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!!

Well we have one bathroom and it’s through our kitchen! We manage perfectly fine as we have a window and a fan. I would love an en suite!

Poo-ing in the ensuite...turtle power!

We tend not to when the other person is in the room.

Unless he's asleep

Only on MN do shits not smell and if they do it's indicative of some health issue or poor diet. Shit stinks. That's literally what it does.

So if you sit down for a wee in the early suite, and then realise you need a poo, do you hobble across the hall to the main bathroom? I honestly can’t believe people are so controlling over which toilet they let their OHs poo in!

@Hoppinggreen - an unexpected upgrade

Doggodogington in that instance it would be acceptable to do a nifty poo but a quick flush and air as not to allow offence smell to spread

En-suite is in the English dictionary as meaning an adjoining room that's part of the same set of rooms

Exactly. It does not mean bathroom. It’s one of my gripes. I have many.

Not in the morning if someone is lying in bed. Yes at other times during the day etc. DH has unilaterally decided to use the other loo in the morning, which I am very happy about.
As Jenny Eclair says about her husband pooing in the ensuite whilst she was in bed 'first I heard it, then I smelt it, then I tasted it!'

It's a toilet. Shit where you want. How bizarre!

Why are so many people grossed out by a natural bodily function.

How on earth are en suites gross?

Bleach and air freshener works!

Noooo the only thing worse than the smell of shit is the smell of shit mixed with artificial flowery air freshener

I do because the en-suite is 'my' toilet. I leave the window open at all times and it's not right next to the bed.

DH uses the small bathroom. DS uses the family bathroom.

it's where we are all most comfortable.

I wonder what people do when they are in a hotel room with their OH? Knock onto the neighbouring room and take a dump in there?

You see, I imagine some Mumsnetters must stay in hotels quite a lot, as that's where they get the idea for the daily clean towel and clean sheets planet-destroying levels of laundry they do.

I totally agree. I have exactly the same argument with my husband. He shits at 4am - light on, stinking the bedroom out and flushing the loo before and after. TOTAL REFUSAL to understand there is anything wrong with this.
I now sleep in another room.

While shit stinks, I've honestly never been in the company of people who's shit smells so bad after it has been flushed that you can't use the bathroom for five minutes afterwards, and you have to worry about the smell permeating into the next room.

I wonder if it is linked to people being a bit constipated, so the ahem evacuation takes a bit of time, and so the smell has the chance to fill the room? Or they do floaters and they sit on the toilet for ages reading or contemplating life?

People who use the en-suite for this often don’t bother to open the window

I eat very healthily, no meat, lots of veg and pulses, have a very good, er, digestive transit, and my shit really does stink, like a field after muck-spreading.

It does not mean bathroom. It’s one of my gripes. I have many.
Perhaps you should take your gripes to the several British dictionaries then.

This shouldn't really be a problem if the person involved is pooing considerately. Closing the door to the bedroom, cleaning the toilet properly afterwards if poo is stuck up the sides, closing the lid, opening the window to let the smell out and closing the door to the bedroom when finished.

It's a toilet, it's meant for peeing and pooing in. As long as he keeps the door closed and opens the window afterwards then it's fine.

@JeezyPeeps
My mum has ulcerative colitis and I can tell you the smell after her has made me vomit before. But it can’t be help and she always opens a window and lights a candle bless her.

Nope. We had this rule in our old place. We had the poo loo and then the en-suite. No poop smell in my bedroom.

Bleach and air freshener works!
All air “freshener” does is add the extra stench of some chemicals to the stench of shit.

This thread is funny though

En suite does not mean bathroom.

There's always one

Our ensuite is through the dressing area so I think that's fine, otherwise no!

It's a toilet.

What are all these people on MN eating that their shit stinks out whole buildings??
