Pooing in the en suite!!

[MisfitNinja]

Settle an age old debate between myself and my DH:

Shitting in the en suite:

Yes or no?

I say no, as it will stink the bedroom out and he disagrees and says that it doesn't matter. If he needs to go he'll go whichever toilets closets!!

'I don't need to pee in front of my DH either. Why would I?

I don't think anybody is purposefully peeing in front or their dh's. If bathroom is in use and I'm dying to pee I'm not going to wait as honestly dh isnt exactly going to look.

We just close the door during and after, plus the extractor fan comes on as soon as we go in.
It's a toilet, it's what it's designed for.
How do you go on if you stay in a hotel or similar with an en suite?

If I'm in a hotel and only one toilet then obviously everyone will use it. If I'm at home and theres a choice dh is planning one length toilet visit I will ask him to use a different bathroom as there is the choice so why not. If he was proactive in fully closing the door and adequately venting I wouldn't mind so much but he simply isnt.

Live alone so yes! My bathroom is opposite the living room so sometimes friends use my en suite instead as it's more private, which is fine by me. Rather that than the main bathroom TBH as it's so close to the living room

Heaven forbid you should shit in a toilet

I’d say no to number 2 in the downstairs toilet, which any guests use. Ensuite is surely a private space for either you or your DP to use as you like. Buy some air freshener!

I haven't even got a toilet in the family bathroom, it's just too gross and unnecessary in many places.

Bad news. When men use your “family bathroom” that doesn’t have a toilet......they still take a piss

So what if a guest needs a number 2?

I know no good Mumsnetter would shit anywhere else except her own bathroom but as I've seen it on here that guests shouldn't use the family bathroom, only the guest toilet, they might be shitting in the downstairs toilet anyway.

normal people just go to the loo...
I have heard of people (male I am guessing) peeing in the kitchen sink too, but not in my house either

We have a rule in our house. Wee downstairs and poop upstairs. Downstairs toilet is near the kitchen and i just hate any smells.

Is anybody else now thinking of the Dentons from the League of Gentlemen?

"This is the downstairs toilet - INTO WHICH WE DO NOT PASS SOLIDS!!!"

@WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll. 😂. Made me laugh. It works for us though.3 toilets upstairs so enough.

It might come as a shock to the good citizens of MN but not everyone has more than one bathroom/ toilet.

This is mad. It's never occurred to me not to use the en-suite. Just shut the door and open the window. Or use the extractor 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Germans don't get precious about it - their toilets have a little 'inspection shelf' for it all to fall on to
I can confirm this -- we found this quite amusing when we staying at a conference centre just on the german border.

I find the no loos in bathrooms idea quite odd! Eeeeh, we thought an indoors ,loo was luxury............

Apparently Charles Darwin installed a toilet AND a hip bath in his study at Downe House, but then he did have some digestive issues.

No. Its mine all mine and no one else even goes in there

A toilet is a toilet!

Citric based air freshener may be required

I agree with PP that many on here would be posting LTB if DH banned DW from using a particular toilet, so is it a clean ban or it is like us where "my" bathroom is the ensuite, whilst his is what would be the main bathroom (as we are lucky that both DS and DD have one each as well). That way, no one really smells what anyone else is doing (which can be useful) but there isn't a clear ban in desperation.

We only have one bathroom and it’s attached to our bedroom so it’s all done in there

What happens if all of your bathrooms are ensuites to bedrooms? I have 4 bedrooms which all have ensuite bathrooms. Visitors to the house use the spare bedroom/study or my bedroom (through a dressing room). I don’t see the big issue...

It’s a toilet that’s what it is for .

Anything goes in our en- suite I have even brushed my teeth whilst husband is doing a poo more frequently than I’d like to admit

Of course!

When ya got to shit, ya got to shit!

See there's this thing, it's brilliant and been around for years... AIR FRESHENER!

So.long as no floaters left behind, or no skidders, then what's the fuss... Your shit stinks as bad, don't be so bloody silly.
