(Lighthearted) bathroom hogging

I never thought I would say this as I live in a house with 3 bathrooms and only have one child living at home.

The middle one is adult and at uni and does not have a bathroom with a bath at uni. She’s always been a bathroom hogger usually doom scrolling on her phone. Currently she is home for the weekend. Told her twice at 6.30 pm I was going for a bath, twice she acknowledged. Cue sitting on the top door step with my tea, book getting cross at 6.45 pm as she was on the toilet- she’s still in there. She does this every single time she is home. One bathroom has a toilet, shower and bath, one us ours toilet and shower and one has a toilet. I’m going to have to get another bath put in aren’t I?

She wallows in the bath for hours and I mean hours - usually 8-12 pm and I’ve had to ban her after 10 pm now as it is ridiculous. Her sibling can’t brush his teeth or anything as she bathroom hogs.

Anyone else got a bathroom hogger?

Maybe you guys should check her more closely what she's up to in the bathroom. She could be hogging Snapchat for real.

She’s an adult.
