When toddlers pee in anger.

A poem for my living room carpet:
They said you were dirty
but what did they know
I’ve cared for you plenty
and boy does it show
You’re not even black yet
just a dingy grey
I swore that I’d steam you
one of these days
Then a cranky toddler
had fits he did throw
got time out, and got back
at Mom with Pee Shows.
Oh carpet, it soaked in
and I waited too long
I steamed you last night
now you smell like burnt schlong (??? sorry, it rhymed)
Another Mom Lesson
with answers you seek:
don’t let it soak in! when
you do clean, it REEKS.

OMG! My daughter TOTALLY did this when she was about 2 and a half. She took off her diaper and peed in little spots ALL OVER HER ROOM because I put her in timeout. She is now 10. And she is brilliant. Takes a brilliant kid to do crap like that. (no pun intended)
We just got new carpet and her room finally smells good. 8+ years later.

I hate carpets. In my perfect (dream) world, my house is tiled from one end to the other. With washable area rugs in places where tootsies need warmth, like the bedside, in front of the couch, a more servicable rug in front of the kitchen sink.

ROtFLMAO. Thank-you. Your poem made my morning.
Oh carpet, it soaked in

That’s my favorite part.

LOL…I could use this same poem for my living room rug. It has been peed on by both my nephew and guinea pig. It has been spit up on. It has had tons of food dropped and drinks spilled on it. And yes, it stinks!

I had my couch steam cleaned after my kid peed on it one too many times and it was the most foul smell as all the dirt and piss residue was being sucked out of the cushions. Dis-gus-ting!!

I agree, my ideal house has NO CARPET AT ALL only hardwood and tile. I’d basically like to be able to hose it down. And this comes from only having pets, I can’t imagine the havoc of someone doing it ON PURPOSE! Ha ha!

The great thing about having all hardwood flooring is that when my little punk peed in anger, he sometimes slipped in it and fell on his ass. I tried not to laugh, really I did…

Poor carpet.
Hopefully the burnt smell has subsided now that its dry.

At least it’s just pee though! JUST this morning, Kendall POOPED in the entertainment room/office~& this wasn’t the 1st time~he’s done it a couple of times before. WTHeck?!? I just wonder what was going thru his little mind as he squatted on the floor to do his business?!? The 1st couple times he did it, we just talked about it & I told him he’s not supposed to do that & that he knows better & made him TELL me where he’s supposed to poopie & tee tee~& he told me the potty. So, this morning when he did it, we talked about it & then he had to go to time out~I will NOT let him keep doing this~it’s insane! And, he KNOWS better!
W/that being said, next year w/our income tax refund, we’re replacing the carpet we have in all 3 bedrooms w/hardwood & the entertainment room/office w/tile. We have hardwood in our dining room, family room & hall & tile in the boy’s bathroom & our master bath & also in our kitchen & laundry room & it’s MUCH easier to take care of; especially when you have little kiddies
Hopefully Braden will grow out of it soon as well as my Kendall
I guess we’re just special Moms that way~just sayin’

Last night was David’s turn with kid baths. He came in asking for his other pg bottoms because he said Baby Girl sat on his leg and now it smelled like “butt grease”. I couldn’t stop laughing. Poor baby. She’s still learning how to wipe. She’ll get there I’m sure.

This is too funny!
That stands for cat pee, too, by the way. Not just toddlers.

Oh thank you so much for this humorous warning. I don’t have a toddler, but I have a teen and my carpets are really bad. Maybe I should just skip to the new flooring…

First of all, HTF do you KNOW what burnt schlong smells like?
Second of all, Isobel does that pees out of spite. And she’s fully potty trained, so that’s one of the few times I can call her a bitch in my head and not feel guilty for it.

This is a great poem but I have to be honest that I never read it until now.
Did you make it yourself?

I already feel relieved not to have carpets, even though I don’t have children yet.
very witty poem though!

At least he doesn’t try to paint the walls with poo. I’ve been told that one of my siblings did that. In a rental house. A week before they were moving out and the day BEFORE an inspection of the property.
Mom was not amused.

oh yuck. My oldest daughter used to get up in the night when she was about 2 and eat things out of the refrigerator. I would find things like a dozen broken eggs, or a 2 lb jar of smuckers grape jelly smooshed into the carpet in her bedroom. finally out of desperation i duct taped the refrigerator shut. That night, I was awakened to a siren scream at 3 in the morning, “The refrierator is stuck!’ She is 35 now and never ever will I let her forget that.

Too funny! My living room furniture is pretty much ruined – not with pee but with markers, crayons and even some stickers. I give up on having a perfectly clean house and let the crumbs fall where they may – I will vacuum them up some day . . .
