While some netizens say that the adult could be facing some issues, many were still unhappy that they allowed child to stand on a chair and urinate into a bottle.
Here are some of the arguments
Supportive comments:
- Meh, seeing this happen in public wouldn’t mess with my appetite. If it was poop, then I would be grossed out. This is still way more hygienic than people coughing.
- Please la, sometimes food court hard to get a seat n their ice kachang is their if they leave to go toilet the worker might think they left n clear their food n might come back no more seat, please be understanding children urgent
- We are adults not going to say wrong or right to do it for kids in public, especially Food courts. It’s about kids behaviour training’s.
- Pretty much standard grandma can’t take child to toilet fast enough scenario.If I was that old I wouldn’t give a crap what hyper offended people would think either
Unsupportive comments:
- If kid is not toilet trained, yet no intention to wear pampers when outside for whatever reasons, then stay at home. All reasons put forth by sympathisers like to save seat or save ice kachang or ah mah is old etc does not justify letting the kid pee into any form of receptacle, whether standing on the chair or on the ground in an eatery in full view of others. It is unhygenic, disgusting and uncivilised. And it imparts wrong values to the kid. Period .
- Sometimes don’t think the kids can do anything becos they r kids. Saw many times mothers let their kids stand on the seats in buses or trains. So kids’ shoes don’t get dirty or soiled. Won’t dirty the seats.
- This is not acceptable esp in a social setting. There are etiquettes that needs to be adhered to. It sets the wrong impression and learning to the kid not to mention the lack of mindfulness towards other diners
- Kid is small I know, but this is still unacceptable. This is a food court where people are having meal. Before going into the food court, should have ask the boy if he wanna go toilet. Just like we are asking our kid to go toilet before going out, before going home. This is pee, what if the boy wanna poo, is she gonna let the boy do it there?
- auntie is holding the bottle? The meaning this boy always pee like that when they outing. Don’t said: just the kid. If he can not tahan, use diapers for him before go out. Because they want to save a little bit money on diapers, so let the kid do that . If they already trained him, before go out will use toilet, around 2 hrs will asking him go toilet again. See the pictures, will know how they teaches the kids
- Omg this is so disgusting!! Whose mother or child is this ?? No point wearing a mask if proper hygiene not practiced!!
