This one's for all your parents out there

:blink:

Does anyone else have this problem?

Why is it that everytime I sit my botty on the toilet, one or all of my lovely (!) children comes looking for me or else a big rumpus ensues elsewhere in the house???

Eh??

It is most disturbing for me no to be able to complete my business uninterrupted and in peace!!

:blush:

You know, Mazza, when mine were younger I'll swear they had a shift system worked out to keep me busy.

As soon as I'd sort out one of them another would present a problem, especially in the evenings when I'd pack them off to bed. Little terrors! What do I mean little? They're still at it!!!!

Best thing to do is try and wait until they're all occupied with something, then sneak off to do what you have to ;) Or, you could try bribery :rolleyes:

I must say Mazza that I haven't had a hot cup of coffee for years...as for meals, well mine are either burnt or cold :lol:

I very rarely get the chance to go in the bathroom, without one of them sitting outside the door or both of them fighting or playing about.

I think it must be the 'Joys of Parenthood' as my Mum says :hihi: :lol: :hihi:

Tri :D

:lol: :rolleyes:

whaddya mean kids? if it was just them , it wouldnt be so bad...but what do you do when its your husband who needs to consult with you urgently when you are 'on the job'???? (sorry to be vulgar)

it has been known in my house for the whole family to be in the lav at the same time, including our two cats!!!!!

i have no privacy whatsoever, if i lock the door they just shout through the door or worse look over the door through the glass panel.... :blush:

when i move house i will put a stop to it all...i have promised myself. :D

[Annabel]

:lol: :hihi: :lol:

gawd april, they just cannot manage without us for one second can they?????

we should be flattered...

:) :D

[mazza]

Oh my goodness, what have I started!!!

At least I don't feel so alone in my plight now :D

No matter how sneaky I am, I cannot get away with it in peace...I am certain there's a hidden silent remote flashing light switch hidden under my toilet seat which beacons away where they can all see it...and where I can't :rolleyes: .

Yes, I get the 'man of the house' doing it too, come to think of it and I can never hear a word he says, so he has to wait until I have come out anyway and repeat himself all over again :hihi:

[hollygolightly]

My little one (the cat) always comes to join me in the bathroom :lol:

[sapphirelily10]

As do my 5!! Nothing like an audience, eh? :lol:

[freakyfun]

You could always install a lock and soundproofing? That way you can have peace and quiet ... ok .. so a riot may be going on outside, but that can always wait.

guys, lmfao!!!! :lol:

Same in our house though, 3 kids that seem to instantly become "bursting" as soon as you shut that door...

[Annabel]

well, this is truly a phenomenon!

i would never have dreamed of going into the loo to disturb my mum and definitely not my dad!!!!

maybe its the modern way of family life!! :lol:

[Beth]

locks are a good idea for bigger kids but little ones can get locked in, even if it high up.......I did it all the time, in fact in the end I was told not to lock the door!! :blush:

that changed when I was about 14 and my mum was chasing my brother and he burst in on me! think he was more embarrassed than me!!! :blush: :blush:

[Neighboured]

My mum's dog used to wait outside the toilet for her. If ever she took longer than he thought she should, he'd let out one small but imperious WOOF! to let her know! :lol:
