AIBU to have a poo in the evening?

Loftyjen · 08/12/2013 23:47

DH claims poo'ing in the evening (after 10pm) is abnormal & that it is weird and IBU to do it.
tbh, I poo when I have time/am able to & with a 3 yo & 3 wo this is most often when he's around, but I don't deliberately hang on until the evening.

He claims that most people are like him & will hold into it rather than poo in the evening - according to him, all poo'ing should be done in the morning (ideally mid-morning going by his w/e habits) & that variation in the time of day that I go is weird & I should just hold on & go in the morning (like him).

Please reassure me that he's the weird one who's BU Wink

I crap at any time of day. Whenever the urge takes me. My dp is like yours, has a very fixed routine. I think it's a man thing.

He'll give himself bowel cancer.

Poo when you need to, sleep when you're tired, drink when you're thirsty, eat when you're hungry. LTB when you've had enough.
Simples.

You would BVU to hold on til morning.

BohemianGirl · 08/12/2013 23:53

Most people have routines. Morning is normal.

He holds on until morning??? He must be very farty in bed then. He's the one BU, not you.

frogspoon · 08/12/2013 23:59

I poo when I need to. When I need to poo, I won't hold it unless it is an inconvenient moment, and even then not for more than an hour or so. I think I would get quite uncomfortable and constipated if I held on all night if I needed a poo.

(I have never said poo so many times in a post before!)

trufflesnuffler · 09/12/2013 00:05

I wish I could poo I've eaten my body weight in grub last 7 days and barely an angelhair spaghetti had passed my chocolate-box. It's very distressing. YANBU... poo away.

Daddypigsgusset · 09/12/2013 00:20

I had a poo at 10pm this evening. Dh came in the bathroom, said I stink, I'm disgusting, out of order, what am I playing at shitting at this ungodly hour etc. then proceeded to piss in the bath as I was in his way. And im the minger he reckons!!!

Myperfectdisease · 09/12/2013 00:27

I always poo before bed. Occasionally after lunch. Never in the morning, I just don't need to then.

DH always poos in the morning. Must be a man thing.

FortyDoorsToNowhere · 09/12/2013 00:28

When I need to go I need to go.

VanitasVanitatum · 09/12/2013 00:38

daddypig is your dh normally that rude and disgusting?!

Tikkamasala · 09/12/2013 00:38

Confused surely the normal thing is to just go when you need to - no need to schedule it. I certainly would not hold in a poo overnight if I needed to go, don't understand the reasoning behind that one at all. Bizarre !

FriendlyElephant · 09/12/2013 00:41

Daddypig- LTB. Wtf?

Is that a joke?

Jinsei · 09/12/2013 00:43

Gosh, I thought it was just my DH who thought poos should be restricted to the mornings only! I poo as and when I feel the need, and so does dd, but DH is always very Hmm if either of us do it after around 11am.

daddypig your DH doesn't sound very nice at all. :(

Weeantwee · 09/12/2013 00:44

Does it matter what time of day you go? Surely its worse to hold it in. I have IBS and when I feel the need to go then I need to go! Your Dh is weird and disgusting if he really did pee in the bath!

SoloXantiaClaws · 09/12/2013 00:46

Shock@ daddypigs Dh.

usualsuspect · 09/12/2013 00:46

Daddypig really is an odd poster

OP just have a shit when you need one

steff13 · 09/12/2013 01:04

I am intrigued by his assertion that most people are like him; has he taken a poll?

What is the reason why people only go in the morning, according to him? Personally, I go when I have to go.

Daddypigsgusset · 09/12/2013 01:16

He's always that miserable and rude, yes, in fact that's about as nice as he gets. Looks bad now I've read it back, I thought it was quite funny at the time. Must lock door in future

Rosencrantz · 09/12/2013 01:20

I crap around the clock.

Rosencrantz · 09/12/2013 01:22

OP! Slip laxatives into his food, then he'll have to crap at night!

(Obviously not really despite how hilarious this would be, and I much I would want to if I was married to him)

5HundredUsernamesLater · 09/12/2013 01:23

I can't believe he's got nothing better to do than to police your toileting habits
