WTF?

Okay, so the idea of this blog initially was to put myself out there for public scrutiny to help me fulfill some weight loss goals. Which is absurd. No one cares about some 39 year-old house wife with a cushy-ass life who hates herself because she is a little soft and squishy. Narcissistic much? Yep!
Anyway I am trying, in all areas of my life, to be better or enough. I once read a nice story that really spoke to me about the word "enough" and how it's all you ever need. So true in all areas when you really think about it...
BUT this is not the point of my post today. What, you say? Here goes...WHAT makes little boys think it's okay to pee ANYWHERE? I was at a friend's house this morning and my son informed our hostess that her son pees in the basement. Oh, and it's not just him, his older brother does it too. But wait, another friend's son was doing the same thing at their house. In both houses the playroom is in the basement. In both cases the basements are finished with carpet and furniture and other generally nice things. In both cases the kids are old enough to know better (4, 5, and 6.) AND in both cases a bathroom is only a flight of stairs away - none of us live in huge houses. My friend was mortified! As I would have been. We both had heard from the other friend (we are all a part of the same social circle) when that happen with her son, but figured it was a "one time" thing. She handled it. Who knew it was a common problem???
I used it as an opportunity to discuss bathroom habits with my son. I quizzed him on where it is acceptable to go to the bathroom and where it is not! Asked him if he'd peed on the floor, wall, furniture of our or anyone else's house? He passed...unless he is lying. (Nose picking, though, is another problem altogether! YUK! I'm working on it.)
The good news for me is that our playroom is where normal people have a dining room. The other good news is that my son is generally well behaved and a rule follower...unless pressured. Fingers crossed, right?
