To think that ensuites shouldnt be for number 2's?

[landann]

Were buying a place snd the master has an en suite, i just think that it shouldnt be used for poo's well at bedtime anyway, as otherwise massive mood killer... AIBU? Thoughts?

There is a family bathroom and downstairs WC btw. So plenty of options lol

No plops before bed in the en-suite in our house. Simply because it smells like someone has taken a shit in the corner of the bedroom. Any other time of day I’m fine with it. We have four loos in our house so there’s no shortage of other places to go.

You can’t ban shitting in a toilet. It’s ridiculous. I once had to shit in a takeaway container as my boyfriend spends so long in our only bathroom. If we’d had an en suite going it would have been preferable.

You sound very precious.

This thread is fucking hilarious!

@Queenoftheashes You triggered a laughing fit for me. Jesus having to shit in a takeaway container! I absolutely hear you though. I'm not proud of this but I once had to shit in the shower because my ex was having one of his two hour craps

@GoldfishParade was the shower in the same room as he was having his shit?
Why men take so long I’ll never understand. I assume they play Tetris.

My OH is banned from curling one out in the en suite purely because it rules out a decent Cleveland Steamer later on

Is it bad that I didn't even need to Google that?

She drives to Sandringham for a shit and make Philip go to Balmoral.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can imagine that hearing DP go for a shit 4 feet away from the bed wouldn't exactly get me raring to shag him.

Trying not to wake my DH up laughing at this 😅 🤣 😂

We've still got an outside kharzi, next to the air raid shelter ( where else would it be ! ). Bizarrely my DH , being an eccentric nutter, will make the pilgrimage , irrespective of time of day or weather, and with newspaper firmly under arm brave the spiders to take a dump in the ways of his fore fathers. We do have a bathroom upstairs and down but the en suite has no " Armitage Shanks ", just sink and shower. He has to wear a Trilby when he does this, I have no idea why. He also maintains the outside bog is a decommissioned Tardis. He is harmless and the kids adore him - they had an amazing childhood.

Not read the full thread but NEVER in the down stairs loo!

If your en-suite consists of a chamber pot encased in a wooden commode cabinet, then I would agree with you.

Modern plumbing is excellent for number twos. It’s so inconvenient (and inconsiderate) when the neighbours throw their slops out of the window onto the street below.

My dh uses my en-suite to do a number 2 in the day so he can contain his stink hahaha but night time he has to use my down stairs bathroom so he doesn't disturb anyone !

Are bathrooms in your house not jointly-owned? I’d hate that- having to use someone else’s toilet in my own house.

Who owns the kitchen? Or the living room?

Thank you very much for your extremely kind words I do have the same dreams as probably 50% of people or being a writer some day, but I'm far too introverted to ever consider trying to run the gauntlet of stand-up

New house has an en-suite. I hate it. It has no ventilation and no window, no access to an outside wall at all. Revolting, dark, airless little room. I want it ripped out - it was once a dressing room. Partner would rather put in some sort of ventilation. So what - it will still be a dark little room.

And yes, the smell takes ages to vent out even with the bedroom windows open. I call it the shit-cupboard and would much rather people use the proper bathroom with the window.

Your description is so evocative. It reminds me of something Rowley Birkin QC would say in one of his rare lucid occasions when he isn't actually 'very, very drunk

Get yourself one of those fancy Japanese toilets that play music and even automatically make it louder in case if there are any obvious biological sounds.
I had a wealthy friend who had one of those, that Ride of Valkyries could probably be heard on the next street.

I once had to shit in a takeaway container as my boyfriend spends so long in our only bathroom.

You should have gone and taken up temporary residence in the bath, started grunting and warned him that HE would have to clean it all up if he didn't vacate the more appropriate facility sharpish.

Seriously, there's nothing wrong with taking a book/magazine/iPad ni with you for a nice relaxing slow evacuation session, but it's extremely selfish, once somebody else in the hosue needs to use the loo, not to get on with completing the job in hand* or at least nip it off to finish it later.

*especially if the alternative is your partner having to do the job in their hand (hopefully not just before clapping) - or otherwise in last night's vindaloo carton (which is probably to blame for all of this in the first place....)

Did the change from dressing room to en-suite with no window or artificial ventilation get building control approval? Would be surprised.

@VodselForDinner
Sorry I will reword it to "our" en suit an bathrooms. I just used mine as it's me who cleans and makes them look pretty I'd call them mine !! I love my bathrooms
I have 4! One downstairs. 2 en-suite and then a family bathroom. So downstairs is for guests or kids usually and wees. Family is for all the kids an then the older boys have an en suit in their room then we have one in our room! So yea we kind of have the toilet poo suiration on a schedule. I have ocd !! Xx

You all sound a bit precious to me. The only rule we have is that you always flush in the en suite, whereas in the other toilets we let things pile up a bit to do our bit for the environment and not waste water

I don’t get the pooing in an en suite putting you of sex bit either. I mean when you 69 or similar you end up smelling a pooey smell anyway

No pops in en suite or motorhome, this must be adhered to!!
