[quote=Anonymous]We live in a 2bd/1bath apartment. We have an elementary schooler (and a baby, but she’s not currently relevant to the disagreement). DH, like many men I know, is in the habit of going into the background for 20-30 minutes in the morning. I get that everyone needs to poop, but half an hour is excessive in my opinion, particularly when you live with two other people, one of whom is a small child who can’t always just hold it for half an hour while you finish reading AV Club or whatever. DH thinks that DD and I should just make sure to proactively use the bathroom before he goes in there and sees no need to change his behavior around this issue. He gets grouchy when DD knocks on the door to let him know that she needs to use the bathroom, which I also think is unreasonable. I think that a) on the weekend when we are all home, he needs to use the bathroom quickly and do his morning internet reading somewhere else and that b) if he’s planning on being a while, he needs to announce that and ask DD to use the bathroom before he goes in there - but that it’s his responsibility, not hers.

Moving to a place with multiple bathrooms is not on the menu for at least a year. [/quote]
