Settle a disagreement between DH and me

[Anonymous]

So my hubby is the same. Here is what I did::

1. Disable the bathroom lock
2. The kids go in the bathroom after 5 minutes and bug Daddy about how much they have to use the bathroom.
3. He gets off the toilet 30 seconds later.

I never nagged, never raised my voice, never bothered him. Hubby adores me. I also NEVER told him how the bathroom lock broke "why are you looking at me? I would never do it"

Crazy as a fox.

Now ask me how I got my husband off caffeine. Tons of tricks up my sleeve. Don't let in to your husband. Dishonesty is the secret to strong marriages.

That's for whom Liquid Ass was invented.

You need to do an AMA thread, I want to learn your ways!

When I was in my early 20s I went through a phase where I only dated older men, and they almost all had hemorrhoids. Pretty sure this is why. Gross.

I would just like to add today is an extremely appropriate date on which to be having this discussion.

I would find that situation one, just ridiculous, but his behavior and getting annoyed when someone else has to use the bathroom is even worse. If you can't do your business within a minute or two, you don't actually have to go or you need to up your fiber intake. It is in sane to spend half an hour on the toilet unless you are able. He needs to read somewhere else. This is just messed up on so many levels

Why do you hate caffeine? I would have reinstalled the lock the same day, takes no time. Is your husband incapable of using a screwdriver?

Umm... OP's life must be going really well. She didn't come here asking to settle extramarital sex problem, husband's erectile dysfunction problem, kids' delinquency problems, family financial problems, death in the family, unemployment, general meaning of life, etc. Instead, her problem in her life is - the toilet hogging problem. Her life's going really well. Wish that's all I have to worry about in life...

His behavior is inexcusable. You need to move or he needs to go to Starbucks and take care of business (after he buys something).

He should spend his shit time looking for a better job so he can provide a better life - aka another bathroom - for his family.

What a selfish ass.

OP here. I can hold it. The issue is that DD, who is 6, can’t hold it and also doesn’t always know when she will need to go. Would it be good to learn those skills? Of course, and she will, but at the moment, she’s 6 and waiting 20+ minutes to use the bathroom because an adult is taking a long poop or hanging out by himself is not a reasonable expectation. Being snippy with her when she knocks after waiting the 5 minutes she’s able to wait is equally unreasonable.

My family traveled a lot when I was little. Number one rule was "if there is a bathroom, you go". 6yo can wake up and go to the bathroom. It's not like it's a middle of the day emergency. As I understand it's not a health issue that is not easily solvable, how does she manage in school? Why are you all awake at the same time?

I think your DH does need to see if anyone needs to use the bathroom before he goes. That’s common courtesy especially before you smell up the bathroom. And dd needs to try to go to the bathroom or she should be able to hold it 20 minutes. We did have an issue with our youngest going to the bathroom because she would rather watch t.v, play etc, and was waiting until the last minute to go ...sometimes having potty accidents at home at least in early elementary school and we have multiple bathrooms. We had to insist bathroom before tv turned on, going places etc. and get her out of the habit of waiting last minute.

He needs to man up and provide a place with at least one bathroom per family member, he's a loser
