Pooing in the en suite!!

393 replies

MisfitNinja · 03/02/2020 08:08

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 swear this thread is peak Mumsnet.

Absolutely agree .

FFS so many here are literally so anal about shitting

ConfusedButAngry · 03/02/2020 12:02

It depends where the rest of the house members are at the time.

In the daytime en-suite is the perfect place! Even more so if there are visitors.

If it's night time then no.

I swear this thread is peak Mumsnet.

indeed, so many people happy to have grim lives, it's disgusting Grin

but having visited so many properties over the years, a lot of homes are grim!

It’s a toilet so you should be able to use it for whatever you need to

Wannabegreenfingers · 03/02/2020 12:12

Yes, its a normally bodily function. Close the door put the extractor on.

Muminabun · 03/02/2020 12:17

New build en-suites are like a bucket in a wardrobe so not ok for pooing in. Imho

kateandme · 03/02/2020 12:18

urely this is just a mindset.many bathrooms are next door to bedrooms so why is different as the en-suite is basically this.its next door to the bedrooms.same set of walls in between and a door.

"I've never once needed to share a bathroom with someone doing a poo!"
I will admit, myself and the wife often end up with her in the shower, me on the loo. She either asks me to sing, or comments! We only have one loo, and I'm afraid if she is in the shower and I need to go, I go! Mind you, never imagined I would end up like this. But what is she supposed to do, run out of the shower whilst I go, or I'm supposed to stand outside desperately clenching?

Thankfully, the cat hasn't learnt to use the loo, so we don't have a third issue to cope with. Although of course we have the brushing her tail against the back of your thigh whilst you're sat on the loo thing..........

Just light a candle in there and bob's your uncle.

emmathedilemma · 03/02/2020 12:21

Out of interest, what do you make him do if you stay in a hotel??

ChequerBoard · 03/02/2020 12:27

It's a toilet - why bother installing it i you're going uk set daft rules about its use!!

Get over yourself, everyone poos, even you.

midnightmisssuki · 03/02/2020 12:33

Mumsnet is on a different planet sometimes. I really believe that. Not shitting in the toilet?! Yes ok then. Go do your business under a tree.

JosefKeller · 03/02/2020 12:33

Get over yourself, everyone poos, even you.
next to where they sleep? no, just you I am afraid.
Even my dogs don't poop anywhere near their sleeping quarters Grin

JosefKeller · 03/02/2020 12:35

It's a toilet - why bother installing it i you're going uk set daft rules about its use!!
maybe it was there already
maybe it's fine for pee
maybe it's useful for guests, and for emergencies

when there's a perfectly usable toilet somewhere else in the house? gross. Just why would you go in your own bedroom? MN is hilarious sometimes

KitKat1985 · 03/02/2020 12:36

It's a toilet. It's there for shitting on. I mean for Gods sake if it's a bit whiffy afterwards you can just shut the door surely?!

DevilsAdv0caat · 03/02/2020 12:38

But what is she supposed to do, run out of the shower whilst I go, or I'm supposed to stand outside desperately clenching?
Surely a NT adult with no bowel problems can learn to hold in their bodily functions for 5/10 minutes? I presume you don’t shit yourself in public if you need to poo and there is no bathroom?

Oakenbeach · 03/02/2020 12:39

Pooing is a disgusting, dirty habit. I can’t believe people still do it... The medieval age finished centuries ago! You’re clearly not eating healthily enough. If you were they’d be no bad stuff to pop out! And if you feel the urge, clench and the body will soon reabsorb it.

DevilsAdv0caat · 03/02/2020 12:41

next to where they sleep?
You’re not shitting on your bedside table ffs. How is it different to a bedroom adjacent bathroom? Doors exist for a reason, I’m sure you know how they work.

riotlady · 03/02/2020 12:42

It’s a toilet, that’s what it’s for!

Feelingpoorlysick · 03/02/2020 12:44

A toilet is a toilet. It really doesn't bother me.

MapMyMum · 03/02/2020 12:46

We fully use the en suite, unless one of us is in bed and the one making use of the loo has a particularly sore tummy so its going to smell

Whatsmyname26 · 03/02/2020 12:46

This thread is hilarious! Mumsnet is a weird place

Chesneyhawkes1 · 03/02/2020 12:47

We have the bedroom with the en-suite as a dressing room. So yes that's my preferred toilet to use.

DH uses the main bathroom toilet and no ole uses the downstairs toilet for that kinda thing 💩
