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?

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.

A man's toilet is his castle.
