Husband is disabled, uses a portable urinal in his puppy training covered lift chair. 7 yr old visits. sees urinal. problem? Mom is mad. He does not pee in front of her. She can't come and visit any more and says it is illegal for her daughter to be exposed. A urinal??? Suggestions what I can do?
There is a whole lot of family dysfunction implied by this kind of attitude.
It is not illegal for a child to be exposed to toilets, baby-changing tables, portable urinals, or catheter bags. That claim is nonsense. Some of these things might need to be explained to a child seeing them for the first time, and the explanation may vary by the child's age. But illegal? Give me a break.
So, who is trying to prevent the child's visits, and what are the REAL reasons behind this attempt?
I'm not understanding what kind of urinal it is. My dad had one that is just a plastic bottle-type thing with a lid. That could easily be put away in the bathroom or another room during granddaughter's visit.
Seven might be a bit young to try to explain what is going on with granddad, so I'd suggest you just put the urinal in another place where it's not visible during her visits.
