What is the attraction to my fortress of solitude? Why does everyone in my home need to see what is in my little area?
My house has 3 fully equipped bathrooms. All quite nice. My bathroom is an ensuite, nicely appointed but not extravagant. But, I like it.
Every single morning..every single day, my kids need in there. Why? Dang, I just don't know. Now let me say unequivocally that this is not typically an access issue. Oft times, their bathroom is vacant, all the while insisting on needing to use mine.
The other day, in one of my rare brainstorms (very, very rare actually) I took my daughter to the local drug store and bought everything her little heart desired, for her and her brother for THEIR bathroom. But alas, the very next morning they had to get into my bathroom. They needed to see what was in there....they had to ponder life, through the prism of my sink..or maybe mirror. So, for fun...I took a little inventory of their bathroom.
Are you ready?
-3 towels, -4 bottles of shampoo, -1 bottle of conditioner, -1 bottle of Axe body wash (actually mine, but that's another Lygenztia), -2 tubes of toothpaste, -1 bottle of hair mousse, -2 jars of hair gel, -2 brushes and 1 comb, -1 hair curler, -1 hair straightener (huh??), -2 toothrushes,
-1 ceramic man holding 4 rolls of toilet paper (our "butler"), -1 squirt bottle of hand soap,
-Tommy Hilfiger aftershave, -1 razor and shaving cream
So, tell me again what it is that they must have out of MY bathroom? I still have not figured that out. What can I do to get my little room back? I've thought about it, but have no new ideas.I think that when you get married, you give up on any exclusivity to your bathroom rights, espcially if it is an ensuite. I have resigned myself to the fact that I will have no private ensuite bathroom until they go off to college, or hopefully University.
But I will have my revenge. I will, I have planned it. When they get married and buy their home and settle down...I have my plan for revenge.
We are going to visit, overnite in their new home. The FIRST morning I am going to set my alarm for 6:30PM. Then, I am going to put on my fuzzy old guy slippers, with my Hugh Hefner smoking jacket and knock on their bedroom door at about 6:40AM.
Then, I am going in their room and I am going to use THEIR bathroom....for as long as I want.
I need to see what's in there....
