Who's a twat today?

SpotConlon · April 2017

My coworker that's been in and out sick the last several months and never seems to have anything prepped to help the people who fill in. I feel like I'm trying to fill in the gaps, too, but it's not my job!

My dog is being a twat...she has started barking full out at other dogs who get too close to me, if they aren't dogs she usually plays with. She has also started being protective in a way, where if my DH goes out for the day or something she won't just sleep on the couch, she has to stay awake and is just a pain in the ass when she is tired.
She gets 'mad' at DH now if he leaves me alone too long, like pouts at him when he comes home and lays on his feet so he can't leave.
It's equally funny and annoying, so twat covers it.

My toddler, who keeps changing his mind on whether he wants to be potty trained or not. One day accident free, the next, he takes a dump in the shower. Then good for a few days, then proceeds to (in the time span of about an hour) pee on carpet, couch, and restaurant booth. (No change of clothes, BTW, so he was pants-less in the restaurant).
And to top it off - I'm pregnant and can't drink! Oh how a glass (or bottle) of wine would take the edge off.

I'm not going to say it's your fault or anything but.. how do you not bring a change of clothes with you for your toddler when you know he's struggling? DD has been potty trained since September and I've still got a towel, clothes, and baby wipes in my trunk. Because she's a toddler and they have accidents. I'm not claiming to be saint mom here I know the struggle but, why not be prepared?
Also, your wording suggests your son sat in a restaurant in his soiled underwear?

I'm with @Nxy here. If I had the same situation you (@lissa.marrufo) just described, I'd have listed myself as the TW for not thinking to have clean clothes and underwear, not my toddler for doing normal toddler things. I'm guessing if you were at a restaurant there were probably stores nearby that you could go get some new clothes at too.

I guess I'm also struggling to understand what circumstances would lead to him being pantsless IN the restaurant. As opposed to interrupting the meal and taking him outside immediately while the food gets boxed up.

I also think it's just common sense to keep changes of pants/undies available for kids that young.

@SarahBethBR I agree. If I didn't have a change of clothes one of us would take DS out to the car and the other would pay the bill and box the food. There's no need for a pantsless kid at a restaurant.

My son has been potty trained for a year and I still have spare clothes in my car at all times. Also handy for when they projectile vomit in restaurants.

This is what I get for posting something in a group that is ready to pounce. Instead of commiserating with a process that sometimes sucks, let's all jump on the mother. NOT a safe space to vent, message received.
1) Didn't have a change of clothes because husband and I both thought the other had grabbed the diaper bag. Life happens, ppl make mistakes.
2) No, I did not sit and ignore my soiled child. Dear God. I immediately searched my car high and low and found a diaper. Changed him and finished dinner (quickly) with him in a tshirt, diaper, socks and shoes.
I know my response will most likely add fuel to the fire (seen it happen all over the place to unsuspecting women on here) so although I suspect the pile on to continue, I'm not going to engage any further. Because again, not a safe space. Never have I been in the presence of so many perfect mothers. Good. For. You.

Hey hey hey .... no one here is perfect (nor claimed to be), there was just a gross lack of explanation on your part about the circumstances surrounding the restaurant incident. I personally read that you let him sit there pantsless (which I also assumed meant diaperless because I didn't know you'd have a diaper around), not that you let him sit there soiled. But really .... easy on the snark when we just needed to have peace of mind that you tried your best to accommodate the situation.

Nxy · April 2017

Yea no one was ready to pounce you just gave us 1/4 of the story and expected everyone to agree your kiddo was a turd.
I assumed underwear because I couldn't imagine a food establishment letting you stay if he didn't have something on his bottom. And since you said he had an accident, I assumed soiled.
See if you had just added that extra information your post would have seemed less like an unprepared a-hole parent blaming her kid for being a kid and more oh that's a rough day, that sucks.
We are definitely perfect moms tho. And snarky jerks. You're wise to stay away.
