Peeing in the yard while swimming in the pool?

Question

Someone asked a question recently if it was ok that they allow their children to pee in the yard when they are swimming in the pool. One thing I hate more than anything is getting the house all wet and walking into a cold air conditioned house. I think it is perfectly acceptable to pee in ones yard as long as there is a fence or a shed to pee behind. I've even done this a few times while I am working in my garden. I am curious how many other ladies pee in their yard instead of going in the house? Do you let your children too?

Answer 1

Sounds unclean to me? How do you wipe? Also urine burns the grass, and draws insects and other vermin.

Is it really such an inconvenience to use the toilet like an adult?

Really as a mother you should be setting an example for your children, not acting nasty!

you should be ashamed of your self you are just down right lazy.

Answer 2

I would say as long as no one can see you or the child peeing, it's okay. The ONLY thing is, do your kids know not to do this away from home? As long as they know it's ONLY okay at home, and out of sight of others, I think it should be okay. I also hope you are being private when peeing outside! It's a little more difficult for females. The only time I have peed outside is on a road trip and there wasn't a bathroom for about 20 miles. I pulled over in a dark area and I was in the middle of nowhere. I had to use the interior light of my car to see a few feet away from the car. A little scary in the dark but it was better than wetting myself!

P.S. Yes, I've let children do this when they couldn't make it to the bathroom. Once it got past about the age or 5 or 6, they had to use the toilet. It's also about age and bladder control.

Answer 3

When I was a child I used to swim at the neighbors and they had a nice big privacy fence..although we live out in the country...but we would go along side the pool where there was a private spot and pull our bathing suits to the side to pee instead of running in the house...this is what we were told to do...I dont see anything wrong with it...better than having to sit and dry in the sun before your allowed in to pee...seems to me when you are swimming the urge to pee is worse!!

Answer 4

To me the only time it is acceptable to let your children pee outside, is if you are a long way from a bathroom. Such as camping in a remote area or fishing out in the middle of a lake. Not going inside is just plain lazy.

Answer 5

Children can get away with it, but you are indecent exposure waiting to happen. all it takes is for one person to see you and report you to the cops.

I understand you're not wanting the kids to go back and forth in the house, but instead of letting the just pee out in the yard (which is kinda gross too!) why not put up a small tent with one of those kiddie potties in it? They'll have privacy and won't have to go into the house.

and no I don'r pee in public and I never let my kids either.

Answer 6

I would never pee anywhere except a toilet unless it was an extreme emergency and I would otherwise pee my pants. And I wouldn't teach my kids to pee outside either. Where I live people are cited for things like this.

Answer 7

Go to the bathroom and urinate. Urinating in the pool is disgusting. Just think about it, people swim in the water, and then someone urinates in the water. That water gets into peoples mouths and no telling what other germs/ diseases. So just urinate, before you swim, and take the extra mile to go into that "cold bathroom and fight with your wet suit."

Answer 8

It's not right to let your children pee in the yard like a dog.

Answer 9

Its not unreasonable to pee in the yard. Nobody goes bananas when the dog does it so why should a human doing it provoke outrage?

Answer 10

I haven't peed anywhere other than in a toilet since college, but to each his/her own. If you are comfortable peeing in plain sight, why should you worry about it? I'm not comfortable doing it that way, but I do know a lot of men who are.
