Yes. I have counted. If the little buggers don't turn off their 'loo-dar', I'm going to start soiling myself. Tena Lady, here we come.

NKF · 05/07/2007 22:48

if it's not the children it's bloody dh. His timing is appalling.

I'm getting hysterical.

WideWebWitch · 05/07/2007 22:53

What ARE you all on about? I go to the loo when I want and in peace. Tell them they cannot bother you, whatever it is will have to wait

jaynehater · 05/07/2007 22:55

WickedWaterWitch, are you actually childless?

NKF · 05/07/2007 22:57

Don't they rattle the door handle and call for you?

jaynehater · 05/07/2007 22:58

PS Being thick here, but what's YANBU? Running fervently and imaginatively through known acronyms but it's getting late and I'm probably quicker just swallowing my pride and asking!

WideWebWitch · 05/07/2007 22:59

Right I don't totally get this. Can't you go to the loo in the evening after they have gone to bed from time to time? Also think www must have strange children. My DD hovers close when I go to the loo, checks what is in the loo, tells me off if I flush too quickly, checks the state of my kickers etc.

Peachy · 05/07/2007 23:03

ha ha ha

its 7.5 YEARS here luv!

they stand outside gong 'mummy he hit me' 'no he hit me' and you think, what the Hella m I suposed to do from the loo?

usually whilst DH sits unharassed not three metres away

jaynehater · 05/07/2007 23:05

WWW what is your secret? Am I not forceful enough? It's not like I've not tried telling them to wait...they just don't!

Really?? Gl;ad you told me, that'd have me confused for months

Hope youre a bit skinnier than me, or at last ahve less crap hair

WideWebWitch · 05/07/2007 23:10

Well, I am Good At Ignoring
and good at bellowing "I'm in The Loo, YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT"
And the tv's on a fair bit in the mornings while we're all in tne loo/shower etc
and although ds used to be high maintenance he is now 9yo and looks after 3yo dd a bit
And they both get told in no uncertain terms "no, you cannot come in, I am going to the loo, I'll be out in a minute"

And then I ignore them
unless I think there's blood/serious A&E type injury and then I might come out, but it never is that serious.

I've found if you ignore them for a while they do go away

WideWebWitch · 05/07/2007 23:11

And we have LOCKS on both loo doors

So even if they say "Oh I wanted the loo, wah wah" we can say "well go to the other one then"

jaynehater · 05/07/2007 23:11

12 stone and counting....bought ghd's in a moment of delusion (yeah, like I'd ever spend more than 14 seconds a day on my hair, it'd be better spent barricading the bathroom..) So peachy, the separated at birth argument could rage on interminably...

WWW when I say unharassed, I include :-

door-handle rattling
tale-telling from a distance
incoherent sobbing
strange strangulated death rattles from just beyond the door

I too have door locks.

By unharassed, I mean ..... silence.

So I retract my earlier comments, you're down here with me, amongst the door-rattling harassers that we call offspring!

OP posts:
NKF · 05/07/2007 23:16

Mine once went and got a screwdriver and tried to pick the lock.

Peachy · 05/07/2007 23:17

does sound like you may be me

MN finally drove me to split eprsonalities and BOTH of thema re addicted

LOL

Peachy · 05/07/2007 23:17

(and mine once smashed the door down...)
