Some privacy please!!

If one of my children barges into the bathroom when more time on me I’m going to cry. Our crummy apt. door locks only work 1/3 of the time and a closed door means nothing to these kiddos.

At least Obi-Wan made me laugh after he pounded the door open earlier today right after I had stepped out of the shower. He took one look at me and said with worry on his face,

“Mom, your weenies aw gone!”

“Yes indeed son. Thank you for letting me know. NOW GET OUT!!”

Peeing is a spectacle. Showering is a spectacle. Getting dressed is a spectacle. These little boys seem to know just when they shouldn’t be banging doors open and proceed to do so anyway, gawking with fascination at the obvious differences they have just begun to notice.
I’m going to have to start barricading the doors dadgummit!

That’s funny, but I also feel your pain. I don’t think I’ve gone to the bathroom alone in 2 years.

Have you tried opening the drawer next to the door? It works great as a fail-safe. The door still opens but not more than a couple inches.

LOL. Sorry to laugh at your expense. :-)

The locks in our house work just fine, but that doesn’t release me from the guilty feelings as my child stands outside the door, banging on it, screaming, “Mommy! Mommy! Don’t go away! Can I come in Please!?”

On the bright side, at least you’re weenie free! ;-)

Neil sometimes asks me to come get one of the girls when he’s going to the bathroom so he can have some privacy.

I laugh a little hysterically when he says that.

Yeah… I lock and barracade doors. I know I shouldn’t laugh, but, I did. :) At least your son didn’t say what my daughter did… on one occasion she told me my body was “all lumpy” and the another time she said “you look funny - something is wrong with your bumps and lumps - they keep getting bigger”. Kids - the ultimate self esteem deflators ;)

LOL Melissa! Amen to your last sentence.

I try to lock the doors as well but our bathroom with the shower does not have a good lock either. I have WAY too many embarrassing stories about my boys comments regarding my body. Yes, it is the ultimate deflator.

I love this story! My kids have no clue what privacy is either. The older ones are catching on because they want their own privacy but still when it comes to MY privacy, they seem to forget unless I warn them in advance. Someday they will probably have to have therapy, but my defense is, “I tried!”
