My DP has terrible teeth - childhood neglect - and has to brush his teeth a couple of times a day, goes to dental hospital.
I don't think he ever brushes his teeth in the bathroom ...he walks around brushing them - and often leaves toothbrushes in the kitchen - drives me mad - but I am resigned and just chuck any he leaves hanging around (in the cutlery drainer sometimes- yuck) in a drawer he has in there for his things.
He also has his own toothpaste - after much fuming by me - usually cos I've been running late and not being able to find it - he has stopped taking the tube out the bathroom and leaving it in random places around the house.
The other day he came home with an electric rechargeable toothbrush.
Great -that's nice - where are you going to plug it in?
I suggested he could use his bedside single socket - he already has a radio, clock and plugs his netbook in there too - behind his bedside table so a bit of a hassle -but only spare sensible place anyway.
We have a 1960s built house -with the normal shortage of sockets - except in the kitchen refurbished and rewired a couple of years- we have lots of sockets - but really only one spare because we charge our phones/ipods in there ..(I have phone charger holders -so they don't sit on work top)
Got up this morning (he's gone to work) and the toothbrush unit is plugged in in the kitchen - next to the kettle - worse he was showing it to DCs and suggested they might want to use it - DD2 came downstairs to get hers this morning...
AIBU to say no way is it staying there ...toothbrushes don't belong in a kitchen (and we have enough clutter on our worktops anyway)...
