Girls going to the bathroom together!

I remember doing this too. In fact, that habit hasn't really stopped.

Safety in numbers

You need to unclench.

Highlight is mine - I think this is the reason for frustration. The girls might not realize it is the only bathroom. I wouldn't be to bothered by it, but I would tell them to move on.

This is my question also...are you worried about some kind of inappropriate behavior?

Otherwise, I would say be very really happy that your house is the one that the kids will come to, there is a lot of good in that.

That sounds strange to me too. I have all girls and this never happens when they have groups of friends over.  Everyone goes one at a time.  Neither the boys or the girls go in groups.  We would love to put a powder room in the basement.  The kids have to come upstairs to use the powder room.

 I can see it happening if they are at the movies or at dinner at a restaurant. My friends and I would always do it to talk about where we should go next (if double dating). But never in someone's house! Maybe the guests would go find the bathroom together because they are uncomfortable in someone's house. But they would go in one at a time and wait outside the bathroom for their friend. Of course if it's girls doing it, they may be borrowing each other's makeup. We sometimes reapplied make up during a date.

We do that, too.

OP, I get that you only have one bathroom. So if someone else has to go just knock on the door and say so.

Otherwise who cares?

Do you know why girls go to the bathroom in odd numbered groups?

Because they can't even.

If you click on the OP's profile you will see she is in Scotland.

Scrolled up to check the age and looked over the DS being the one who is 16. Reading comprehension. Is the drinking age in Scotland 16?

Olan, in many states in the US, parents can serve their minor children alcohol in their home. I occasionally give my daughter wine to sip with dinner...we talk a lot about wineries in the area, and what types of wine there are.

I'm 32 and my friends and I still do this. the only time I've recently done it at a home is when we were drinking though.

The legal drinking age in the UK is 18. You could be on dicey ground if the police were called. Happened to a woman I work with. She thought that she was doing the right thing by being present when the party took place, but it got noisy and the police were called. She was done for allowing minors to drink on her property. The fact that a couple of spliffs were found didn't help.

Girls always go to the loo in groups. They can talk about boys, and admire themselves in the mirror and apply a bit more Heal and Conceal while they are in there.
