do you always have a child in the toilet with u?

[dune74]

Just curious to know if iam the only one who has not been alone in the toilet for the last 10yrs just sick of it now!!!

Not any more, but there's usually a dog

10 years - I'm banking on it stopping after 5 years - sob - please no I just want 30 seconds to myself

Tell me you have at least 4 kids.
Im getting constipated under pressure!

I rarely ever get to go to the toilet by myself.
Even if I make it to the bathroom and get the door locked ds1 will stand outside shouting to come inand talk to me, or dd decides that while I am sitting on the toilet I can also be in another room in the house doing something for her.

My favourite has to be standing in the living room talking to dd, when she had finished I said I was just poping to the toilet, she got up and followed me and DS1 ran to beat me there so they could chat to me while I was there.

I have to say very firmly with a serious face
" Look close the door I am having a smelly number 2"
ds will leave but... I can bet on it as I resurfice he will say '' you couldnt have your poo mummy could you? I didn't hear any ploof"

I constantly have a 3 yr old racing me to the bathroom whenever i need to go :)

So its not just me then!
Yes i do have 4, quite frequently the younger 2 having a conversation/arguing and want me to hear it!

Hate to be asked have you done a poo yet

This is the type of stuff mothers should be told so they know what to expect.

Heaven knows I try not to Dune, but I've discovered it can only be achieved if I am where my DC's are not.

Thankfully I am used to it now.

i am just now reclaiming it, it is glorious locking the door

dd is 3 1/2, ds 18 months

she is eminently sensible and will tell me if he is doing anything dangerous

loo is on the ground floor though, i might feel differently if i was on a different floor

also i would bring ds in if it were just me + him

I can guarantee that if I run myself a nice hot bath at the weekend within 2 minutes of getting in one of my DD's will come into the bathroom to do a poo

actually I was reflecting the other day that I am pretty much now able to go to the loo alone.

not take a shower, but we'll build up to that.

mine are 7, 4 and 2 so it feels like it's been a long time!

yes, and if not a child it's one of the cats!

yes here too. Usually both my DS1 2.10m and DS2 1.1yr join me. I am hoping for a solo event by my youngest reaching 2yrs

Sometimes dog here too. Tbh it's one of the perks of going to work. Alone time in the loo!

Yes, and it makes me want to weep. Dh & I had a huge row when it turned out that he had been upstairs listening to & giggling at me in the downstairs loo plaintively crying 'please leave mummy alone darling, she's trying to do a poo!' Now he bloody well knows to remove them from the environs if I'm availing myself of the facilities !

I have not been alone in the loo since jan 2006. I always have 1 of 3 if not all 3 in with me and the dog. Great company!!! (Not) we have no lock on our loo door, as dd2 is a messer and would lock herself in daily if we had..

Yes I usually have a 3 year old with a running commentary about what I am doing . Oh and his best trick is to turn the light off whilst I'm mid flow arrgghh!!

Nope.

I would not stand for it and tbh I do not get why anyone allows it.

Children have never been allowed to trail into the toilet after me. They can bloody have some manners and wait like a normal person, if its really urgent they can shout through the door.

I have never allowed it either. Although I can guarantee that the second my cheeks touch the seat, one of them will call me.

I now have a saying... 'Unless your brother is on fire, it can wait until i'm done' and then i refuse to answer any more.

Harsh? Maybe but i think 30-60 secs isn't much too ask!

At home sometimes, when out NEVER, so all the poo/wee/bum related questions get broadcast to a public audience!!

I am amazed at this woman at DDs swimming (children 3yrs) - she can leave her DS on the bench to sit nicely, while she goes into a cubicle and locks the door to get dressed!

I have to get dressed while simultaneously pinning DD to the bench to make sure she doesn't run away/do damage etc. I couldn't even leave her outside the door while I went for a wee in a public place, never mind a full change of clothing!

My 2 year old brings me books to read to her the moment I sit down ...

mine offers to wipe my bottom

I enjoy rapid fire questions whilst abluting

"Where are you Mummy? What's that smell? Are you doing a poo? Where does it come from? Can I see it? Can I flush for you Mummy?" repeated in a non stop cycle.

Unfortunately I don't seem to be a good enough role model for him to choose to use the toilet instead of nappies.

So true. I become a magnet for DD as soon as I go to the toilet - neither of ours have locking doors either, so I can't keep her out. I think she knows I can't get away...
