Does anyone else find their husband’s bathroom habits extremely annoying? Like, why is it that my hubs must take a minimum of 30 minutes to poop? WHY? I have questioned him about it a million times, and I am sure he secretly wants to tell me off every time. One common answer is that it really does take that long to go…he said that it is a process. Really? Why does it take me under a minute, beginning to end? We have the same anatomy there, so what is the problem? It is one of those things that gets under my skin.
Pre-kids, it wasn’t so bothersome. The only time I cared was when I had to pee or something. Now, it is majorly irritating. Sure, hubby. You just go sit in the bathroom and hide with your “Words with Friends” app while your two year old daughter takes a huge shit in her diaper, your son wants me to play with him, I’m cleaning the living room, and trying to make dinner. I sometimes picture him sitting on the toilet (eww) and smiling, breathing a sigh of relief, while he hears me downstairs yelling at the kids. Lord knows what is going on in that room. All I know is that it is a man’s escape from reality.
To make matters worse, we only have one bathroom. And why is it that when I need to use it, one or both kids need to join me? I wish men knew what it was like to have a curious child staring at them while trying to covertly take out and put in a tampon. It’s seriously unreal. Oh, and to top it all off, he bought a squatty potty to help make his bathroom experience more enjoyable. If you don’t know what it is, check it out. And pray that your husband doesn’t get one because you will see even less of him than you do now.
