AIBU to not want a toddler trying to climb on my lap when I'm on the loo?

[WidowWadman]

I just want to poo in peace. That's all really.

YANBU but it's not going to happen.

Its even more fun when they're potty training and decide they want to use the loo whilst you are literally sitting on it

My dog wants to sit on my lap when I'm on the loo

Ooh-lighten up-you'll miss it when it stops

Our cat jumps on my husband's lap when he's sitting on the loo!

Its not going to happen. My bloody cat gets on my lap when the dc are in bed.

Fix a lock to the door. Shut the door and lock it. Et voila!

My friend told her husband the best part of their honeymoon was that she could poo in peace!

My cats sit on my lap when I'm on the loo. If the girl gets on, her brother gets stroppy and tries to push her off so he can get attention instead!

Why put up with it?

Put baby somewhere safe (in front of teletubbies used to work for me!), go to loo.

We live in a rented house with no internal door locks, so if I go to the upstairs loo, he is able to let himself in. If I go to the downstairs loo, which was for a while my salvation as it has a little catch on the inside, he demonstrates his newfound lock picking ability, and opens the door and comes in for lap time. If I close the stair gate and go to the upstairs loo, leaving him downstairs, he stands shouting 'Mama, Mama, MAMA!' Until I get constipation. Not even Fireman Sam DVDs distract him...

YANBU

I used to have toys or something and leave the door opening DH wasn't around lessens the mystery!

Couldn't care less about it. If they wanted to sit in my knee, so what? If it had bothered me that much, I suppose I'd have locked the door but then had to listen to the screams outside the door when they discovered I'd abandoned them for more than a millisecond.

Very envious of parents who could just park their young DCs in front of Cbeebies so they could get stuff done. I had to wean my DD on to TV .

Yoni - "baby" is almost 2 and a half, and very determined - really should have locked the door.

yanbu. DD tries to cuddle me whilst I'm having a poo. which is sweet and all, but not really the right time!

Yanbu. My dd joins in by sitting on her potty and giving a running commentary, " I squeezing out a big poo mummy, are you squeezing out a big poo?" Not what I want to hear.......

Our dog barges into the loo and licks my knees!

YANBU, but you haven't got a chance, really.

Cathpip yup, my DC3 2 1/2 does EXACTLY that!

Mine's normally uninterested (although likes to be in the room).

Occasionally he's asked to help wipe, and there was the one time he brought his torch to have a look...
