AIBU to use main bathroom on holiday despite en suite?

Spooky corridor, family fallouts about toilets?! Why would you book to go back to the same place if this was such an issue for you?!

Find somewhere to stay with a better layout where this won’t be an issue. Bathroom for each family and a separate toilet to share would probably be best.

Unless you are paying more for the en-suite, you don’t get your own private bathroom and then use of theirs as well.

I think they're being a bit precious, but there is maybe a bit of resentment at you getting an en suite if they might have liked one too. I would just use your own one to keep the peace, it's not really a big deal either way (spooky corridor is a ridiculous excuse and I can see why they would be annoyed at that).

You forced everyone else to have rooms without an en-suite then decided to use the main bathroom anyway 🤣🤣🤣

Bless your dear heart.

Castle apartment? Insisting on your own bathroom? Scared of a spooky corridor? Are you actually a princess?

Unless you paid a bigger share for the master/en suite then no you shouldn't be helping yourself to the other bathroom as well.

Monsters and paintings with eyes that follow you.........

It wasn't very nice of them to make a big thing out of it, but I'd probably be a bit annoyed, too, if someone got the ensuite and then used 'my' bathroom as well, especially if it were because of a spooky corridor. I've had IBS, so I understand wanting a private toilet, but you shouldn't try to have it both ways. (I'd also be annoyed at the person already bringing up the bathroom situation before you're even there, though. Not exactly a positive start to the holiday!)

YABU to be such a wet lettuce about a "spooky corridor" if the corridor scares you, give up the ensuite. You've got your way with the ensuite, so use it and leave the bathroom for the others.

But to be perfectly honest, I wouldn’t want to holiday with people who made a lot of noise and fuss about an uncomfortable and possibly embarrassing medical issue of mine. I’d find their behaviour rude and deliberately humiliating.

Is toilet humour a big feature of your family life? Lots of fart jokes and comments about smelly poos? That being your family’s norm is the only excuse I can think of for this behaviour.

This makes the most sense if OP insists on using the Main Bathroom. Obviously the others won't use it if they have their own ensuite, so win-win for OP.

No, I haven’t missed any point. The OP has taken the en-suite ( and probably the master bedroom) for herself and her husband. That means that the other bathroom is for the other couple. It is not a communal bathroom. OP’s husband and the other couple agree with that. OP doesn’t want to be inconvenienced by walking down the corridor during the day. The other couple are already inconvenienced by having to walk down the corridor at night. Swings and roundabouts.

No, as another poster says, the upgrade poo is a thing.

Makes you wonder if she’s old enough to be staying away from home and not understood what a light switch is for. OP is being totally unreasonable

If they’re paying the same it’s greedy. Each couple gets a bedroom and a bathroom. The OP was granted her wish to have the master with the ensuite so she should use that.

If there's four of you, you have a bathroom each, so the main bathroom becomes that of the other couple. Stop going in there.

Have you missed the point OP has a health issue ? Hence the en suite.

The only reason she shouldn't use the house toilet is if it's already in use.

I think you are missing the point.
People with IBS poo a lot at any time.
OP has asked for the en suite to avoid leaving anti social smells if she needs to poo, or if she needs the loo at night.

That doesn't mean she can't use the house bathroom at other times.

This thread is ridiculous and they all sound about 12.

I presume that the en-suite is off the master bedroom so you have taken the best bedroom as well. Are you paying more for your stay OP?

MN is another world.

How can a person be 'greedy' about using a toilet meant for everyone?

The en suite is so the OP can use the toilet at night or not embarrass herself and others by leaving it smelling (you surely know what IBS can be like?)

If she wants a wee, what on earth is wrong in using the other toilet?

Are the other couple fully entitled to use any toilet too?

YABU. Gut issues or not, whenever I have been on holiday with friends, we each used our designated bathroom. We did have a large ensuite last time and I would have never dreamed of going for a wee in the shared bathroom. Gross and defeats the whole purpose of you getting an ensuite.

Eh?

You really think OP is in the wrong?

Get a grip.

You are already getting what is probably the nicer, bigger room with the ensuite. Also using the main bathroom is a bit greedy. Continuing to do so when you knew the others didn’t like it is rude on your part.

Missing the point somewhat.

Sad if you have got to this stage in life and don’t understand how your behaviour affects others! Or care.

They’re being incredibly weird and frankly, bullying.

When people go for a wee they use the nearest loo. By their logic, if you were staying in a three-storey house with your en-suite on the top floor, you’d be banned from using the downstairs loo. That’s stupid, abnormal and nasty.

Certainly you shouldn’t be having baths, showers or anything other than a wee in the shared bathroom. But you’re not.
