So this happened on Friday and I think its time to share it with the world. I have two kids, both boys, one at school age and one at nursery age (kindgarten for the americans). On Friday morning I had a lot to do in the morning while getting them ready for school, so I was running incredibly behind to the point of potentially being late dropping them off. I hadn’t peed yet due to all the rushing around and frankly I just didn’t have the time if I wanted to get them there on time so I made a judgement call that I could probably hold it until I got back home after dropping them off. So I got them in the car and we headed off. Unfortunately due to two pregnancies my bladder isnt what it used to be and I was very wrong about being able to hold it. I needed to go urgently. This was probably a stupid decision from me, but the closest public toilet to where we were was the library in the complete opposite direction, which would 100% make them late for school. So in an effort to still try and get them there on time I decided to bite the bullet and pulled over at a quiet spot, hopped out the car, opened both doors and had an emergency pee right there. The boys thought it was absolutely hysterical and kept giggling at the sight of watching mummy pee outside. I got back in the car and continued on. Despite all my efforts, we were still a few minutes late. To make matters worse, as I was apologising for them being late, my oldest decides to say “mum had to stop for a wee outside the car” which led to a very fun conversation about my earlier relief. I also heard he apparently kept telling this to his friends and classmates, so I think I’m now known as the mum who pees in public. The things I’ve done after having kids are things I never thought I’d have done in my life, but I guess thats part of the experience.
TLDR: taking kids to school, was going to be late so didnt pee before leaving, had to stop to pee, son decided to tell people about this
