One family member says yes, one says no it’s fine.

Help a sister out here.

YABU - yes it’s grim
YANBU - no what’s a bit more water?

Yes, it is completely gross.

MissBaskinIfYoureNasty · 28/10/2020 17:33

Well...sitting in your own pee is pretty rank.

LouiseTrees · 28/10/2020 17:33

It’s totally grim but I bet people have got confused with the voting options if they think it’s okay. They are saying YANBU to think it’s grim. At least I hope so!

Disgusting

MashedSweetSpud · 28/10/2020 17:33

While you’re having a bath or if it’s an emergency and the loo is occupied?

xyzandabc · 28/10/2020 17:34

While you're in it having a bath?

So you're soaking in your own pee?

Very gross, and it takes a lot to gross me out, I am the very opposite of a clean freak.

MashedSweetSpud · 28/10/2020 17:34

Urgh just realised what you mean, it’s disgusting.

Pascha · 28/10/2020 17:35

I can't believe there are some voters that think it's OK 🤮

Shower fine, bath not, as you can just get out.

DH and I debated whether DD needed a new bath when she weed in it yesterday. My view was it was sterile and only a tiny bit so not worth fishing her out and rerunning the bath. He won and said we should change it. I can’t get super het up about it but no, I wouldn’t wee in the bath as an adult on account of being in a room with an actual toilet I could use Hmm

SparklyOwl · 28/10/2020 17:36

If you’ve just given birth and have a tear or episiotomy then I think it’s acceptable. Not otherwise.

Dollywilde · 28/10/2020 17:37

@SparklyOwl good point. That said I always did it and got straight out and reran the bath.

Thedogscollar · 28/10/2020 17:38

Its grim. Why would you sit in your own urine🙄

FarTooSkinny · 28/10/2020 17:39

Shower fine, bath not

Pooing in the shower also ok as long as you use DH's toothbrush to poke it down

Who are these 18% that don't think this is utterly vile? Confused

Heyahun · 28/10/2020 17:44

meh don't really care much about it - probably wouldn't get out if i had to pee

Can always stand under the shower after the bath for a minute anyway!

gottastopeatingchocolate · 28/10/2020 17:47

Would you swim in the toilet?

FarTooSkinny · 28/10/2020 17:49

My cat drinks form the toilet. In preference to his water bowl. He also like muddy puddles and the pond

I'm one! Massively diluted by the rest of the water. Doesn't bother me in the least. Assumed everyone did it 😄
ArsumLardis · 28/10/2020 17:53

oh ffs, it's no grosser out of your body than it was inside, and by definition it's highly diluted. I wonder who worries about fish wee in the sea...

Pancakeorcrepe · 28/10/2020 17:54

Omg I can’t believe people are pissing in the bath while taking a bath, that is just vile

firstimemamma · 28/10/2020 17:54

If I need to, I wee at the end of a bath (so into the water as it's draining away). The amount of wee in the water is probably well under 1% so hardly "soaking in my own urine".

bitheby · 28/10/2020 17:55

On GPs behind closed doors on Channel 5 yesterday, a GP recommended a boy wee in the bath after being kicked.

But no, I really wanted to in my last bath but I didn't. It would be gross.

BabyLlamaZen · 28/10/2020 17:55

Yes it's rank. Also not great for the bath as urine is corrosive.
