Partner Double Flushing

Might be a bit euggh for some but here goes.

We have a very old bathroom and an ancient toilet that guzzles water every time we flush. It must use gallons. I've got a water saver in the cistern. To save water, and the reduce bills we tend not to flush for a wee. We have two children and I'm a childminder so there is a lot of flushing going on in our house.

Recently, I heard DP use the bathroom, flush before he used it, then again. I said, why are you flushing twice? He shrugged. I said, please don't flush twice, it is just wasteful. He has ignored me and continues to flush twice. I've concluded that he thinks his wee and poo are too precious not to land in a nice clean cistern, hence the double flush.

I just think he's wasteful arse. AIBU?

YANBU for not always flushing when the kids aren't there. If your wee smells or leaves stains then you should consider drinking more water. You also don't leave it all day, just don't need to flush every single time

Let the guy use the toilet as he likes. Not flushing is grim.

Only time I don't flush is if I do a wee in the middle of the night.

Now if he's not pulling his weight financially, that is a very different problem...

Just let him flush it as he needs. Your toilet will end up reeking of stale piss if you don't flush.
