My daughter is 22. Just graduated from college. Lives with us. Will start her new job in about a week.
I can't tell you how many times I have gone to the bathroom the last few months and had her come to the door to talk with me. Lol
Do the kids at the bathroom door thing ever stop? 😆

Between my daughter and the dogs there’s no going to the bathroom in peace around here! 😂

Well I haven’t had any kids at home for a few years but they do text and seem to expect that I’ve just been waiting for them to message me 😉

Thanks for the smile.
When DS was very little, he would always come to the bathroom door and ask "Cookie? Cracker?". He was less than 2, but I think he figured that I would say "Yes" to get him to leave me in peace.

Hahaha I think you need to start talking to her through the door when she's the one in the bathroom.  |

I'm convinced it never ends! Mom's just don't ever know privacy. My husband just shakes his head when the kids do this to me (ages 23, 18 & 16), and then the 2 cats walk out trailing behind me!! Cause lord forbid anyone even dare think of even standing by the door when he is in there🙄 If I even shut the door and leave the cats on the otherside the meow and meow until I let them in. So yeah, no privacy at all!!😂

Never stops! My 23 DD is home from grad school and does the same thing. I can't even get into bed at night without her there to chat! I love her lots and love to talk to her, but gah.

No, my kids were told at a young age not to bother me when I’m in the bathroom unless it’s an emergency. I got so sick of turning off the shower mid shampoo, wrapping myself in a towel, to be asked if they could have a snack or watch a dvd. So unless there’s a major emergency that may require parental intervention, leave me alone.

My mother is 85. She stops me at the bathroom door. So I would say one way or another, nope, it never stops.

Hahaha!! I have to say, neither of my kids stand at the bathroom/toilet door while I'm in there, thanks goodness. But my 22yo DD will go to the toilet and sit in there for AGES, phone in hand - messaging people, checking out FB or Snap Chat or whatever..... I just don't get it. |

Since having children I’ve never had a single second of complete privacy. I’ve convinced myself it’s because they really love me. Otherwise I’d be insane by now. ☺️

I just have feline supervisors ... awesome I have feline supervisors too. I have a dog, but he doesn't care about following me to the bathroom anymore. The cats have issues with each other and it is a race to see who gets in there first. Even before I am in there myself! I get up from a chair and the "newbie cat" that was once my neighbor's cat is fast and he races into the bathroom and plops himself down sideways on the floor, taking up as much sitting space as possible. I've almost stepped on him more than once. My sweet little black female will come in, but she is afraid of the newbie cat so she jumps up onto the counter beside the toilet. The newbie also won't let her leave without chasing her. I now have a routine of picking her up and carrying her into the other room so that he can't scare her. I wish I didn't feel so responsible for him. He upsets the balance of power between them, but he is really a nice cat. My other male cat doesn't cower and could care less if that cat is in there first. He just barges in and climbs up on my leg for ear scratches. The other little female will jump up onto my lap for her ear scratches. I've tried shooing them all out and closing the door, but the I get them scratching on the door and meowing. That triggers the dog to bark. Sigh. At least I'm not lonely all the time. |

No kids.
But, no showering without the cat laying on the floor mat next to the shower.
Don't even think of shutting the bathroom door, she will sit outside the door meow incessantly.

My teens still do this! I don't get it. They know where I am. They know I won't be in there for hours on end. They know I'm going to say I'll talk to them when I'm done. Why don't they just wait until I come out?!

When the kids moved out, I still had the dogs in there with me. They know I am a captive audience and pets will be given. Whenever I go into the room by myself, it feels weird.

Nope. I always say that no one ever needs me until I go into the bathroom. Not just kids, but DH, the dog... and it continues at work. I may be sitting at my desk all day, but get up for a 5 min bathroom break and that’s when the phone rings. Without fail.

With my dogs and cat, no, it never ends. If my cat doesn't bust in on my morning pee, I'm shaking a bag of treats looking for her. My kids 22 & 18 leave me alone in the bathroom, except the shower. For some reason my being behind a shower curtain has always been their confessional. They come in and sit on the floor and spill whatever they need to say in person, but don't really want to say to my face. It's been that way since they were in elementary school and has continued as young adults. It works for us.

When my nephew was 2 my sister took a shower. When she got out of the shower she found that he had set up one of his little chairs in the bathroom and was sitting there staring at the shower curtain, waiting for her to get out. Evidently he knew it was going to take a while.  She took a picture of it. It is so cute. |
