If you each have a drawer in the bathroom, is the kontent totally private as in "touch and i make a scene" private, or do think of the drawers as "this is mostly what i use"?
I ask, because ds has used a razor from dp drawer and apparently it is close to deadly sin Confused

Nobody makes a scene in our house. Using someone else toothbrush would get a telling off, using a razor would barely get noticed.

Are you sure it's to do with the drawer rather than sharing razors just being grim.

MerryDeath · 09/07/2019 21:53

the second one, definitely. it's just a razor, and he is his son

I keep general items (spare toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, razors etc) in a drawer that anyone can help themselves to when they need something. I don;t have anything secret enough in any of the bathroom that I' bother if family or guests saw it. I always tell people to help themselves to whatever they need.
Your DH sounds a little uptight.

They definitely aren’t private in my house

WhateverName2 · 09/07/2019 22:17

Eh? No we just keep the stuff we use in the bathroom there. I wouldn’t mind DD taking anything any more than I’d mind her eating a biscuit from the cupboards in the kitchen.

It depends if its a new disposable razor from a pack ...or one currently being used. I seem to remember a boyfriend in the past going mad when I used his (in use) razor for shaving my legs as it blunted the blade or something..I’ve never used a blokes razor since but would take a new one.

WhateverName2 · 09/07/2019 22:24

But is razors intimately private for your dp? My dh is not ds father, but lived with him for 10 years - since he was 6 - and his stropping off was a Surprise for me. I havent notised ds needed razors, but in hindsight, assumed dh notised him using it and would just buy him some, instead of him sulking, feeling his pribate space massive invaded 🤮

I think it's because a razor is for personal use.
Really wouldn't want to use anyone else's.

We have a basket of communal stuff for guests to help themselves.

WhateverName2 · 09/07/2019 22:26

I dont think it is about it being new. Just it being his.. i never seen it coming. I dont mind Anyone using what is in my drawer. What is privately mine is in the bed room..

Maybe you can buy your DS a nice razor of his own, quite different from your DH's.

Yes razors seriously private in my family growing up, never would have used my dad's or sister's razor.

WhateverName2 · 09/07/2019 22:36

I can easily buy him one. No problem. It was just dh reaction, as if his private space was massivly invaded, and i thought it was a huge over reaction.

If i have stuff, so private i wont share it, it wont be in the shared rooms.
Ofcourse this is linked to other issues, i just need wiews on this..
