DH, DP

I've just been on another thread and lots of people were talking about toileting. Got me thinking, it seems lots of people don't mind.

So that's my question would you?.

no no no ! some things you just need to be able to alone !

ChippingIn · 28/07/2010 23:31

I generally don't, but weeing doesn't bother me too much. I mean if he was cleaning his teeth in the ensuite I would just wait until he was finished, but if I was in there and he came in it wouldn't bother me.

But no, not poo.

DaisyFields · 28/07/2010 23:32

My ex-BF used to sit on the side of the bath and play me songs on his guitar while I did a poo. The current relationship is a bit more grown-up, far more door-closing involved!

What deemented said - to the letter!

soapydishcloth · 28/07/2010 23:36

I throw the cat out and lock the door even when I'm on my own in the house. I could never have an audience of any kind - do I have ishoos I wonder?

confuddledDOTcom · 28/07/2010 23:42

We have a small room with no windows so no one in our house closes the door unless there are people around. I'm mostly on my own too so I need to be able to listen out for the children.

ChippingIn · 29/07/2010 00:06

soapydishcloth - do you have kids? I find it cures most people of their toiletting 'ishoos'!!

bronze · 29/07/2010 00:30

what deemented said to the letter too

flibbertigibbert · 29/07/2010 00:34

I don't do either in front of DP.

I also wouldn't let him see me changing a tampon. I know someone who does that with their DP and thought I was terribly prudish for not doing it. Also don't like to be seen putting a panty liner in when I get dressed.

I do pass wind in front of him though, don't have much choice with IBS.

My old cat used to sit on my lap while I was on the toilet having a poo.

diddl · 29/07/2010 08:44

girlywhirly-our cat likes to sit on husband´s lap when he´s on the toilet.

Then watches it disappear when the toilet is flushed

craftynclothy · 29/07/2010 09:03

Yes. We hardly ever shut the door if we don't have guests.

PlanetEarth · 29/07/2010 09:13

No way!

Baileysismyfriend · 29/07/2010 09:17

Wee but not poo here. I'm not really keen on being watched while weeing but when I'm in the bathroom the whole family seems to need something from in there or desperatly needs to tell me something terribly important like 'my mate Megan's friend's cousin's dog is brown' that sort of thing...

upahill · 29/07/2010 09:23

No, Nay, Never!!!

tartyhighheels · 29/07/2010 09:26

no and no

not ever, not even in labour

Tas1 · 29/07/2010 09:31

Wee - Yes
Poo - No (Unless an Energency)

SpringHeeledJack · 29/07/2010 09:36

wee- yes

poo- non

I prefer to be in an adjacent postcode when dp does a poo tbh

BarbieLovesKen · 29/07/2010 09:52

This is soo weird, just two seconds ago I was thinking of coming on here and asking the same question.

Didnt want to be repeating myself though as a few years ago on here I started a thread asking if anyone still maintained a certain level of "feminine mystic" or did bear all things private in front of there OH, this was due my own guilt that I felt that myself and DH were almost too comfortable with eachother, if there is such a thing.

I do wee, yes. Poo - definately not, actually I get quite embarrased about pooing for some strange reason and would often put toilet roll down toilet beforehand if he was in earshot to stop the plop sound PML.. . That said, I definately did the hugest poo ever in front of him when in labour with ds this year, it stank too - very embarrased but I dont think that counts.

Off topic, I know, but I have to admit that I have also been known to change a tampon/ sanitary towel in front of him, fart, squeeze spots, shave fanjo etc... I wonder if he still fancies me

He would definately poo in front of me though. I just avoid it vomit...

MrsC2010 · 29/07/2010 10:00

Never in a million years, and vice versa.

Crazycatlady · 29/07/2010 10:03

Absolutely not to either! And I would be mortified if I was caught out changing a tampon. Spot squeezing also done in private.

Farts, hmm, not so much .

MandyMcFly · 29/07/2010 10:07

No, neither! It is so not sexy, and really rather unladylike!

MrsC2010 · 29/07/2010 10:12

All bodily functions are strictly private in my eyes, as are things like tampon/panty liner changing, spot sqeezing (eew) and flossing. (Not sure why on the last one but I tend to do that on my own too!)

Honeywitch · 29/07/2010 10:14

Cat sits on my knee in the loo too but if I make a smell she gets off and glares!
Wee in front of dp never poo. He always shuts door when pooing but continues to talk thru the door which is bonkers because I have to lipread!

Rockbird · 29/07/2010 10:16

No no no no, absolutely not. There was an incident during labour which we agreed never to mention. He does mention it but jokingly so I let him off. Why would you want to do these things with an audience any older than about 7? I like my privacy.
