Page 2 | Classmate with TV in bathroom

CarrieOnComplaining · 17/03/2025 07:28

People have TVs in kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms.

If I wanted to lie in the bath watching TV (I don’t) I’d much rather a proper tv on the wall than risk my phone or tablet falling in the bath while I squinted at it.

It seems entirely unremarkable.

No it’s not ridiculous. I think I’d rather enjoy watching TV while having a soak in the tub.

My in laws have two TVs in their kitchen. One massive one mounted in the wall behind the dining table, and a small one on the kitchen worktop at the far end.

The dining table one really annoys me. In spite of having two further lounges with ample seating and big TVs, it's their best TV, so they will sit around watching football on it on dining chairs rather than go somewhere comfortable. And because I happily opt to face away from the TV during meals, I get people craning their necks around me.

Why the need to be so judgemental about other peoples’ choices that have absolutely nothing to do with you?

This.

Millions of people use their phones and tablets in the loo. Films while bathing, listening to news whilst getting ready for work, or otherwise. If someone takes it a step further and mounts a TV, who cares?

I have one. When I was postpartum, I’d have a soak in the bath once DH got home and took over baby care. It was me time and the greatest thing ever. Baby is now 13 and I still like a soak and a telly session (with wine if I’m so inclined), it’s the quietest room in the house.

My son goes to a state school and his classmate keeps going on about having a TV in his bathroom. Aibu to think this is the most pointless and ridiculous thing ever!?
No amount of money would make me even consider having that!

my son said he keeps bragging about it so I said he should tell him to take a book to the bog instead!!! 🤣

It wouldn’t be for me (I rarely watch TV), but I can think of more pointless and ridiculous things than a telly in the bathroom.

What’s it got to do with going to a state school?

Polarbear2023 · 17/03/2025 01:49

We have 1 🤣 when we moved in to this house it was on the top of the list of things I wanted and no regrets. We have a lush bath and I sit and watch my itv dramas in the bath 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

What's 'ridiculous' and 'pointless' about being able to have a relaxing bath while watching an episode of your favourite TV show? Sounds epic!
You sound a bit jealous to be honest...

EMary12345 · 16/03/2025 23:51

Oooh would love this ... bubble bath, no hubby or kids and greys anatomy!!

ThinWomansBrain · 16/03/2025 23:31

Often watch a film on my laptop while in the bath.

SassySusie · 16/03/2025 23:28

I don’t watch much tv at all, it I wod
acthally love to watch while soaking in the bath.

Julimia · 16/03/2025 23:17

What on earth has school type and money got to do with this? If it's what you choose fine If it's not , fine. Do your own thing and you will encourage your children to do the same

RafaFan · 16/03/2025 23:09

What is the relevance of the state school?

FaithFables · 16/03/2025 22:39

This was my dream when I was a kid! I was determined to be rich enough to have a TV in my bathroom when I grew up. 😂Of course nowadays no one needs a TV in the bathroom, just use your phone.

Hillsaremyhappyplace · 16/03/2025 22:38

We’ve got one! Haha. We got it tiled in when we got our en-suite done. My husband loves it. Watches all his sport whilst soaking in the bath. We don’t have a TV in our bedroom if that goes in our favour 😂

DurinsBane · 16/03/2025 22:34

Jacuzzi bath? That TV is for porn 🤣

Flamingosrule · 16/03/2025 22:30

We put a tv in our bathroom .. and as someone has already mentioned, it’s actually not expensive! one of the best things we’ve done! He wants to watch rugby .. I’ll go and have a soak for an hour and watch trash tv with a glass of wine! Absolute bloody bliss! 🥰
the jacuzzi bath however - wish we hadn’t done that .. never gets used!

I suppose it’s bc they can but I don’t like to hang out in the bathroom longer than needed.

Tagyoureit · 16/03/2025 22:19

Eww!!

Germy remote control!!

Swanfeet · 16/03/2025 22:17

OP what has it got to do with you? Why does it matter to you? I can’t believe it bothered you so much you had to write about it on here. The more of your comments I read the more judgmental, self righteous and ridiculous you sound. I’d say the green eyed monster got the better of you, you just don’t want to admit it so would rather ridicule a child and their family instead.

Because it’s a strange thing to have and why brag about it!? It’s more about the bragging tbh

I used to rig up a tv in my bathroom- to watch while I was having a bath (I was about 12) it was a small black and white tv, I loved it!
