To go for a wee-wee?

[TimeAtTheBar]

DH has just mocked me mercilessly for this. We are at home. I said I’m going for a wee-wee. He says I always say this even in company. I beg to differ as sometimes I say tinkle or Jack Dash or Jimmy Riddle or off for a piss.

I am an announcer though. I’ve caught myself lately sneezing and then saying ‘sneeze’ instead of ah choo or excuse me. Also yawn.

It’s not just me though, right? Normal to excuse yourself in this fashion. Yeah ok, wee-wee might be the nadir but it’s a perfectly normal thing to say?

I'd say going to the loo or going for a wee. Wee wee www something I said as a child.

*was something I Said as a child

I can't say I have ever announced when I am going to the toilet at home

Loo

Do you announce that you're going for a poo? I might say 'I just need a quick wee' or something but I don't announce constantly.

Why would you announce to your husband that you were going to the toilet? I can understand if you were out, you might say "I'm just going to head to the loo" or whatever, but I can't imagine informing my DH at home that I was going for a "wee-wee"!

I do say I’m off for a wee - but then I have toddlers and, if I don’t announce when I’m moving more than 1 inch from them, they whine and yell till they can see me again!!

I usually say 'I need a wee' as I'm exiting the room, it saves the chorus of 'where are you going' 'are you putting the kettle in 'can I have...'

i is usually reserve 'wee wee' for little ones & the dog!

but you're married, why is he mocking you now? It cannot be the first time you've said it?!?!

Wee yes
Wee wee no

You don't have to say what you are doing. "Excuse me for a moment" is more than enough information, even for family members. Don't plant the mental image in innocent bystanders' brains.

Well you could be like me one night I was out and said ' I'm just nipping to the bathroom' to be told enjoy your bath!

We announce in this house too! I actually think it would be weird at this stage if I got up and just walked out of the room without saying "going for a wee". More confusingly, for a number 2 we say "going to the toilet" which DH and I both know is different to going for a wee 😂

I don't go constantly.

I just think it's kind of weird to leave the room & not say what you're off to do so the one left can change the TV channel or change the lighting etc if you're going to be ages...or knows better if you're only going for a wee! 😂🤣

Yes! We all know what I’m doing if I’m ‘going to the loo’ 🤣

Only thing I announce is "dinners ready" 😂

This. Though telling dd I'm going to the toilet just results her going in ahead of me and sitting on the floor by the sink to wait 🤦‍♀️

Why do you tell people that you're going to the loo?

Just go and keep it to yourself, nobody is interested

You say 'off for a piss'? grabs pearls in shock

God what an odd thread.

I use 'wee wee' because it's what I say ten times a day to get my dogs in the garden for toilet.

YANBU.

I find it ghastly when anyone over the age of seven announces that they're going to go for a wee (and wee wee is truly dreadful). I really don't want to know if you're going to urinate, defecate, change a tampon, put on more make-up, do a handstand. Just saying that you're going to the loo is more than sufficient.

"I need a wee" if I'm halting programme, or a game or other shared activity. Nothing if in room and doing own thing. Wee wee is too childish for me.

Wee singular here - sorry OP

It all sounds incredibly tedious.

@BlameItOnTinder same. Go for a wee wee is our dog’s command for go outside to toilet.
