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

@NewFactsEmerge

Pooing in the house is just disgusting. We're not animals! We have a special bunker with an airlock in a thicket of trees 500 yards from the house.

My dog's a lady.

She poos in the garden, always at a good distance from the house, and sometimes she even poos in the park.

If it's a planned poo then I think most of us use whatever feels most private at the time? If DH is downstairs then I might nip up to the en-suite or if he's in bed then I would use downstairs before going up. DSs mainly use the main bathroom so I generally steer clear. DH does same as me. But sometimes you go for a pee and then your body decides it's convenient so I'm not going to hold it in and go elsewhere.

Our en-suite is through our wardrobe dressing room so there are two doors between it and the bedroom just the same as the two doors between bedroom and bathroom.

My gran bless her waay back in the 1900's used to drop one in her chamber pot and leave it to stew overnight and never it seemed thought anythung of it!..

You lot are poo cissies!

There are two doors between my toilet and my bed, one to the en-suite and one to the water closet Inside. Plus a vent fan. Unless someone is sick, the smell isn’t going to travel through all that.

The only time My husband using that particular facility is A problem is if I am taking a bath.

Just use that V.I.Poo stuff. Haven't tried it myself but it looked good in the advert

My DB's lab is too much of a gent to poo in his own garden or ours when staying with us. He keeps it for walks.

The problems that come with moving up in the world hey? We have one loo, so no agonising over where people poo.

Loos are for poos.

Bit of one-upmanship there SerenDippitty

I don't have or want an en-suite. For this reason. I don't want any partner or lover (I'm single) shitting so close to me or feeling like it is okay to.
I stayed in a grotty (but perfectly adequate for our needs) b&b recently with a shower and loo next to the sleeping quarters. No way would I poo in there with my date in the bedroom! I made sure I wouldn't need to by being careful about what times I ate. I used the loo downstairs and while we were out, took baby wipes and showered before we went to bed. I'd always do this. If that makes me precious so be it. I am more relaxed with long term partners but I'd still run water or turn shower on and go before I got in so they couldn't hear anything. Luckily my digestive system is pretty good and I don't tend to need a lot of time or have lingering pongs.

I also want some more ' reviews' of this thing about striking a match!

Our en suite is barely big enough to turn round in, doesn't have a window (just a shite extractor fan)

Oooh, a shite extractor fan. Fancy, and must save loads of water.

Never heard such rubbish. Wherever a bathroom is situated, with a toilet in it, it should be used for any toilet business. Not sure where these weird ideas come from,and what kind of people make these rules.

I live with my (just about adult) ds.

I expect him to stink out the upstairs loo when I am downstairs, and the downstairs loo if I've gone to bed. I accept I may be unreasonable

I only poo when he's out, obviously.

What about when you stay in a hotel for a dirty weekend. Do you use the public toilet.

if someone told me i couldn't shit in my toilet..

Those using hotels as a gotcha, have to say in hotels I use the toilet in the reception area if I can. DP always says as we leave the hotel for the day 'I'll meet you down there' meaning give me a minute, I want to crap in peace.

I don't advocate holding in poo! But if given any choice at all I won't do it within hearing or smell range of others, and I appreciate DP being similarly considerate.

@Choccylips I replied to your question before you asked. You're welcome

Why on earth not?

I wouldn't dream of policing who does what in which toilet in my house. I think that's really weird and controlling.

We had an ensuite because it came with the place (rented) although i am not a fan of them but if i can't use a bathroom for its intended purpose why have it?

If we have to go we have to go

My ensuite is my poo sanctuary. It's my bog, and my bog alone. If someone told me I couldn't go there I'd be in real trouble. I also just go there sometime pretending I'm 'busier' than I am to get 5 minutes peace.

We do have a 'no family poo' rule in the toilet next to the living area as I try to keep it as the 'guest toilet'. My children, unlike the genteel dogs of PP, are disgusting animals that leave proof of this fact in the toilet bowl after they've had their ablutions, so I don't want to subject my friends to that. They have the family bathroom all to themselves to destroy.

you wouldn't shit in the corner of your living room - so why do it in your bedroom Ha, this reminds me of an episode of the Royal Family where Jim was giving off at Denise for breastfeeding in front of him (yes I know, I don't agree with it either but it was darn funny) Denise: Dad stop. It it's a natural function. Jim: So is having a crap but you wouldnt do that in the lounge

Do you also have weird rules where to wash your hands (upstairs /downstairs)? Could be my late mil.
FFS as long as it goes down the toilet you are good.

I found this very interesting, I think British people are some of the most private when it comes to the loo. rightfully so. I do know some couples that share the bathroom without any inhibitions my DP said his ex had none so couldn't understand why I closed the door, I told him that if the day ever comes when I am not able he will be given the backside wiping job until then its a private matter,unless he wished to partake with another willing subject.

100% agree. Absolutely no shitting in my en suite unless you've got Norovirus and are confined to barracks.
DD (5) has picked up the same habits and will only poo in one of the main bathrooms

Can't say the same of my dad when he comes to visit but that's up to him I suppose.
