Dear Care and Feeding: Why are parents encouraging this behavior?
I get it, you’re grossed out by children excreting waste nearby. From my experience, this has always been a thing, but it was even more so during COVID-lockdown times because most public restrooms were closed. If a kid has to go, then a parent needs to be prepared at all times.
Now that we’re back to some semblance of normalcy, many parents are opting for a portable potty, and although my kids are well past the age of using that kind of device, I don’t have a problem with others doing it. It seems like the people who take issue with this are the same ones who have problems with moms breastfeeding in public.
However, she is your husband’s mom, so if he wants her to have a relationship with your child, he is allowed to facilitate that. The good news is you can set the boundary that she must only visit whenever your husband is home, so there won’t be any awkwardness or other bad feelings. When she’s in your home with your husband and child, you can use that time to allow yourself to decompress from parenting and step away for a while.
