Genuinely don't know who is being unreasonable in this situation! I was visiting neighbour. We all live in tall terraced houses, with no downstairs loo. Her DD is potty training, so there was a potty in the kitchen, on a mat. DD used the potty- then her Mum emptied it in the kitchen sink and washed it away with water.
I was a bit (shock). She saw my face, and explained that wee is actually sterile when it comes out, which explains why you can drink it (if you want!) and that she puts bleach down the sink every evening, and doesn't ever use the sink for anything except getting water, as all dirty pots go in dishwasher, and she doesn't do handwashing! Plus- it was only a little girl fairy wee....
I felt that although it's not something I would do, I could see her point. However, when I told DP he was appalled, and is now refusing to go round there next weekend for the BBQ we've been invited to. Says he wouldn't enjoy the food! I've pointed out that it's unlikely she'll marinade the sausages in the sink, but he won't be budged.
So- is she unreasonable for tipping wee in the sink?
Am I unreasonable really not to care?
Or is DP unreasonable for being horrified and refusing to go round?
DP has agrees to listen to Mumsnet jury!
Thanks for reading!
AIBU?
...about wee in the kitchen sink?

Actually this reminds me of a great story. What? You want me to tell you the story? Really? Oh go on then!
My niece has this dog type dog animal pet thing dog. It had summat wrong with its arse, a blocked arse gland or summat, apparently it's very common with dog type dogs.
Anyway so she took it to the vets.
Dog wouldn't keep still so vet called for his assistant.
Assistant was about to leave for home but went in to help out, putting her bag on the floor and her coat on the chair.
Assistant had hold of dog type dog's head whilst veg was fiddling around with it's arse-end.
Niece had baby in her arms so couldn't help.
Vet shoved finger up and loosened summat and as he pulled his finger out this globbet of slimey poo just shot out and into the assistant's open handbag on the floor. Like a bullseye.
Assistant was busy with dog type dog's head and didn't notice.
Vet looked at niece and smirked.
He removed rest of pooey blockage and assistant asked if she could go.
She picked up her bag from the floor, with her coat and walked out of the surgery to go home.
Now just imagine everything you have in your handbag. Imagine a slimey wet globbet of poor rolling around in your bag, touching EVERYTHING.
Imagine opening that bag to get our your keys/phone/purse and discovering the horror that lurked there.
iseeall, my midwife used to do that with my urine sample! So I was taken unawares when I went to a hospital antenatal appointment, and they handed the pot back to me wrapped up in a bit of blue paper towel. I assumed it was empty.... not so. I unknowingly walked round for several days with a jar of cold piss in my handbag
FFS people, it's only wee. If the sink is rinsed afterwards, it will be fine.
And for all those doing the 
face, I suggest you get a few Petri dishes with some culture medium on, and take yourselves a few swabs from various places in your house not really. You will, I guarantee, be horrified.
It wouldn't bother me. A wee tipped away with hot soapy water isn't going to leave a sink unusable. I'm not sure I'd do it in front of guests though so perhaps all you germ haters are accepting drinks and meals off filthy potential kitchen sink potty emptiers like me? 
I'm not a compost expert - I'm a beginner. My sister is pretty good at it and suggested wee (male only) and another MN said about this fact too.
If you put too much grass clippings in it takes forever to get compost to go composty. DH is only allowed to put a handful in at a time. And I must get him to go wee down there
stoopstofolly nah he's still concerned, just burying it deep like men sometimes do.
Give him a cloth and dettol spray and point him at the bathroom. It'll be therapeutic. You can tell him I said so!
