Meghan yesterday reminded me that I hadn't talked about poo in a while, and she is right. Luckily, tonight the perfect blog topic presented itself to me.
Babes finally saw the light today. When he saw the thick carpet of snow covering our part of the world this morning, he cleverly decided that for once he would not go and join the queues and spend half his day in the car. He worked from home.
He was here all day, intermittently watching the children, and yet I could not poo until he'd "officially" finished his working day and was definitely downstairs watching them. I think this should be added to the medical textbooks. "Safe toilet syndrome" should include those occasions when you can't pop your pellet because you're not sure your kids are 100% safe.
Right, date night here I come.
(BTW, thank you so much all of you for making me feel all happy yesterday. I was having a bad day, and you all made it so much better.)

Wow, what a romantic gal. :)
ReplyDeleteIn contrast, I'm not 100% sure my *house* is safe unless the whippet is with me, trying to see what is going on behind me...
ReplyDeleteI love poo posts! I can talk poo without doing it on my own blog! Har-de-har-har! My family has safe toilet syndrome too - I had it for years on every camping trip. You can fix it then by drinking a lot of beer, but I don't really like beer that much anymore. Then I later got IBS so no more constipation. But my bum has a homing device - on my way back from even a day trip as soon as I am within three miles of my house, it is a struggle to keep it contained until I get to my safe toilet.
ReplyDeleteWow. My issue is more about getting a small clear space to go in without anyone calling upstairs to me or banging at the door and wailing.
ReplyDeleteParenthood refuses calm eating and toileting/ showering priveleges.
Ahhh. Reason #490870 why I don't have kids. I like to poo when I want to. :)
ReplyDeletewhat carissa said.
ReplyDeletethanks for the laugh.
what happened to the comments on the video post?
This is the first year I haven't had to drag kids in with me while I poo for the safe toilet factor. They still won't let me close the door yet, however. I can't WAIT for that day I can poo it in peace!
ReplyDeleteglad you're feeling better!!!
Isn't motherhood grand?
ReplyDeletePoo and date night all mentioned in the same post....love it!
ReplyDeleteSO very funny. I tend to just take the kiddo with me....it's fun for the whole family.
ReplyDelete@Kori - I know, don't you just wish I was your date, clean bowel and all?
ReplyDelete@Pueblo girl - :-)
@GingerB - Oh, I get that, too. First thing I do when I get home.
@Jo - I do hide on the toilet when there isn't a small toddler around.
@carissajaded - On balance, I still think they were worth the hassle. :-)
@Bethany - Is there something wrong? I can still see them. The internet is freaky.
@geeksinrome - I can't poo if someone is with me, or watching me. This is problematic. Peeing is no problem. (I thought you might want to know the full story.)
@Ms. Moon - Oh yes, and this third pregnancy is certainly bringing it home to me.
@Countess - My pleasure.
@mountainmomma - Yeah, see, I can't do that. The poo is shy.
i m ..shocked...i m so not willing to .gah i can not even write it...just say i need my privacy in generell and no poo problems in this house of mine..my poo-vacy is well respected...
ReplyDeleteHi for been following your blog for a little while now. I think its great! I have four boys and have trained my bowels that they dont get any toilet action (!) until hubby gets home from work as I get no peace. If he ever goes away for more than a couple of days I can see there being a nasty shutdown!! I enjoyed the video - keep at it, any toilet talk appreciated - its what keeps me going lol x
ReplyDeleteHaha - "safe toilet syndrome" !!
ReplyDeleteI like taking my kids with me too. That way I don't miss out on it, and they are too busy holding their noses to get into any trouble.
ReplyDeleteNothing like popping one's pellet just before a date.
ReplyDeleteGlad I could make life happier in all realms of life :p
ReplyDeleteYay! Poop is like my favorite subject ever. Next to placenta eating and booger inspections. Thanks for sharing. You're my kinda gal.
