Moms, is it okay to let your kids watch you poop?

I always have to take my kids to the bathroom whenever I have to poop. They are 3 and 4 years old. Since it usually takes me around 5-10 minutes finish my business I have to take them with me or else they would start crying. One of them would always sit on my lap as I do it. I don't know if it's okay since my kids can hear the sounds, smell and watch me wipe myself.

  • As a small child I remember my mother taking me into the bathroom and sitting me in the empty bathtub along with some sort of toy while she used the toilet. A small child left unattended could be injured or worse in 5-10 minutes, so caution is warranted.

  • I was also once unsure if it's okay or not, but now I think it's totally okay. Actually many moms do this, it's not just you. Sometimes it's safer to take your kids to the bathroom with you than leaving them alone. Maybe you can keep them in the tub with some toys till you finish your business.

  • What’s the issue?
    It’s not as if your loo is clear glass and they can see all the action!
    It’s perfectly normal.

    • Do you take them with you?

    • Yeah no. It’s not normal.

  • I think I used to just put my son in his play pen out in the living room.
    I would have cartoons on.
    Then I would go down the hall and into the bathroom.
    I would leave the door open. He couldn't see me, but if he called out he could hear me say that I would be right back.

  • Yeah most mothers will know your pain and sympathise.

    • You've been through the same?

    • You give up your right to privacy for a few years. Welcome to motherhood.

  • Even to this day, my mother still doesn't have privacy in the bathroom. Even after I moved out. I still just walk in and talk with her.
    I think it's pretty normal, especially for mothers to let their kids come with them.

  • It's fine. Why wouldn't it be?

  • of course lol it’s non sexual and innocent in nature for both mothers and kids your fine 😂

  • My Mother stopped watching me when I was about eight years old. Some things deserve privacy.

  • Many moms do this. It's okay, they are still little kids and whatever business you are doing is covered to the toilet bowl so they don't get to see it.

  • It’s straight normal.

  • It sounds fine to do these kids nowadays can get into things if moms using the toilet so I would suggest that it's fine... This one girl from an old website that shutdown told a story once when she was younger, her dad would take her in a men's bathroom when she was little and it affected her life into her adult life so who knows... Now I believe it was a restroom inside of Bar/Club scene and she said, all these men would be at these urinals urinating so it affected her life?

  • do they look into your eyes?

    • They talk with me, sit on my lap and play.

    • That's adorable, id allow it. But I mean you could just put them in the bathtub or make a little play area for them in the corner if the bathroom is big.

    • Lmao I've realised why, during potty training moms make it all fun xD

  • I don't see the big deal with it, lots of family are pretty free with their bodies, just do what works for you ;)

  • Sitting on your lap is weird otherwise it's normal

  • It’s okay.

    • do you take your kids too?

  • The smell won't be

  • 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

  • Women poop? Lol, Probably no big deal at this point at those ages but later on you won’t need to have them there

  • Even if you have diarrhea?

    • They don't mind
