Potty Training and Entitlement

Okay, so I told myself I wouldn't complain on this blog, but let's get real here. I work retail remember? Last week was a rough one, and I was hoping work would distract me. About 4 hours into my shift, a mother came up to me and asked if I had a mop. I asked her why and she said there was a "spill". I went to the back and grabbed our dollar store mop and a handful of paper towels, and went back to where the woman was waiting for me. Next to her was her 10-year-old daughter, leggings and skirt soaked, a puddle at her feet. "I'm sorry, she had an accident and couldn't hold it. Can she have some of those towels to wipe off her feet?" I handed the towels to the girl, and went to go get a trash can for it when she was done. When I came back, she tossed the pee-soaked towels into the trash and the family walked away. Are you serious? For the next ten minutes I was on my hands and knees wiping up pee off the floor, because apparently our mop doesn't know how to ya know....mop? It didn't soak up anything. Frustrated and a little peeved, I took my break so I could breathe again. Take note people: if your kids are peeing their pants at age 10, there's a problem. And for pete's sake, don't make a stranger clean it up! I get paid, but not THAT well.

Signed,
Potty train your kids people!
