Why does FIL use toilet in our master bath when others are available?

If you took a shower in my master bathroom with blood, I would fucking freak out. Please tell me you do not do this in other people's homes.

He's loud and he's smelly and he's trying to be polite by going as far from the family as possible. He is trying to do right by you, so accept that for what it is.

Is your toilet nicer than the one in the basement? Is the seat more comfortable? (i.e. solid material vs. flimsy uncomfortable plastic?) does it do a better job flushing down the toilet paper, etc.? People typically spend more on a master bath toilet than a basement bath, so maybe your master bath is just nicer.

Honestly, I'd think that was weird and annoying too, but he's probably just looking for privacy. I hate the idea of someone hearing me poop or smelling the evidence.

OP, I envy you. If this is the single worst problem you are facing, your life must be very, very good indeed.

My dad does this, and I finally asked him why and he said that he likes my bathroom. It is spacious and he has privacy. He also likes my DH's reading material which I suspect is the real reason he uses our bathroom.

Given the availability of a different bathroom which is equally private (the basement), I would be livid over this. I am a very private person and very bothered by people going into my private spaces, unasked.

I would *tell* him that if he needs to use the bathroom, the one on the main floor and in the basement are available. Then give him a pointed look.

He just doesn't want to stink up the whole downstairs while everyone is visiting.

It should be obvious, even to an idiot, he wants privacy. How does this hurt you? Maybe you should have a Johnny on the Spot just for him. Does anyone in your family even like you? You are a terrible hostess.

Ah, it's cup half empty poster. I never said this is "the single worst problem" I am facing, but my life is, indeed, very good. We all have things that irritate us. I suspect my post is one of those things in your life.

Did you miss the part about the full bathroom in the basement? I have 3 levels that includes 3.5 baths, so I'm familiar with OP's setup. The majority of my hosting is done on the main level. If folks want privacy to drop a bomb, they can go in the basement. Or if they insist on going upstairs to the bedroom level, they can use the hall bathroom. Using my master bath would be a huge no-no and an invasion of my privacy. Not enough for me to throw a shit fit over, but I'd be really annoyed.

I bet the master bath has an elongated bowl. Much more comfortable.

Agree 100%. Hardly a terrible hostess.
