(and the week after, too)  Yes you've been here all week, and you've still failed to answer the question I've posed (2 posts above) to you all several times now.

Hollis   10 #184 Posted April 11, 2008 It's going to stay stuck until you answer the question.  Personally, if I had an semi-incontinent kid of any age (as yours appears to be), I wouldn't take the child too far from a toilet without a nappy.  That way I wouldn't have to let the kid foul the streets and I could change the nappy as and when...

lyndix   10 #185 Posted April 11, 2008 Let me expand on your question. You are a shopkeeper and you take note of my obvious distress.  Would you:  1. When asked for assistance, allow my child to use your shop toilet  Or  2. Would you deny me the request and see my child urinate all over your shop floor?  You only have to answer yes or no to work out the outcome.  So would you be willing to let your kid pee all over a shop floor(indoors in a public place)? Most shops will not let you or your child use the staff loo`s, if you have come accross a shop that let you then you`re very lucky.

Let your child urinate in the gutter.  2 Make them wet themselves.  Which would you choose? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Having read all your posts, I just can't understand why you won't answer the question .  The question has already been answered.  Like Frank, you're locked into the mindset that his/your 2 suggestions are the only solutions to the problem.  We know that's not true.

Naughtyboy   10 #192 Posted April 11, 2008 Oh dear -'locked into a mindset' eh ? Pot Kettle Black jumps to mind !   That's probably the most overused cliche on this forum. Haven't you noticed?  Let me put it simply, there are other solutions to the problem, not just the two that you and Frank keep banging on about.
