If
you are the mother or father of a child you know that there is no such thing as
privacy anymore. I swear that there is an internal alarm that goes off inside
my children’s heads notifying them of the exact moment that I enter a bathroom…
What is really funny to me is that my youngest son seems to have his internal
alarm dialed into my older son’s routine as well.
Each
time my oldest son enters a bathroom my youngest son is right there at the door
wanting to come in. While my oldest child needs privacy from mommy and daddy
when going potty, he does not need privacy from his little brother. In fact he
prefers it if his brother is sitting by the door waiting for him to complete
his business – as opposed to playing without him.
I
find this humorous beyond belief. My oldest child does not want to miss a thing
and requests that life as we know it take a break while he uses the restroom.
All shows have to be stopped, all games have to be on hold, and friends need to
stop playing until he has finished using the restroom. I have no idea what he
thinks he would be missing, but he is bound and determined not to miss a thing…
even if it means parting with his personal privacy to keep an eye on his
sibling.
Do your children do this?
