Okay, here is the situation. You are on a solo trip with 2 or more kids. You are driving along drinking your diet coke, and you realize that you really have to pee. You check back to see if the kids have to pee, and they are all asleep. You are at least an hour from your destination and know you cannot hold it that long. What do you do?

Let the kids sleep in the car while you run in by yourself for one minute.

Pull over somewhere deserted and pee in the grass next to the car.

Pull out your coffee can with bleach in the bottom that you keep for just such an occasion, because you are such a girl scout.

Re: s/o solo car trips

  • I said 2 or more kids just because I think most people would carry one sleeping child into the bathroom with them.
  • I voted for pulling over and peeing next to the car or in a cup lol. I would not bother waking them unless they were older and could walk and I wouldn't mess up their sleeping routine too much. I guess I am thinking like 5 years old and up. 

    I would NEVER leave them for a minute because I feel like those rest stops are just a predators dream.

  • I voted grass. Even with one, I wouldn't wake him up unless it was an emergency. With two? Oh no way.
  • This scenario is giving me anxiety.....and the "phantom pee."

    I also voted for the grass.
