As much as I hated having 2 children in diapers, I seriously think that out in public the diaper thing was much easier. No, I am not potty training a child. In fact my children are way beyond that. However, we still have not left the tour de cabinet de toilette, AKA the never ending tour of public restrooms. During potty training, I kindly chalked it up to the newness of going to the bathroom which would intrigue a toddlers mind to want to see EVERY godforsaken public restroom. And to the inability to plan our bathroom visits ahead and to the inability to hold it.
Now, I just call it ANNOYING.
Promptly before leaving the house, I make sure that everyone goes potty and if they need to poop, do it now!
It doesn't matter. Because the moment we step into a store or event, it's poop o'clock. Don't even get me started on how many times we do it in a restaurant.
Oh and it is ALWAYS after our food comes. Take a few bites...and bum bum bum bum.... I have to go potty.. or my tummy hurts, I have to poop. Fabulous!
Do you think they have to go at the same time? Oh no! It's within a 1/2 hour of each other. And they deliver when they go to the bathroom.
Synopsis of yesterday.
Lunch at a restaurant. 4 bathroom trips. (now I did have 2 extra kids with me).
Reds game (only my 2 kids): 3 bathroom trips. (and they only shared a water bottle).
So from now on, Jason and I have decided we should start our own review blog.
It's Poop O'clock: a review of Public Restrooms.

Knocking on wood....we must be lucky as we don't have that issue. I think I have weirded my kids out about public potties! LOL! I will, however, read your review blog....for I find everything you write hystercial!
All I have to say is once they check out the public restrooms in NYC on your trip this summer they will be cured of this habit. One or two scary bathrooms in the dimly-lit basement of a restaurant and they will quickly learn to make the most the time before they leave home. Or, they might find it all really exciting and want to see them all.
I can't even imagine our bathroom trip future in NYC.
Holy cow.
Maryanne's on the UWS should do it. They may never want to use a public bathroom again!
ps...poop o'clock. I like that, I think I'll use it.
Yep, that's the exact restaurant I was thinking... too bad they closed the UWS location down a few months ago. I have faith that the Chelsea location could also serve the same purpose.
That is awful. When I was little my brother was the same way. He had to check out every single bathroom. It drove my parents crazy.
Hopefully it doesn't last forever.
HA, you crack me up! My little sister loved visiting bathrooms. Every time we sat down in a restaurant, she had to pee. Alex is my poop man. He always has to poop when we are out shopping. I can happily say, I never had two kids have this problem together. Nicholas could care less about a bathroom.
That is funny. We have a particular park near our house, and every time we're there, my son has to poop. Never fails. Luckliy the restrooms are fairly new.
