We have been using wet and dirty for the bathroom. I was toled that its very bad for kids to learn that it can make a bad impression. What is a good way to use for the bathroom?

What do you mean, what word do you use for the word bathroom? We use the word bathroom. I might say toilet sometimes, but usually bathroom.

I think op means number 1 vs number 2.

I think the OP is asking for advice about what words to use, or teach, to her children in regards to elimination.

Read the opening post. It's about 1-2 sentences and written extremely incoherently.

Is it possible that the author's first language might not be English? Or that they struggle with spelling?
Or that she has been told something and is asking for other people's opinions, so she can do the best for her children?

Or does bathroom and toilet terminology excite or offend you in some way?

so what about number 1 or number two.

Wet would make sense. I don't know how that's a bad connotation. not sure what's a better word than dirty for number 2 my hubby's family uses wet and dirty to.

I won't say what my family used cuz I don't think it's the best way to call it.

Ask the person who told you it gives a bad impression what she would recommend.

Sorry, OP and anyone else that got offended. I was in an irritable mood when I read that and seriously thought I was being funny. Now I see I wasn't. Sorry.

We say pishy and poopy. DD is only 1 1/2 though, so I guess when she's older we'd transition to something more technical/less babyish?
I have no issue with "wet" but I can see why people might say "dirty" gives the wrong connotation.

wet and dirty. Don't see anything wrong with it. My father sometimes asks him if he made cocky, but I don't like that word. I prefer either number 2 or dirty.

pishy and poopoo.

I don't think there is any right and wrong. Whatever you call it your child has to know that they are not BAD words, just words that are kept for the bathroom.

I have a nephew who says "I made a bunch" and a niece that says "a huge kak!"

So long as they don't run around in school saying these words...you can choose whatever you want
