I get it, when little boys go to the bathroom, they have to get completely naked from the waist down. This means they take off their pants, which may or may not get back on. Okay, I'm over that. They also take off their underwear, which saves us all a lot of laundry. Then the underwear gets inside-out (or "inside-in" if your kid is almost 4 and only listens to half of what you say before he runs with it and says the wrong thing over and over). It's my job as the parent to discreetly fix the underwear and hand it back to him so he will put it back on like it's no big deal and then, maybe, put his pants back on. But I'm not making a big deal about anything because he shouldn't be ashamed of the potty or his body or whatever.
So now he comes out of the bathroom, naked from the waist down, swinging his underwear in circles and shouting "MOM! LOOK! MY UNDERWEAR LOOKS JUST LIKE SATURN!"
Do you have any idea how hard it is to be discreet when you are getting brushed in the face with a little boy's underwear while he is half naked and yelling at you?
We can never go out in public.
