Using the bathroom in peace + Wed Links

I don’t even bother to close the bathroom doors in my house anymore because honestly, these kids come through the door even if its closed they don’t knock or anything they just open the door and come straight through. I mean I could be letting a big one out and in the middle of it, they just come in see you straining and they still asking you questions and shat. My son had to go to the Doctor on Monday so Zaza and I were in the waiting room waiting for our name to be called. 

Zaza: Mom……I think I have to potty

Me: Can you hold it I don’t want to miss my name just in case they call me for something

Zaza: No…no I don’t think I can

Me: Okay let me find a bathroom (I start scanning the room but really I was just going to ignore her for a while)

Zaza: *all loud and shat in the middle of the waiting room where at least 15 people sat waiting* Mom I really have to doo doo like you did last night when you stunk

Don’t let me be on my period she is loud too. This happened in a public bathroom earlier this year

Zaza: Mom, why are you putting on a diaper

Me: (feels like one) its to catch the nasty red stuff that comes out of mommy

Zaza: Oh, why do you roll it up in the purple thingy

Me: So I can dispose of it neatly

Zaza: So what did you do in the diaper doo doo or pee pee……….

Me: *to myself* Geesus I hope no one is in this bathroom with me 

Conclusion: I close the door when I use the bathroom but my bathroom doors have no lock so she just acts like the door is not closed and comes right in every time I am in the bathroom. I sometimes want to cry because I can’t even use the toilet in my house….funny thing is though they want their privacy when they use the bathroom. 

Wed Links

This GDPR thing is overwhelming, to say the least.

I don’t like hugs….they hurt

I need to talk about the neighborhood kids in my next conversation

Wendy’s is killing it over on Twitter 

This looks healthy and easy to make. I think I have some Granola to

I have always dreamed of giving a speech at a graduation but what would I say?

It’s not easy to save a bad week but you can do it like this and find something to smile about

A gas station turned into a home….say whaaaaaaa

    Thank god I am past the phase of my kids walking in on me in the bathroom. I think it helps that they are both boys, so it would be super inappropriate at their age anyways 🙂

    I remember those days of never using the bathroom in peace. And all those questions out loud and in public. I also agree that the GDPR is overwhelming. I just hope I have all my ducks in a row.

    Oh it seems like we will never have peace in the bathroom ever. Believe me it does come and sooner then you think. Kids do say and ask the hardest questions at the most awkward time of course.

    My kids used to walk in when they were younger. Now that they’re older they think I’m gross, so they won’t. But they will still talk to me through the door.

    “MOM! Where’s the bananas?”

    “MOM! Where’s my shoes?”

    It’s like, crap, can I get a moment to pee in peace? Please?

    My kids still walk in on me in the bathroom. And then they wonder why I don’t even bother to close the door.

    Kids always say the most embarrassing things in public places! My daughters have always come into the bathroom while I’m using it…go figure that they want their privacy!

    I remember the days of my kids having to go at the worst times usually in the supermarket. Those days are over and they are teens now with their own boundries.

    I’m at the phase where people want to have entire conversations with me while I’m taking a shower.

    Man just happened to me today, and like yours, turn around and have the nerve to tell me they need privacy when they’re using the bathroom 🤨

    I remember those days! My daughter would knock and then come straight in. What?? Why bother knocking? I asked her why she knocks and she looked at me like I was nuts. Because it is polite, she said. Bwhahaha!

    They will never leave you alone. It’s like a button goes off in their head “oh wait mom’s in the bathroom, time to ask her for/about stuff”! I think other people understand especially the parents when they hear the kids talk out loud like that.

    Lol Kita I just you are hilarious!! Ok so I get to go to the bathroom alone and my youngest doesn’t come in the bathroom. But…the second I sit on the toilet, wash my hands, turn on the shower, are in the shower, or washing my hands it’s 21 Questions time!! Smh. My oldest could care less about me being in the bathroom probably because his behind can stay in there a whole hour as if nobody else need to use it….whew kids!

    Hilarious!! This sounds just like my 4 yr old son. We were in my grandmother’s Catholic church for Easter and he chooses right in the middle of a prayer to say “MAMA, I JUST FARTED OUT MY BUTT” I could have died. My grandmother just laughed hysterically. Lol It’s all what I like to call “mama-karma”

    The only time I use the bathroom in peace is when the kids are completely away at school. LOL!

    The other day on IG I showed a clip of being in the bathroom and literally my son’s finger came across the bottom of the door. I was so glad that I had my phone with me to catch it because sometimes I feel like people don’t believe the stories that I tell about my household LOL!!! So I totally understand this story!

    As a mom, what of the first privileges to go is the ability to use the bathroom in peace. My kids are much older and now I try to lock the door for 5 min of personal quiet time.

    And this is why I’m thankful for the locks on our bathroom doors! lol

    My son doesn’t follow me so much anymore. My daughter will stand outside of the bathroom until I’m out so she can ask me something.

    Haha this is hilarious about kids and bathrooms. We do have locks in our bathrooms and we have 4 bathrooms in the house, so I just tell my kids to go to the bathroom upstairs if I was using the main floor bathroom. Obviously, our family hangs out a lot on the main floor of the house all the time so the first floor bathroom gets used the most.

    I loved this post Kita! You bore it ALL. LOL! Thanks for the link to the gas station-to-home-conversion. You know that’s right up my alley. Thank you also for the link to the GDPR info. My second largest audience is from the UK, so I’d better get my butt in order.
