I feel strongly about. This friend took me in when I was homeless and I witnessed firsthand the love she held for her daughter and her efforts to treat her like a normal teenage girl. People don't realize how outcast such children are or how they are treated because of their inability to communicate or act within social standards.

FYL and the kid's, it must be humiliating at that age. Hopefully there's a way around it - my cousin had a policy of only accepting children past a certain age if they were potty trained.

Unless this kids has some sort of disability, there's no reason a 7 year old shouldn't be potty trained. His parents need to get to work.

Parents who neglect these important things sicken me.

I once had to clean a six year old girl's hair after she vomited all over a tent and herself, I feel your pain of having to clean a very dirty situation up OP

Parents nowadays are really beginning to worry me.

If this is a normal occurrence, I would be concerned. But if it was a one-off, then it is likely the kid had to go so bad he could not hold it.

I doubt it's a one-off. The kid is seven and wearing a diaper, for crying out loud.
