People shitting while I’m in the bath!!

Just got myself all settled, I have a bubble bath with a lovely lavender bath bomb, face mask on, wine and chocolates, all ready for half an hours peace

And suddenly everybody needs a poo!!

I swear this happens every single time, and I’m fairly sure they save the smelliest ones to come and do 3 feet from my head too 😤

Does this happen to anyone else? Or do my family just have an internal trigger that tells them when I’m calm and they must come put a stop to that nonsense?!

I can’t smell my lavender anymore

Try putting a bolt on the door

No downstairs loo can be a problem Tell them to go next door? I certainly wouldn't sit there in the bath while all that's going on!

I would hate that currently no poopers but my dh lets DD 15 months barge in and throw toys in my lovely rare relaxing bath...or th3 both watch me bath like F off fgs!!

As Long as it's not a delivery driverGrin

Our loo is in it's own little room but my kids still have form for running in when I'm in the shower, pointing at my fanny and shouting "You're hairy like the dog". Shitheads!

TattiePants · 04/11/2018 21:39

Both DCs have form for doing this. I wouldn't care so much but they have 3 loos to choose from and always head to where I am.

Crunchymum · 04/11/2018 21:44

We too have a separate loo, yet oddly I never get a bath in peace.

OhOk · 04/11/2018 22:03

This always happens to me! We only have one bathroom and DD(3) and DS(6) always need to go as soon as I am in. I would divorce DH if he did it though!

TyneTeas · 04/11/2018 22:07

Can't just be me thinking of this nowGrin

MorningsEleven 😂

Not a delivery driver thankfully Frances

They’re only little so I can’t kick them out yet, DP has been sent to the pub at the end of the road before now thoughwhen he just couldn’t wait conveniently as soon as my arse hit the bottom of the tub 🙄

Wondering how difficult it would be to install a toilet in the utility room ... 🤔

I grew up in a home with 1 bathroom. My father had OCD and would take (literally 3 hour) long baths every single night and get very on edge and angry if any of us needed the bathroom in that time 😠

He was a total arsehole as he wouldn’t ever bother to warn us beforehand or give us a chance to use the loo. If you share a loo with your household the decent thing to do is ‘I’m jumping in the bath/shower, anyone need the loo first?’

If they say no you’re entitled to be annoyed but if you don’t want them I would say YABU

I thought about Father Ted too..
