O Divine Guide, as I embark on this challenging journey of potty training, help me resist the urge to broadcast every little detail of my child’s adventures (and misadventures) in the bathroom across social media. May my Facebook posts not celebrate the thrill of finding a successful deposit in the toilet, nor may my Twitter feed echo my exasperation at the inevitable accidents that come with this rite of passage.
Grant me the wisdom, O Lord, to exercise restraint and the art of self-censorship. Let my friends and family be spared the endless tales of potty escapades, mishaps with undergarments, and the intricate dance of potty schedules. May the only audience for such stories be the grandparents, for this is truly their calling.
Bestow upon me the understanding that the only individuals interested in the kind of underwear my child wears are those with sinister motives. Should any unsavory characters somehow stumble upon my innocent posts, I pray for a protective force—perhaps a ferocious honey badger—to appear and scare them away. Because let’s be real, honey badgers don’t care, and that’s exactly what we need in such situations.
Be my guiding conscience, dear Lord, as I pause before sharing photos of my little one perched on the toilet, bare as can be, even if her smile is adorable. May I ask myself, “Would I want my own image shared like this?” and let the answer be a resounding no—after all, some folks have strange interests.
Help me remember that bathroom time is a sacred space, a private moment, and that discussions about bodily functions are not the cutest topics to share with the world, even if it’s framed by a toddler’s cherubic smile instead of a grown person’s hairy backside.
Lastly, Lord, grant me the clarity to see my child as a little person with her own thoughts and feelings and the right to her own privacy, not just as my baby.
Hear my humble request, O Lord, and guide me away from foolishness. I pray this in Your name, forever and ever. Amen.
