super awkward situation - what would you do, OOT?

Being a father, I'd help the kid. All you are doing is unfastening a belt, not pulling down his pants or exposing him. Not a big deal at all.

That's a tough one. I know as a woman, we would have no problems helping out a little child in the bathroom, but you men have it rough. Someone walks in while you're doing it and it looks BAD. Then, you know it looks bad so you try explaining what's going on which just makes you look like you're trying to hide something. The kid isn't old enough to help you explain and he's still trying not to piss himself, so he's no help to you, you then end up looking like a pedo.

Get his dad or any woman, whoever is closer to the bathroom.

UNLESS you do know the kid or the kid's parents, then it's OK.

Actually, MissT, I think you solved this one. Grabbing a woman, any woman is probably the best course of action.

Most dad's are going to be able to handle this no problem. I've got 3 kids, and I'd just ask him if his dad is around in a nice loud voice, make sure whoever else was around saw the situation, then just go help, providing the minimum needed. Silly to let a kid piss himself -- they often really can't wait long.

Still, it would be funny if just as I'm doing all this the kid's dad walks in and he's some huge biker and immediately rages out....

Am I invisible? I said that about 50 posts ago and everyone ignored me. Bastards.

the real sadness here is that you are reduced to being a cold SOB who can't help out a little kid out of fear of something looking wrong. think how things may look but also look back to when you were 5-6 and were just starting to be thought of as a "big boy" and not a baby. How horrified would you be if you pissed yourself in front of all these people. If I was in my friend's situation and had to look at the terror in this kid's eyes as he struggles not to piss himself, I don't know if I could have just stood back and let him do it.

Meh, kids piss themselves all the time. Also at no point in the OP was imminent pants-pissing or "terror in the kid's eyes" conveyed. That could be a different story.

I'm the OP. My friend did say the kid looked like he was going to cry.
