Moved to new neiborhood last year, nice upper middle class suburbs. In spring I noticed, as did my boys, ages 11, 12 and 14, that our neibors boys 9 and 11 where peeing in their yard. I thought and told my boys, surely their mom doesn't know. After a time while chatting with her as our boys where outside one of her sons began to peeing. Aware I was seeing him she said, "I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind, but I just hate the boys tracking into the house all the time, so when I saw the boys behind us peeing outside, I told the boys they could too.
Now their young, as my youngest, but what about my 14 year old. Since hearing that conversation all three of my boys are using the yard and being the only visible neighbors are those 2, I've overlooked it for now, since the other moms condone it.
What do other moms think, do you encourage it, allow it, look the other way or punish boys for peeing in the yard?

I think that's a lowlife, trailer trash thing to do! It's one thing if you're camping and it's between the woods or some smelly outhouse, but in a backyard??? I had an ex bf who did this when he visited his parent's house, and I thought it was disgusting.

Lol To The Girl Above, Do You Seriouesly Think That There Was Plumbing And Toilets Back In The Stone Age?
Its Not Disgusting.... Sure It Is Depending In What Place Or Facility. If He Is Doing It In The Bush Out Of The Way, Whats The Problem....Im Not A Mother, im Not Even A Chick And Not Even Old Enough To Be A Dad. But I would only encourage them to do it as a second choice, but get them to do it somewhere out of the way.
As To My Self I Would Only Use A Bush As A Second Option As To A Restroom.... Lets Say Some One Is In The Toilet N I really Need To Go , Ill Go Into A Secluded Place or behind a bush where no 1 see's me and are less likely to go walk through.
I Do Think People who just pee where ever, (like in the middle of a feild or something) is pretty unnecasary. No One Wants To See You Go To The Bathroom.

first of all, anything over 24 months is usually referred to as 2, 2 1/2 or 3, not 38 months. You still refer to him as a baby, do you treat him like one? My brother had the same problem, and he is 120 months old (just kidding, lol). . . he's 10. We tried everything from pull ups, to rewards, to grounding. Turns out, his teacher made rude comments about his personal hygiene (i.e. sticker to the kids who took baths) and this really got him down mentally, so he started holding his poops. Took him to the doctor and he was backed up quite a ways. . . lucky he didn't explode with poop! lol. .. i guess i would try to make an area that is SOOOOOOOO attractive, with books and maybe an activity he can do on the potty to keep him there. Is he afraid to use the big toilet? I would address his problem starting with that. Don't forget, if he is in preschool, lot of kids do things like that and learn bad habits from classmates. Maybe he sees the dog go outside, so he thinks he can, too. Hope this helps!

My son is 3 and my husband taught him to pee in the yard. Fortunately we are rural so it isn't that bad. I would not be to worried about it but I would set up rules. For hygiene they are only allowed to pee in a certain spot, such as a tree or a corner or such. It is not to be a game used to see who can pee the highest etc. If this happens then you will stop it. Boys will be boys and sometimes I think they get it easy because they can pee anywhere. As long as there are boundaries and you are comfortable then i would let it go.

where some of the most powerful men in the world meet to pee outdoors
You know you are inside the Bohemian Grove when you come down a trail in the woods and hear piano music from amid a group of tents and then round a bend to see a man with a beer in one hand and his penis in the other, urinating into the bushes. This is the most gloried-in ritual of the encampment, the freedom of powerful men to pee wherever they like, a right the club has invoked when trying to fight government anti-sex discrimination efforts and one curtailed only when it comes to a few popular redwoods just outside the Dining Circle. Tacked to one of these haplessly postprandial trees is a sign conveying the fairy-dust mixture of boyishness and courtliness that envelops the encampment: Gentlemen please! No pee pee here!

Kids that run in and out of the house all day with dirty feet really is a schlep...
Peeing in the yard is really OK.
Some people may think it gross, but really when you come to think of it in a detached way, what is wrong with it?
I am a girl, and I pee in the back yard at times...
I just cover it up though...
You really will be ridiculous if you punish someone for doing something quite natural...
Urine will sink away in to the soil, and when it rains, will sink in further.
I am not saying that you should make a toilet of the back yard, like a poop is quite a different story, but really, be reasonable.
This is innocent.

don't punish just let them pee
only if all the bathroom are non-avabile
peeing in the yard can cause grass problems if u did not know
also peeing will cause the yard to smell
when the holdiays come and you have people in the yard it will be smelly and stank and they will not want to come back
because they have stepped in the poop and pee that your son has made
in terms people will talk about you and your smelly popp/pee yard
i suggest you follow this or you might not have many people comeing back for chritmas time .

Are they dogs? Why would you allow them to act like dogs!
I have a teenage son and he'd never do that especially in our own yard. You don't find this disrespectful? Why don't you just teach them how to wipe their feet? Or how about leaving their shoes at the back door before entering? I don't know where you live but you say 'upper middle class' I'd hate to see how lower middle class people act. I think it's disgusting.

Took my little boy (3) to a party. The boy who's party it was just peed on the grass right near where they'd set up a bouncy castle. Thought tht was pretty rough. My little boy even commented on it.
