Can you go into the bathroom without being bothered?

Oh my goodness, do I ever! Our house is in the midst of a 4-1/2 year remodeling project (it was supposed to be done in 3 months) and to make a really long story short ... Our master bathroom is the only bathroom that we use right now and it does't have a lock on the door. It also doesn't have trim around the door which allows toddlers to peak in and ask what I'm doing when I'm on the potty. I also get asked quite frequently, "You pooping, Mama?" From time to time I'll have a baby sneak in and pull himself up on the toilet and even put his frosty little hand on my bare hip ... that's enough to make you shoot off the toilet!

OMG. My kids seem to know when I am in there, from miles away. I turn on the water to take a shower, and my 3 yr old runs up the stairs from watching a movie.. he says "OH! Mommy taking a shower!" Then my daughter (who is 4 1/2) always knocks on the door and says she has to go potty. She also seems to have to go every time I say that I have to go. What the heck?!

I don't now, as I am older. But when I was young, I was in the same delema as you. Did you notice when you get on the phone, the same thing happens. I guess the family just wants the security of your presents.

oh my...LOL for the LONGEST time my goin to the bathroom was a task and a half....these days though everyone knows that when I'm in there LEAVE ME ALONE LOL it took some doing to get them to grasp it mind you but they arent too bad now LOL

Privacy in the bathroom? Please we have too many cats for that. They seem to take turns for wanting love when ever someone sits on the toilet. They will push the door open on you and then come in and bug you till you pet them. I gave up on being alone in there.

As soon as walk into the bathroom not 2 seconds later here comes the troop! And my daughter always wants to have these serious conversations as Im sitting on the toilet or in the middle of a shower! My cat thinks it is her personal time with me and my 2 year old wants to HELP me go to the bathroom lol I always say can I please pee in pease and they laugh at me! and say yeah right mom!

All.....the.....time. LOL Our litter box is in the bothroom and If I dont latch the door one or both of the cats will be pocking a paw in to get my attention. My 2 yr old will just open and walk in and leave the door wide open. After school my other 2 HAVE to show me there school work while I am on the potty, they cant wait till I am done. I guess that is the point. No matter rwhat mommy does not even get a minute to go pee.

My grandson has to visit me everytime I go to the bathroom. He knows where I am, but will trot down the hall and open the door and start talking. Then he will turn his back and say, sorry Oma, but I just wanted to say hi. If it is not my grandson checking in on me, it is the cat. Itty will pounce on the door and come sit at my feet. I thought that once the kids moved out that I would have more privacy in the potty. Guess I was mistaken!

That happens to me all the time too. Our cat likes to use the bathroom when someone else is there and my daughter won't let me do anything unless I take her with me. So I just leave the bathroom door open when I'm in there, so that anyone that wants to come in, can.

I have the same problem. With 2 daughters, a boyfriend and lots of friends of my daughters, there is always someone wanting the bathroom. I was home alone on the weekend and the dog didn't want to be left alone apparently and scratched to get in. My mother always warned me about it!

ha ha, I don't really have a problem with it yet, it does come up though. We only have one bathroom in the house, so there have been instances where I will be in there, and our boy comes and knocks on the door. "Dad I have to go to the bathroom." "Can it wait?" "I have to go poop." "Okay hang on." Ah kids... I wish the boy would learn that he can go before he reaches the breaking point. But he waits until the last minute before he goes.

When I had my cats I had to leave the door open or there would be a little scrit, scratching at the door and the most pathetic sounding little miaow .. Sadly I no longer have the cats to think about ,, so I am completely on my own .. but I am so used to having to leave the door open a little that I still do it .. how daft is that .. but it just doesn't feel right to have the door fully closed hahaha!!

Yes!!!! It seems like everytime i go to the bathroom i get bothered! Most of the time it always seems to be my 5 tear old niece saying that she needs to pee as soon as i sit down...LOL! If it isn't her than it is my 2 year od banging on the door! I feel you!!

Ya sure, no1 bothers me once i am there.. hehe

ha-ha lol happens in my home too. I go to the bathroom I have a seven year old, a 3 year old and a dog follow me and wander in. Sometimes my partner will even do it and occasionally the cat. I rarely get to pee in peace lol. I push them out and shut the door - sometimes it works but they don't go away. Occasionally I have a bit of a paddy at them if they do it when I'm in the shower and then the parade waits in my bedroom for me. You have to remember they do it because you are the leader of their pack and they love you even tho' it's really annoying.

No not really. I don't have any kids yet. Once and a great while my husband will walk in to get something but not too often

People GET to go to the bathroom alone??? Where?? I have that problem too. Every single time I go in there, for anything, my kids have to go potty, or they want to brush their teeth, or they want to know what I am doing, or they just stand in the doorway. Forget locking the door lol. They just keep knocking, very softly, until I answer them. I think we gave up bathroom privacy when we had kids :)

its seems from your discussion taht you are the most importantb person in your house maybe that is why you feel that.in my case no one disturbs me while at the bathroom.

We have three bathrooms, and still everyone has to try to use the one that I happen to be in! To add to that, the dog has to wait outsied the as if I'm never coming back, and if i'm in the masterbath the friggin cats are whining and moaning outside like I'm doing something wrong in there.

Never a problem in our house. Nobody bothers to close the door most of the time let alone lock it!
