Or, as suggested by some, the kid's sippy cup LOL.

Eww! I'm glad I don't live in your household if you think that even 40-year-old men being able to aim their stream is nearly impossible.

Haha I know 40 year old men can control their aim. And a 40 year old wouldn't wait until his bladder is bursting to finally pee. But if he waited until he couldnt literally go another step before peeing his pants, the chances of successfully peeing in a bottle is pretty slim

One day instead of 1 out of 3 Americans have a record, it will be almost 3/3. The U.S. punishes far too much.

I know...people are making it seem as if everyone who has kids must travel with an empty bottle/container just in case.

Children generally start to develop good bladder control by the age of two. A three year old who is freshly potty trained, as claimed by the mother, is far behind schedule.

From mommy's entitlement attitude, there is a very good chance that she escalated a verbal warning into a citation. I notice that the citation wasn't actually for peeing in a parking lot.
Not my son. He wasn't anywhere near reliable until he was three. He also refused to pee in the car bottle. He'd become very upset, cry, and start shouting, shrieking, "NO! MOMMY, NO! I CAN'T! DON'T MAKE ME!" That got some looks. I'm surprised that no one called the police.

You make it sound like it's a bad idea. If you know your kid has trouble holding it (potty training!) why wouldn't you have a back up plan? This mom wouldn't be having to deal with the fallout if she had been better prepared. I'll never understand people who rely on luck instead of preparation.

To be honest, the mom could have gotten a ticket had the policeman seen her kid urinating in the car and so what difference does it make? Just because it's in the car doesn't make it private. There are states where you can be in your own house without clothes on but if people from outside can see you, you'd get charged.



You all complain about this but don't get mad that dogs can sh** anywhere they want at parks (as long as the owner picks up after). I can't tell you how annoying it is walking EVERYWHERE and smelling dog sh** ALL THE TIME. I'm pretty sure this lady doesn't do this often. It was probably just a spur of the moment thing and it just so happened a policeman was there. If it's something she does all the time, then of course it should be addressed.

My 3 year-old never pee'd in a parking lot. A 3 year-old is old enough to ask for a toilet, so there has to be more to this story.
It's typical uncivilized behavior these days. These are the same kinds of people who change diapers on tops of tables in restaurants to protest there being no changing tables in both restrooms.
