Dad Has Diarrhea In Public Toilet With His 4-Year-Old, Her Reaction Makes Man In Another Stall Cry From Laughter

ADVERTISEMENT

Nobody knows about lack of privacy more than parents. Forget about showering in peace, working in peace and yes, even going to the bathroom in peace. Clint Edward’s, author of the parenting blog ‘No Idea What I’m Doing: A Daddy Blog,” shared one of his more public bathroom parenting experiencing in a recent Facebook post.
The dad of three was two hours into a family road trip when ‘diarrhea struck.’ He was with his four-year-old in a gas station and had no choice but to bring her along to the bathroom. As Edward’s struggled with his bowels, his daughter proved herself to be the “Richard Simmons of pooping.” She cheered on her dad with words of affirmation such as “You’re trying so hard!” and shouting “You’re doing it, Daddy! You’re doing it!” It occurred to the father later, that she was channeling him and his wife’s method of potty training through encouraging phrases. Still, the dad has since dubbed his daughter the “world’s most wonderful cheerleader,” supporting him through everything from using the restroom to eating his vegetables.

Clint loves sharing stories about his kids. He started his blog during a lull in a different writing project and by the end of the year had written for the New York Times, the Washington Post and been featured on Good Morning America. The father of three just published a book titled “I’m Sorry…Love, Your Husband.” His favorite part of being a dad? “I’m just in it for the snuggles.”

Scroll down below for the full post and pictures of the Edward’s family!

I must be getting old because all I can think is.....why? Why is this on the internet? This is a story you tell your spouse and maybe your BFF....not the world.

Kids learn from adults. So if adults cheer them on when pooping, they eventually think that's a normal thing to do and mimic their behavior.

In the early '80's (a safer time in history) while out at a restaurant, our 5yo wanted to go potty by himself like a big boy. The john was in eyesite of our table so I said yes. Watching my watch, when he wasn't out in 90 seconds, I charged in there to find him, pants and Garanimals underpants dangling around his akles, sitting in the men's urinal! "About done daddy" he says as I grab him under his arms and move him quickly to the appropriate seat.

My daughter ( middle) coming out of a public toilet during a long days travelling. She would have been about 7; holding her nose face screwed up and yelling at the top of voice oh mummy that lady in the next toilet really stinks. I got out of there very fast.

When my son was young and got diarrhoea, he told me he'd been sick out of his bottom.

I don't care for people watching but people listening? IT IS GOLD! Especially listening to little tiny kids in public restrooms. I've got so many stories.

The tears are streaming down my face I'm laughing so much. Cannot understand why some people are offended by this. With all the dreadful things going on in the world it's good not to take ourselves too seriously.

If mom was in the car then why did he have "no choice" but to take his child into the bathroom with him?

I was a teenager and was with my mom in the restaurants bathroom. While we were washing our hands mom lets out this huge fart and says "Oops! Little bit gassy there!" I start cracking up saying "a little?" and we notice there was someone in the stalls the whole time, we left cracking up.

Bodily functions aren't off limits now I guess. The barrell's bottom is in sight :)

You saw the title; you could have skipped the story, but you read it so you could whine. If you're too immature to handle bodily function conversations, stay off the internet.

If you didn't think this was funny, I guess you don't like little kids. They don't have our inhibitions. They're innocent...and honest. In our straight-laced world a lot of what they do is funny. If you can't get down on the floor and laugh and play with the little guys, I'm sorry. You're missing something precious. Oh, BTW, I'm 71, and I think little kids see the world through new eyes and keep me young,
