to canvas views on loo incident?

[haventkilledtheorchidyet]

OK, so this morning I was in our (one) shower when DS (13) announced he needed a poo. DD (15) was in the other toilet doing her makeup. I told DS to go to the other toilet, as I wasn't hugely comfortable with him pooing in my presence, and didn't want to get cold by coming out of the shower half way through. DD refused entry to the other loo on the basis that she would be needing to go back into the room to finish her makeup and it would smell. DH refused to intervene and so I had to allow DS access, although I didn't get out the shower, as I thought that would be worse. Cue huge ruckus.

Was DH being U, or was I?

DD should've moved and DH should've intervened to get her to leave toilet. You could've also made him wait a sec and had a speed shower!

DD needs to do as she's told.

DD was unreasonable. Taking over the toilet or bathroom areas at peak times to do make-up impacts everyone. She should be doing it in her room. Get a mirror and light in there if it is too dark. Some make-up mirrors come with their own lights.

Hang on, so NONE OF YOU have ever had a poo while someone else was in the bathroom???

My family must be really weird as we all use the bathroom when other people are in it. We only have 1 bathroom and if DSD18 is in the shower and DD6 needs the loo then she just walks in and uses the loo (making sure NOT to flush as it makes the shower go freezing)

I often go to the loo when DH is in the shower because I like perving on him because I usually can't hold it and he does the same when I'm in the shower cos he's also a perv

How are you all so prudish???

"My family must be really weird as we all use the bathroom when other people are in it. "

Yup-us too, if needs be.

Well, DH didn't actually do anything...?

Not sure what the question is, other than why your DD can't do her make-up in her bedroom? Or any room with a mirror?

I don't want anyone else in the bathroom when I am using it. If that makes me prudish then so be it.

DD needs to do her make up in her room, she's only 15, how long does it take? Is this just another Friday toilet thread.🚾 😳

FooFighter99 Fair. I AM actually a massive loo prude. I don’t believe I’m uptight about anything else but I do not use the loo in front of other people. I hate ensuite bathrooms - they feel weirdly public. It’s a wonder I’m not constipated frankly.

Get Dd one of those big ring lights for Christmas and a nice mirror, job done. Lock door and ignore rukus in the future as well.

@gamerchick

I really want to know what some people get out of talking about shit.

Me too.

A week never goes by without a thread about how annoyed someone is that someone took a stinky shit in their presence!

NEWSFLASH: SHIT STINKS.

I don't think it is particularly prudish not to want to be in the same room as someone going for a crap

Just lock the door. Problem solved. Surely you could think of that without having to post on MN about it.

SOmetimes you cant wait (and if you can avoid it its really best not too)

Toilets are for well going to the loo not doing make up - going to the loo should always take priority

Also he had been waiting 10 minutes already how long do showers need to be

It's a pretty odd thing to put on here, but since you ask how about getting a nice big illuminating make up mirror for your daughter for her room - at least next time will be sorted.

DD was BU. But maybe you were BU by not putting a mirror in her room?
