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

NotMeNoNo

My en-suite has a sofa and bookcase.

But strictly no stools.

So the general consensus is that when it comes to en suites, some people give a shit and others don't.

I’d never previously considered pooing in the en suite to be de trop. But we do have a strict No Honking in the En Suite rule. In fairness it is borne of bitter experience. XP once caught an unfortunate prawn and we were staying in the world’s smallest hotel room. I’m a dreadful sympathetic puker and there really wasn’t room for two of us in there. You haven’t lived until you have stood in a shower, cleaning vomit out of a small bin while your beloved spews his guts in the khazi next to you.

I think it’s quite controlling to stipulate how the toilet should be used. Surely if you need to go then you need to go. It’s just a normal bodily function you know.

You don't have any right to observe or comment on that - it's strictly their own dirty business....

We once bought a house where there was no door on the en suite so its use was a bit limited at night! Whoever thought that an archway was a good substitute for a door must have been crazy.

As a pleb with only one toilet in the house that's next to my bedroom, I think I need to tell my family no more shits.

We poo in the en-suite - the only rule is that you don't do it with the door open therefore allowing the scent of shit to permeate through the bedroom.

Open the en-suite window and a couple of sprays of air freshener and it's fair game.

You need to dig a long drop at the end of the garden, clearly.

Our rule was always “no Number 2s in the en-suite loos”

That is the most middle class thing I’ve ever read. Holy fuck.

Shouldn’t the middle class buy houses with decent en-suites in them instead of tiny, non ventilated ones that you’re not allowed to poo in?
I didn’t buy a house due to the worlds smallest en-suite being about a foot away from the bed. Barely big enough to get my arse in and the sink was so tiny, no idea where my toothbrush would’ve gone. And it was really expensive too. Might’ve been a wardrobe it was shoehorned into.

My current en-suite would be acceptable to all mumsnetters.

it's a loo
loos are for shitting and pissing in

You must be fun in B&Q's bathroom section.

@altiara it's not small, it's big enough for a bath, it just doesn't have a window

When my DS was very young and just starting to get to grips with using the toilet, we were in our local DIY store and I turned my back for a moment, only to hear a proud little voice calling from the bathroom display section "I've finished!"

Mercifully, he'd only had a wee and the nearest member of staff was one of the pleasant female employees, who was lovely about it, rather than the grumpy old men who are usually around. That was a strange mixture of embarrassment and pride - that he'd found a toilet and used it exactly as we'd been teaching him

@WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll, That really made me laugh! Have you considered work as a stand up comedian, or writing a book?

Strike an England's Glory match (or two if really bad). Good for nappy changes too. (Safety matches do not have the same effect and for some reason Swan Vestas are not strong enough). Supermarkets don’t have them now but you can get them from Amazon. Really does get rid of a terrible pong. And keep them in your handbag in case you encounter a cubicle that is one giant cringe - and it’s the only one free !!.

We have a no poo rule in the downstairs loo as it's a cloakroom with no ventilation and the poo smell lingers. I prefer not to hear my partner poo so he uses family bathroom and I use en suite. He sounds like a hot air balloon starting up so prefer not to overhear it. Love him to pieces though. Equally he prefers his own peace and likes to stay.in there for around 45 mins. It works for us

To the naysayers, What do you do when you stay in a hotel?!

Mum came with me and the kids to Disneyland Paris years ago, stayed in a family room.

She left the room and went to the loo in reception, every time, 1 or 2!

(On reflection, maybe she was just looking for 5 minutes peace.)

Fucks sake, it doesn't come out wrapped in clingfilm... Even The Queen has a shit, it's a natural bodily function. Get some air freshener if you feel too delicate to cope, but I'd advise picking up a grip at the same time

Shocking! Are you seriously suggesting The Queen does number twos? At Windsor Castle? You are bringing the Royal Family into direpute. Shame on you

Pre children the Rule was no pooing in the en suite.

Post children, standards have slipped somewhat and sometimes it's just nice to lock the door.

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

Jesus wept. Its a bathroom/toilet/loo - of course its ok.

Where are you all getting sound proof doors from? We don't have an en-suite (I hate them for a number of reasons, mostly the number 2) but 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.
