As any parent can tell you, once your kid starts walking and talking, you get little to no privacy. This is especially true when it comes to bathroom breaks. My wife tells me that she has not taken a bathroom break with the door closed in 2 years.
The other day Chelsea went to the store and left me home with Danni. I knew the policy that if you are home alone with Danni that you need to turn on Elmo and leave the door open if you had to go the bathroom. I turned on the DVR’d Sesame Street and told Danni that I was going to the potty.
The potty is sometimes referred to the “library” in my house. So I might have lost track of time. Next thing I know, Danni is at the door and said, “Let me ask you a question?”
Any man can tell you that they fell most vulnerable when their pants are around their ankles. I am not a big fan of talking when this is happening and I definitely did not want my daughter to see me in that position. I recovered quickly and said, “Sure honey ask away.”
Danni scrunched up her face and said, “You got poop?”
“Yes Danni I did”
“That smells. You flush now. Thank you.” and closed the door.

Our 21 month old gets very upset if one of us locks the bathroom door, and unfortunately she’s also a pro at working the door knobs now…so no more library time for me now either. Definite change of habits!
Yeah- No toilet time, no shower time, no grooming time. Perhaps by the time puberty hits- oh, but by then we won’t even get in the door!
We have one bathroom, 2 kids 10 and 13, and 3 schnauzers, they ALL want to be in the bathroom every time I need to really use it. It does not get better…
@Eric: Danni is pretty good at the knobs. Privacy is only invaded for Daddy when Mommy is not home.
@Meg: Don’t remind me puberty is around the corner
@Micki: We at least got 2 bathrooms.
