Thanks Natasha. I don’t think we’d be able to live in a 45 bathroom mansion and have a bit of peace for our matters to attend to. Guess we’ll just enjoy the time when they want to be with us because all too soon they’ll be embarrassed to be seen with us, after calling us stupid and wanting to borrow the car.

Okay, I happened upon this post and had to comment because it’s SO TRUE. You are not alone sister. I have said on more than one occasion: how is it that we have a house with more than two thousand square feet of space but everyone ends up within 6 inches of me, especially when I have some personal matters (ahem) to attend to?! A friends with three kids said, “Well, someone is constantly peeing, pooing or being cleaned after doing one or the other so I guess it just become the natural state of things that someone’s ass is hanging out somewhere in this camp.” Thanks for sharing and once again proving we’re all more alike than we are different.

Ha, ha! Men, why should they get the privacy? Sigh.

Oh, I can so relate to this! Kids and cats are always joining me any time I’m in my (tiny) bathroom, but the husband will throw everyone out, then shut and lock the door. He would probably install some sort of deadbolt on there if he could. He’s appalled at the lack of privacy around the house, but everyone just ignores his thoughts on the matter.

Totally Kimberly! You can’t even have the urge to pee without a full on invasion starting.

Boy am I glad it is not just me. I can’t even walk into the bathroom to blow my nose or to wash my face without my two dogs and son following me in there. It’s crazy! They could be totally preoccupied with something else and wham there they are. It’s like they have bathroom antennas connected to their head.

Loved this post.

I can relate! We have an open door policy in our house with the bathrooms, which tends to backfire a bit when we go out in public or have guests over. Although I wish this applied to my husband and I. Closing doors and turning on fans rarely occurs around here.

I totally agree Rebekah! Hubby will allow the kids in. It bothered him in the beginning, but he’s down with it now. Men are such weird creatures. welcome btw. Looking forward to checking out your site.

I came over from AlabasterCow to check you out and this is the first post I get?! HA! You are singing my SONG woman!

This is so funny and SO true! My husband has caught my babies and seen everything there is to see but when it comes time for the “bathroom break” he won’t come within 10ft of the door and the same unspoken rule applies to me. Who cares of the cats and all three kids are crammed in there with me? That’s seven bodies!!!!

I’m curious, though, does the “kids must accompany mom to the bathroom at all times” rule apply to hubby, too? Dh doesn’t care if the animals are in there with him but the girls are absolutely not allowed and he doesn’t really like having our son in there, either. I feel kind of jipped, you know? I mean, really, we should share all aspects of parenting! The pointing and questions should be wholly experienced by BOTH parents, don’t you think?
