A Very Public Potty Training

When is the right time to potty train your toddler? Well, according to this unnamed Utah woman, any time is the right time, including having lunch at a restaurant.

Another patron at the restaurant snapped a photo of the incident, which has since gone viral:

"I noticed that this lady was having her two — she had two twins, two little girls about 2-and-a-half years old, sitting on what I thought were booster seats," Decker said.

But after doing a double take, she realized they weren't booster seats, they were child port-a-potties.

"She had to undo the jumpsuits, and take them all the way down so they were completely nude, with the jumpsuits down to their ankles just eating their chicken nuggets, sitting on little toddler potties," Decker said.

Decker snapped a picture on her cell phone, while she and her friend stared in awe.

To teach your kid that it's ok to go to the bathroom at the table & fully undress them is wrong at so many levels. Especially in public with strangers around, who knows what pervs are lurking nearby. Think what could happen if she tripped while taking the potty to dump it in the bathroom...the contents landing on other customers and/or their food.

How rude to the other diners! No one should have to sit at a table next to someone relieving themselves in a porta potty. If you're paying to dine out, you should be able to expect that the other diners will be living up to our culture's standards for table ettiquette, and that generally means not being naked and most certainly means not using the bathroom at the table. Why on earth did management allow this to go on? If the restaurant didn't have the basic decency to tell the mother that her kids needed to be in appropriate dress and couldn't potty in the dining room, I hope they at least comped the rest of the patrons' meals.

I can't understand how anyone would not know that this isn't acceptable behavior. I feel sorry for every teacher, school official and everyone on down the line that has to deal with this woman and her kids.

This is totally unacceptable. They should have been ejected from the restaurant.

Having twin toddlers might drive you insane. But you have to keep the insanity contained.
