OMG! P's friend peed all over the floor.

PearlieGirl'sMom

P had her friend from across the street over. Next thing I know, the friend comes down the stairs and says, "I need to go home, I peed all over myself." And she was soaked. I didn't hear anything going on upstairs, so I asked her why she didn't use the toilet.

A little later, I go to use the bathroom and it is like a flood of yellow all over the floor.

Now, he mom and I are friends so I called to tell her and said, "Are you going to clean it up?" And she thought it was hilarious and said, "Hell, no!"

OMG it was just so gross!

Was it really that gross? I really can't figure that out. If he had diarrhea on the floor, I could see why you'd think it was gross, but pee is...pee.

I would be grossed out if some other kid's pee was all over my floor too. And if I knew my kid did that at the neighbor's house, I would definitely offer to clean it up.

It happens.  They are called kids.  My kids done it, my friends kids have done it.  Not a big deal.

It would be different if it was my own child's pee..

I've cleaned pee accidents from several friends, no big deal.

Pee doesn't bother me, but I think I'm desensitized since Jackson likes to pee on the floor regularly.

Ok, not regularly but when he was insisting on standing to pee he had several "accidents."

Pee on the floor is gross, and while it sucks that the friend had an accident, I can't believe you called the mom and asked her to come over and clean it up.  If she was there when it happened - perfectly fine, and I would expect her to offer but to call her and ask? Wow.

You called the mom to come to your house and clean up the pee?  Really?!

bebemama

Um, pretty sure she was kidding when she asked the neighbor to come clean it.  She said they are friends.  Relax GHM, we got it, your cool with pee.

I did suggest the mother come over and clean it. It wasn't just a puddle... it was more like a flood... all over the toilet, the stools, the floor out into the hallway. Believe me, her mother would have asked the same of me if the shoe was on the other foot and I would have done it. I think if it was more of a casual play date, I wouldn't ask. But since our kids are in and out of each other's house.

Seriously?

I more said it like, Omg, guess what she did? Wanna come clean it? Ha Ha.

I probably would not have asked her to come and clean it but I would have expected her to do the decent thing and offer to come and do it, much less not say "No" when you did ask.  That's ridiculous that anyone would make you feel like you have to justify *not* wanting to clean up someone else's pee.  I probably would have done it anyway but I wouldn't have wanted to.  Changing other people's kids' poop diapers is completely different from changing your own kids'.  I don't know why; it just is.

This I find a little weird. I actually think the OPPOSITE. If a child is in and out of your house all the time, I would think you would be more "okay" with random accidents and such. Almost like you are a secondary caregiver in a way.

 

But also, if you invite small children into your house, you are opening the door for random pee, poop and puke. That is just how small children roll.

Yeah, it's a little child. Little children sometimes have accidents. It sucks. But the other mom probably thought you were joking about coming to clean it up, especially if you said it in a joking manner.

IDK, my first instinct would be to just clean up the pee that had been sitting on my bathroom floor and maybe let the other mom know later.

summerbrideDC

I cannot believe you expected the other mom to come over and clean up the accident.  

It was an accident! Not like she told her kid, "you go over there and pee on that woman's floor!" 

And I agree w/ those who said, when you invite a little kid into your house, you open yourself up to dealing w/ this.  It's pee.  This is not a big deal.

This exactly.  I may have called the mom to give her a heads up about the accident (although I am sure she would have figured it out when her child came home) but I never would have expected her to clean it up.

Personally, I think it is gross to clean up someone else's child's anything (pee, poop, vomit).  But...having said that, if it was on MY floor I would have cleaned it up (so it didn't sit there any longer) AND then called the mom and told her she "owed you one".  I think it is even more weird that her kid came home soaked and she didn't call YOU!

This post is so strange to me!  Kate has peed on plenty of my friend's floors, and her little friends have all peed on mine.  No biggie.  It was the BATHROOM floor.  Not carpet.  And it was PEE.  Not vomit or poop.  Honestly, I would think you were so strange and uptight if I were the other mom and you called me to come and clean it up.  Seriously?  When it's happened to me (on both ends, mom of the pee offender and mom of the offended floors) it's just been cleaned up by whoever was around and laughed about later.  Hell, kids have puked on my furniture and I've still not demanded that their mothers clean it up.  Weird, weird, weird.
