my dog used to join me in the toilet and would sit outside barking if I got in and shut the door quickly or without him knowing. my son wants us to wee together, if I get in first he will run in after after get his willy out and try to intersect my wee
he will not get into the bath with me though, I take up too much room and he does like his toys in the bath, and he has sooo many toys and old bottles to squeeze water out of and so many toys (I wonder where so many came from really )

but now the sad part.......

he has gone back to his mum now for a few days and I am alone without a worry about someone trying to join me in the bath or the toilet strange that you miss something that you dislike so much!!

Ah yes, DD wanders in and asks me if I need help when I'm going to the toilet. She is 2.3.

jbj-every mummy should get the box set you mention re the large family-same happened at our house dd asking "why are you laughing?"
me:" because sometimes it's nice to have 5 min piece!"

You lot are insane to even think about getting in the bath I've given up and resorted to a shower. If you haven't got a shower, then a nice strip-down wash will do

Oh gos YA so NBU. Before we moved we had the tiniest bathroom literally it was smaller than a cupboard, so small the toliet actually touched the bath. You could guarantee everytime I was in the bath either DH or DD1 would need a bloody poo. only ever when I was in the bath never DH.

We moved a few months ago and now have 3 bathrooms [smug emoction] I loooove the privacy.

I asked DS (2.5) if he had finished his breakfast and wanted to get down the other day. He said

'No, I'm just having five minutes peace...'

Think we might read that book a bit too often

I would *love8 to have a bath with someone... preferably
him

LilRedWG · 07/09/2008 22:34

The bath was going great. Not a peep from DD and I was really enjoying my book and then the phone rang - it was DH calling to say goodnight. I got back in the bath with the phone.

cheeset · 08/09/2008 07:14

maidamess- oooh yes

SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore · 08/09/2008 07:18

lol @ trinity rhino. it is almost guaranteed that five minutes after i get in the bath a naked dd1 will turn up and then dh will bring dd2 upstairs and ask why she cant get in if dd1 is in.

You are so NOT being unreasonable. Sounds like my life when I have a soak in the bath.
