Divorce over toilet sest

[Anonymous]

Way to exert your authority OP. Show him who's boss! Men stomping all over our right to totalitarian dictatorship of the household needs to stop. If only I could get my husband and children on a schedule so I could be there to scold them right as it happened. Oh, the results would be glorious. All the other women of the world who spend their energy worrying about toilet seats will envy me. I will get so much greater reward out of this than the therapy I clearly need because I devalue my husband and have relegated him below the status of a toilet seat.

LOL, there you go - what a DCUM response. "My husband won't put the seat down." "YOU NEED TO MOVE YOU ARE GROSS FOR PICKING THAT HOUSE."

Seriously, if one buys a house with a toilet right next to the kitchen - where it is actually visible when the door is left open - I think the occupants have no one to blame but themselves for the choice. I can't think of a location for a toilet that is more unsuitable.

Now you really should divorce. You have married a beast!

Have to agree. This would be illegal in the UK, where code requires two doors between a toilet and food preparation areas.

I insist on seat-down in my home for safety's sake. It's much safer with small children around. It also keeps things from the counter falling in, like rings or cellphone.

No way is an open bowl of toilet water safe or sanitary.

Thank you for this. I actually read it, and the toilet seat, in my house, belongs down. #winning

Many homes pre-1950s had a half-bath added in a former pantry or porch off the kitchen. Its hardly unusual. Just close the door!

Exactly - this is not about convenience or gender/sex.
