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?

Utterly revolting

Cam2020 · 28/10/2020 17:58

Bloody hell, even my 3 year old wants to get out of the bath when she needs a wee!

MynephewR · 28/10/2020 17:59

Yuck, no way. I do in the shower but only before I've washed my body obviously.

Iwouldbecomplex · 28/10/2020 17:59

I've done it once when I had very bad cystitis and read online that peeing in warm water can help. But I didn't sit around in it after and I rinsed off properly! I often pee in the shower though.

That’s disgusting! I’ve done a wee in the shower a couple of times when I’ve been desperate but the bath is just gross

Runmybathforme · 28/10/2020 18:01

I can’t believe anyone thinks this is ok, utterly disgusting. Just gross.

LynetteScavo · 28/10/2020 18:01

It's yuk.

Why would you?

Sheeplife · 28/10/2020 18:02

It's gross but I do it anyway!

dadshere · 28/10/2020 18:03

who even needs to ask this?

LynetteScavo · 28/10/2020 18:03

Does the wee in the bath person also drink the bath water?

My babies used to do both. So gross. By the time they were toilet trained they got out of the bath for a wee.

grumpygiraffe · 28/10/2020 18:04

Very unreasonable if it isn’t you who’s in the bath.

Akrotiri1 · 28/10/2020 18:04

Depends on who you are sharing the bath with!!!!

Tbh no it doesn't bother me as urine is sterile and predominately water anyhow.

Mylittlepony374 · 28/10/2020 18:05

Wow. Eyes open that some people thinking having a wee in bath is ok!!? I would've thought this was 100% no way. That's grim.

BoingBoingyBoing · 28/10/2020 18:08

Bad enough in the shower, but the bath??? Fucking hell.

unmarkedbythat · 28/10/2020 18:09

I can't remember where I read this, in some novel somewhere- someone says a gentleman is someone who uses a butter knife even when dining alone and someone else says that actually, a gentleman is someone who gets out of the bath to piss.

Thehop · 28/10/2020 18:09

I’m going to have to be gross here and admit i think it’s fine!

MagicSummer · 28/10/2020 18:10

It is quite disgusting! Surely everybody goes to the loo before having a bath or shower?

Dollywilde · 28/10/2020 18:12

@FarTooSkinny

Shower fine, bath not

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

Grin well assuming you’re being serious, wee is sterile, poo isn’t. And it’s solid. But I’m guessing that was a riff so I shouldn’t engage...!

Sure. But sometimes you need to go again. The hot water often makes me want to and I'm not getting out of my nice bath to go dripping to the loo just to get back in if I wasnt finished. Sod that!
rhubarbgin7 · 28/10/2020 18:14

That's absolutely foul. I'm amazed you have to even ask this.

ZombieAttack · 28/10/2020 18:15

It’s disgusting, why would I want to sit in my own urine. I don’t see in the shower either.

ZombieAttack · 28/10/2020 18:16

Or wee in the shower! I definitely can’t see in the shower.

purplecorkheart · 28/10/2020 18:20

It is vile.

bigdecisionstomake · 28/10/2020 18:25

I thought urine was sterile and around 95% water, hence why it was ok to drink if you're into that sort of thing?

I very rarely have a bath but was advised after both births (bad tears) to wee in the bath to stop the stinging.

I went through a stage of recurrent UTIs a few years ago too and the consultant advised me to have a bath if the pain was bad and wee whilst in there to help with the discomfort.

To be fair I've never done it apart from those specific circumstances but am amazed so many think it is so awful.

Just pretend that you've been stung by a jellyfish - then it's medical
