Potty training is often considered an unpleasant task facing parents, but under current social norms, it has to be done. And like most bathroom activities, it’s usually a private event.

One mother of twins in Utah, though, took her training public, placing her daughters on potty training toilets — you know, the plastic seats with a little toilet lid — at a public restaurant’s table. KSL-TV reports Kimberly Decker, who was in the restaurant at the time, snapped a photo of this disturbing scene and posted it on Facebook.

Just when you thought you'd seen it all...

There is no decency left anymore.

Poor kids. They are going to be slapping their idiot Mom up the side of the head when they are teenagers and some jealous high school “friend” decides she wants to embarrass them.

[WakeUpAndVote]

Perfectly normal. In a third world country.

what the hell is wrong with people?

[Wiser now]

I distinctly remember either hiring a babysitter or dropping my kids off at my mom’s when they were at that age.I would not have carried one toddler potty with me, much less two!
Geez, woman, either go home for lunch or leave them in their diapers until lunch is over then change them in the restroom.

It’s the Zombie Apocalypse. And those weren’t chicken nuggets.

I would have taken my dinner to her table and dropped it on her table.

Believe me, I would have.

I suppose you could say they are ignorant, but that just doesn’t seem to be enough.

[Revolting cat!]

Perfectly normal. In a third world country.

... such as we are becoming.

This is a 3rd world country already...have you been to S. Central L.A?

And I thought it was strange when I saw the same thing in the parking lot at Harris Teeter. The mother at least had the potty in the back of an SUV, but she could have closed the door maybe!

I saw an idiot parent moment yesterday evening at the local Walmart Pharmacy. I was stopping by to pick up my mother's prescriptions when I noticed a haggy tattooed redneck toothless woman having her son try on pairs of reading glasses and asking him to look off at signs on the wall (far away) to find the pair that worked best... Some people just shouldn't breed..

[lurk]

Self absorption. It’s all about me. Beginning with the mom and being taught to the kids.

Bush’s fault?

[Boogieman]

Most younger women don’t know how to cook a lick, and I wouldn’t be surprised if throwing some frozen chicken nuggets on a baking sheet for twenty minutes was beyond her.

HOW would a person logistically get the two toddlers and two toilet seat contraptions all out of the car and into the restaurant in the first place?

And I can only imagine it was done FOR the attention, because it would be too much effort for any other reason.

My high school had Home Economics class. And they even made us guys take a semester. And it was not exactly ancient history.

[GOYAKLA]

We are there now, since January 2009!
Remember the OWS dude using the Police Car for a potty?

[ladyjane]

That breaks my heart to read that. Most mothers really do care about their children.

BTW - about 100 years ago children used to potty train well before the age of 2 years. Boys and girls alike wore what looked like dresses. hmmm...
