> Right now my kid is taking the longest dump and I'm waiting outside of the bathroom. What should I be doing?
Oh man I can sympathize with this one. I do the exact same thing -- pull up reddit or HN to bide the time while she contemplates the meaning of life on the can.
omg... this. I just spent 4 days at Disney. My 3 year old picked the most opportune times to need a poo. Like when we got to the front of a queue (after queuing for 4 minutes) and were just about to board he suddenly had the urgent need to go, or when we were sitting down for a meal.
And he's a SLOW pooper. He sits there for like 15 minutes and after a few splashes I'm like "are you done?" and he says no, nothing happening for five minutes so I ask again, nope still not done, five minutes later and still nothing at which point I'm like "right kid, it's time to shit or get off the pot already". In the meantime, I'm standing in a cramped cubicle waiting for him to finish so I can wipe his arse and make sure his hands are clean. FML.
