AIBU to make OH suffer...

CurlyJims · 29/12/2011 19:05

ok, maybe tmi but two days ago I true to use the toilet, leaving the 4DC with OH in the living room, the lock on the door is bust and he thought it was extremely funny to keep sending the kids in to tell tales and ask irrelevant questions. This infuriated me that I couldn't even be given enough privacy to use the loo - normally I can't leave all the kids in the other room unattended due to having ten week old baby and dog and cat and jealousy issues.

So anyway (sorry this is taking so long) I left the bathroom, didn't have the opportunity to relieve myself and upon return to the living room OH was ROFL- he refused to understand why I was so annoyed. I said to him (knowing full well that he can't bear strong smells) that he who laughs last laughs longest.

So now I'm sitting here with really bad wind, as a result of not being able o use the loo and he is heaving and begging me to 'hold my farts in',

AIBU in thinking that I'm not being unreasonable...?!!!

You haven't had a bowel movement in 3 days????????????

Not quite sure how that is your OH's fault, given that this incident happened 2 days ago and presumably you've been to the loo since then?

So - YABU!

Get a lock for the bathroom door

Nope, no chance to go to loo since then, seeing as cannot leave children alone for long enough!

I would have no issue using the toilet in the company of my children if they wanted the experience. Also not finding time to go to the loo is up there with those people who forget or dont have time to eat. It just wouldnt happen to me. Do your kids not sleep?

HecateGoddessOfTwelfthNight · 29/12/2011 19:13

Your children are awake 24/7?

MrsMcEnroe · 29/12/2011 19:13

I agree with Sariah. If I need the loo, I go, and if that means my kids get to watch - so be it. I'm not prepared to make myself ill.

Sorry OP, you are still BU! I bet your OH finds time to go to the loo when he's at home with you and the kids ...

GypsyMoth · 29/12/2011 19:15

God you need to sort your kids out!!

They sound as if they rule the roost. YOU are the adult you know..... And put the animals outside.... Take charge

MrsMcEnroe · 29/12/2011 19:18

Here's a practical solution. Shut the animals in the kitchen or in the garden, take the baby into the loo with you, remove all sharp objects and let the other kids argue until you've finished in the loo.

scuzy · 29/12/2011 19:19

the only one that will suffer is you what grown adult will hold onto for 3 days the obvious need for a bowel movement Jesus we teach our kids its bad to hold it. and i dont believe for one minute you dont have a chance to go .... ridiculous!

AliBellandthe40jingles · 29/12/2011 19:21

WTF? You can't leave your kids long enough to go for a poo?

You sound bonkers.

pommedenoel · 29/12/2011 19:23

I only have one child. She has had tantrums on the bathroom floor whilst I have had a shit and I have discovered that you cannot poo whilst singing.

I thought no privacy in the bog was part of the mum job description?

scuzy · 29/12/2011 19:24

exactly pommedenoel!!!

scuzy · 29/12/2011 19:25

for the love of god woman go for a dump before you get seriously ill over something soooo stupid!!!

TheMonster · 29/12/2011 19:25

Surely you can go once in three days???!!!

To2012AndBeyondTheLimits · 29/12/2011 19:26

I always took the baby in the loo with me. Even now hes a toddler I still do, its so much easier than worrying about what hes up to otherwise!

DressingGownSnowQueen · 29/12/2011 19:27

What?! Seriously?

If you need a poo go and do a poo! Why can't you go when the children are in bed? Xmas Confused

whackamole · 29/12/2011 19:28

You are mental. Seriously, you can't find 5 minutes before you go to bed to be able to have a poo? I've been alone with 4 kids today, 2 almost 3 year olds, a 10 week old and a 10 year old. Admittedly there haven't been any animals, but I've managed a shower, to dry my hair (with my new Big Hair) hoover the house and take the rubbish out. I've also had TWO poos! (Lots of Xmas chocolate still...)

Have a poo now. Put the baby in his/her bed, shut the kids in their room and throw the animals in the kitchen or outside. Really I don't know why you need to be told this.

Your OH also needs to get a grip - farts are hilarious Grin

GypsyMoth · 29/12/2011 19:29

Is this the poo troll?

SpaghettiTwirlerPrancerVixen · 29/12/2011 19:31

What the hell? Why not go when they're in bed? I agree. You sound bonkers.

HecateGoddessOfTwelfthNight · 29/12/2011 19:33

ooh, the poo troll? I have heard tell of the poo troll I thought it was a mumsnet myth Grin

scuzy · 29/12/2011 19:33

i think the OP is full of shit!

Oh god I had forgotten about the poo troll Grin

Sausagesarenottheonlyfruit · 29/12/2011 19:38

This is the weird upside down sleeping OH, yes?

littlemisssarcastic · 29/12/2011 19:39

What I don't understand is why the OP's OH finds it so hilarious to know he has sabotaged her toilet time ?

What's funny about doing your best to interrupt someone who needs the toilet??

I don't get it!!
