Clicky Poll re: you, DH, and bathroom

ppants

DH and I are building a house. We have a door on the toliet area in the master bathroom because I want it and DH thinks I'm weird.  I see him using the bathroom and he doesn't care.  I, on the other hand, don't want him in the bathroom if I'm on the toliet.  I just wanted some other ladies' opinions.

People have bathrooms without doors? That's gross! All bathrooms should have a door.

Well, I don't care  if DH sees me pee.  But he's the one who is super private about all of it.  Pooping, though, I want my privacy!!!

So I vote for "door".

I would want a door anyway, even if for no other reason than the ability to close the bathroom off and run the fan after a stinky. I assume we're talking about a door between the bedroom and bathroom, not necessarily a water closet door inside the bathroom. I could take or leave those as I wouldn't really want a party guest washing their hands or applying makeup while I pee anyway. Generally we keep the door closed though there's a gray area with a toddler/preschooler.

This is in our master bathroom where we will have two vanities, a walk-in shower, jet tub, and a water closet with a door.  It's a two story house so chances are guests won't be up there anyway.  I can be on the toliet with the door shut while DH is at his sink.

We just built a house and the toilet was suppose to have a door around it and we ended up putting a 1/2 wall on the side of it instead of fully inclosing it. It makes the bathroom look bigger and opens it up. We have 3 bathrooms so if we both have to go there are no issues.

EastCoastBride

My take- if one of you wants a door, get a door.  He can think you're weird all he wants.  That doesn't negate your right to privacy when you take care of your business!

While I'm sure there are other bathrooms in the house, the fact that you have a master bath that's large enough to even have a water closet  - I feel you should both be able to use the bathroom at the same time if you want while also maintaining a little bit of privacy.

Yes, but I'll add the caveat that it's only if I'm peeing. We only have one bathroom, so sometimes you have to pee while the other person is showering or shaving or otherwise getting ready for the day. I'll usually try to hold it until he's done but if we're both trying to get out the door sometimes I'll pee with him there.

I love the idea of a door between the toilet and the sink, although you'd have to constantly lysol that knob down since you're touching it after wiping and before washing!

Together 10 years and DH would die if I saw him sitting & shitting as well.  #1, door open, no boundries.  #2, door closed for both of us.

I vote door, but I'm thinking more like a hotel bathroom where you have the toilet and sink and then another sink on the outside of the room with the toilet style...  That way after you go you can still wash your hands before exiting the bathroom but the other person isn't on hold while waiting for the other to take care of business if they need to shower/shave/brush teeth before going somewhere...  Either way, always a door by the throne!!!  You may not THINK you'll have people in there but if you have a kid's milestone party with your family and there are, it's entirely possible you'll need the extra bathroom to use then and you don't want it just an open space...

we are building a house too. we are also putting a door in front of the toilet because i do not want him to come in and poop while i am putting makeup on.

pee i don't care, the other no way.  i can see how a door would be nice.  whenever we stay in a hotel with a door to the toilet i always think its a good thing.

I said sometimes as I often go in our bathroom which is in the master and close the bedroom door but not the bathroom door so if he comes into the bedroom, he typically ends up seeing me.  He always closes the bathroom door.  I lived in an apartment once were the main bathroom had the shower and toilet and then had a door and the sink was in the other part.  It worked great as someone could be showering while someone else was getting ready.  If you have the space - why not add a door or at least a half wall to divide the area for a little more privacy.,

I don't care if I'm peeing and he sees me.

I'd still want a door for several reasons:

1. resale

2. if I'm not peeing (lol)

3. if I'm in the tub/shower- it's warmer with the door closed

4. when guests are over and need to use the master (if someone is in the guest)

I have to admit it very rarely happens! x

I think a bathroom should have a door. That being said, dh and I see each other on the toilet all the time. Neither of us care. Everybody poops...know what I'm sayin'?

All of my houses have had a separate sink area.  I have had one house that had a 'toilet' in a closet type thing and that was fine, but I really like the sinks separate from the toilet.  Not only for privacy, but I hate having my toothbrush in the same room as the toilet. 

In my new house, when you walk into the bathroom there is a double vanity and a linen closet, go into another door and there is the soaking tub, shower stall and toilet.  I would definately keep the toilet separate from all or part of the rest of the master bath.

I voted that yes, we see eachother go to the bathroom.  That being said, I would definitely like a door between the sink and toilet.  It's just nice to have if someone's going #2 or if someone else comes in to use the bathroom (like if you have a party or something and someone needs the extra bathroom).

This.

We just take turns in the bathroom.  No one needs to barge in on anyone.  Use a different bathroom, or put a vanity outside the bathroom.

I think doors between the toilet and sink are super gross, since you don't get to wash your hands.
