Potty training in public

Infant port-a-potties must be the new thing. Last week I saw a mother having her kid go to the bathroom in one of them in the back of a pick-up truck in the parking lot of a local supermarket. Now here's a story about a mother who whipped out a port-a-potty in the middle of a crowded deli, and had her kid do her business right there, as the other diners looked on in disbelief. One diner snapped a photo, for the benefit of the internet.

The next thing we will have on REALITY TV is marathon hot dog eating contests. The contestants sit on port-a-potties for a week eating a sponsor's hot dogs and drink. A pre-start enema is mandatory. The winner will have the fullest potty. SBDs are allowed. (silent but deadly farts)

I get up tight when they sit their kid on the counter or table. I just don't think a sh1tty diaper is that sanitary.

This is so over the edge!

This totally defeats the purpose of potty training! The kid is used to letting go wherever he is to begin with; potty training is supposed to teach them to hold it until they can get to the bathroom, right? I also hate it when they sit kids on table and counters; I always ask the staff to get a clean rag and wipe the table with cleaner. Sometimes they use the same rag for seats and tables, which is against the health code where I live. I wonder how that woman would feel if an adult pulled out a potty seat and took a dump next to her angel baby.

Gives new meaning to "in one end, out the other". In other words, a food processor!!

...just in case the kid with the 6hr. old stagnant diaper wasn't bad enough.

Wow, that's definitely out there!

That is pretty crazy. I am trying to learn all about potty training before getting started but I definitely know the training in public is not something I would want to do. Has anyone heard about the potty training in 3 days and if it works?
