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!!

You not pooing where you sleep. Or in your bedroom. Your pooing in a toilet which just happens to be in the adjoining room to the bedroom.

Absolutely not, and also not in the downstairs loo.
Family bathroom only!

Strike a few matches.
That will get rid of the smell.

aibu to think that this thread and the recent one about eating on the train must be spoofs.

They share common factors - this one suggesting that a toilet should be out of bounds for poo. The other suggesting that a train (aka a place where food is sometimes sold, that has tables) is not a place for eating and that food sold in a station as takeaway is not primarily sold in a station with view to being consumed on a train.

or maybe some of us have standards, and don't want their bedroom or shower to smell of poo.

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

You can't object to toilets in kitchen and find them appropriate in a bathroom, at least be consistent.

Wee’s Only!! My husband leaves such a stink that he’s only officially allowed to 💩 in the downstairs loo and then he has to spray VIPoo afterwards because I want to be sick after he’s dropped one.

This is why I don't like en suites.

We avoid this problem by each having our own double bedroom with our own en suite loos plus other bathrooms in the house. So in the morning we use our own bathrooms and loos. If we are having sex it’ll be in my room, which is bigger. Dh wouldn’t use my en suite ever and I wouldn’t use his.

I would use it, put a bit of bleach in, scrub it and use febreeze freshener. You can buy a spray that you spray into the bowl just before you poo, it contains the smell.

No-one has a toilet in the kitchen and I doubt many people prepare food in the bathroom.

This thread just demonstrates how spoilt and priveleged that some people on here are, thinking that houses should have multiple toilets so no-one has to poo anywhere near their precious noses.

Our house has one toilet and we manage just fine. If someone needs to use it, that's what they do.

A significant minority of the world doesn't even have clean running water or indoor toilets and here we are flushing ours with clean drinking water and still being precious about the facilities being used for their intended purpose.

Hubby is veggie and teetotal. Never left an awful smell in the toilets at home that I have noticed!

No-one has a toilet in the kitchen
because it's absolutely disgusting, same as a bathroom
and not accurate anyway, just google it

and I doubt many people prepare food in the bathroom.
I brush my teeth and put face cream in my bathroom among other things. None of which I would do in a toilet.

A significant minority of the world doesn't even have clean running water or indoor toilets so what? they would be more shocked about our "ensuite" that we are about their outside facilities...

Do what you want in your own home, but you can't stop us from thinking it's grim.

The love of toilets in bathrooms in this country is as puzzling as the love for washing machines in kitchen. The latest are less grim but still weird.

Shitting shouldn’t be happening a few feet from where the sleeping and sexing happens. It’s just awful

So you’ve never stayed in a hotel, lived in a home that had a bathroom and bedroom with a shared wall or had sex in a bathroom?

@Juliette20

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.

That can't possibly be true!

On MN only men's shit smells. Women's shit has the scent of roses and spring mornings!

Just look at all the posts in this thread so far about 'DH is only allowed to poo in the next county where I say he can'.

These women are so far up themselves they don't realise that we're all programmed to not found our own smells as offensive as those of others.

These people's other halves will be inwardly cursing the god awful biological hazard their wives are creating each day but aren't so uppity as to make a big deal of it.

If men's shit stinks, so does ours. Fact.

This is why some of us loathe the very concept of an en suite.
Steamy shower room = bedroom is the other reason to dislike.

I have and I hate it. DH stinks. Hotel en suites are less likely to have a window, too
At least using the shared bathroom there are two doors you can shut between you and the shitting.

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?

I send him down to use the loos in the reception area. He’s allowed to wee in the hotel room bathroom though.

@SpokeTooSoon that's actually insane. You dictate where your husband is and isnt allowed to use the toilet? Imagine if the did the same to you? Everyone would be screaming abuse.

I'm actually not bothered about poos in the en suite. God help anyone who poos in the downstairs loo though!

I say no. But my DH does.

If men's shit stinks, so does ours. Fact.

if the cutest 1 year old poo can stink like hell, no reason why a grown-up woman would smell of roses

I wonder if some posters are making use of that G. Paltrow candle in their toilets

So you’ve never stayed in a hotel, lived in a home that had a bathroom and bedroom with a shared wall or had sex in a bathroom?
just because you can put up with shitty conditions (sorry) doesn't mean you should stick with them when you don't have to!

Some of us have slept in their cars on occasion, doesn't mean I want to move in mine

ahhh first world problems

depends if there's a window which opens or not. Not= criminal.

Matches help.

But ensuites are grim for this very reason.
