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

Look people if your poi's are smelly enough to permeate through walls then you need to take a long hard look at your diet, turn the fan on, crack a wi Dow and invest in some VIPoo

Same here @shreddednips - I’d have to avoid the en-suite altogether because you never know when a surprise poo turns up

*poo's

Classic MN toilet lunacy.

It's a toilet. They are receptacles for bodily waste. That includes shites.

If we were about to have sex then I might be a bit peeved if went to have a smelly and noisy shit, but normally, no, that’s what it’s there for!

It's a bathroom, just close the door, open the window and use it for what it's there for. Why are some people so precious?

Never holiday in a caravan, you'll have a traumatic week.

Matches are your friend. Works better than any air freshener.

mumsnet is weird

If the smell is an issue can't you use VIPoo?

I know, right? This place has always been completely batshit when it comes to loos. They're made for solids and liquids, that's what they're there for. I've never heard such neurotic BS in all my life than on here.

Ha! Mid shower shag we realised that if we could hear everything going on outside.. then that meant, yes, everyone could probably hear us at it... oops . To be fair we needed reining in felt like the wall was about to go through! Oh the memories ha!!!

My en-suite is for me only, DH can use the other bathroom, it is his only and I have no reason to enter not even to clean.

Keep the door closed, clean loo afterwards, put down lid and don't leave door open when you leave. They usually have an extractor fan if no window.

It hardly matters if you're on your own and if you are staying somewhere, where else do you go.

My rule was no poos in the downstairs loo but I did if I was alone in the house all day which, now, is always.

Have you never stayed in a hotel with en suite facilities? If on holiday in such a situation would you enforce no poos for a fortnight or insist that you both held it in until you could use a public facility?

We have had an ensuite for over 20 years and it has honestly never occurred to me that it needed to be different to any other bathroom. It is actually my bathroom of choice for most things as that is where my stuff us. If I want to have a shit I am far more likely to go upstairs to the bathroom where I feel most comfortable and rivate to do it.

I so agree with you op. Don't shit where I sleep!

We’ve got 3 toilets and it’s which ever one is nearest at the time for a wee, but for a poo I’ll chose the one furthest away from everyone

You wouldn't shit in the corner of your living room - so why would you in your bedroom?

Hahaha this is one of those bizarre things you only find on mumsnet! How utterly illogical. As has been said, an ensuite is a separate room. And it has a toilet, with a plumbing and a flush!

By your logic, I can't shit in my downstairs toilet either, since that opens onto the hallway, and I wouldn't shit in the corner of my hallway!

@Polnm

My en-suite has a sofa and bookcase.

This!!

An en-suite should be a place of lavish and luxury not shits and giggles

@Cheeeeislifenow

I so agree with you op. Don't shit where I sleep!

So what do you do in hotel rooms?

If your poos smell so bad that the odour completely floods all surrounding rooms, you might want to see a dietician.

@Cheeeeislifenow

I so agree with you op. Don't shit where I sleep!

Fairly certain most people don’t poo the bed after the age of about three.

*My flat has an en-suite off the main bedroom, it also has a ‘family’ bathroom off the open plan living area.

If I’m not allowed to poo in the en-suite because its attached to the bedroom and I can’t poo in the ‘family’ bathroom because its attached to the living room, where do you suggest I poo?*

@SimonJT you need to just go in a bucket in the garden and get over yourself FFS

I live alone and have 3 loos.

My only rule is that the loo off the lounge isn't used for poos if there is anyone else in the lounge

Goodness knows how you lot would cope with living in a one bedroom flat. Plenty of people only have one loo, which is shock, horror right next to the bedroom anyway.

I'd still like to know how you lot cope with hotel rooms.

MN really is like another planet sometimes.
