If you have a potty trained kid ????

[vthokie]

What do you do for potty trips when you are out with your SO? Does the same sex parent always take them? Do you switch off?
I always take her the first trip, because maybe it's the only one. Then, H and I take turns. Partially because want him to be comfortable taking her no matter where he may be. Partially because I don't want to run to the potty 87 times in 1 day.

What do you do?

I typically always take H.

[kdrake8]

If I'm available, I take her. He has taken her out alone and obviously he takes her then. Or today at the dr I was getting Carson ready to go and she asked so Scott took her, but it was a single stall behind a locking door.

We always let H choose when we were both with him. He chose me most of the time pre age 5. Then he wanted to only be in the men's room/have DH take him. Now he goes by himself in smaller venues

Most of the time DH takes her now since it's gotten hard for me to run to the bathroom, to lift her onto the toilet, and to lift her up to the sink to wash her hands. If there's a family restroom he uses that option but otherwise just the stalls of regular men's rooms. I think we'll go back to dividing it pretty equally after DS is born until she's old enough to prefer going to the women's room with me.

We usually take turns.

H normally takes him but that's only because that's who he wants to take him.

I've been having H take her more because I'm so pregnant and just want to sit and rest haha
But I still take her a lot because I usually have too pee anyway.

He never minds taking her and I don't think it's a big deal until about 4

[carawestt]

I always take him.

[fusion]

I usually make H take him.

Whoever is available at the time. Sometimes we play rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock for it. Lol

I usually take her. But there's never really one than one potty break per trip so maybe we would switch if there was.

Most of the time we only have one trip. Unless we aren't paying her enough attention. Or if she likes the bathroom. I hate when she likes the bathroom. She hates the air dryers, especially the turbo ones, so I always hope that's what is in the bathroom so we don't have repeat trips.

Edie is pretty sensitive to loud noises (which is weird because she's THE LOUDEST KID), so maybe she's always so good at potty because she hates bathrooms!  Flushing/hand dryers.  She does love washing her hands, though.  As does Adeline (though we're not potty training).

Me nearly, if not totally, all the time.

I think excessive hand washing brings us to the bathroom too. She loves it. And such a pain in bathrooms because there's no stool
