All parents, especially mothers, know that privacy can feel like a distant memory once kids arrive. Whether it’s using the bathroom, taking a shower, or simply having a moment to yourself—interruptions are inevitable. It’s high time to establish some boundaries, and one mother has created the perfect solution.
Introducing the ultimate bathroom sign that every mom needs to display. Originally shared on Practical Parenting’s Facebook page, it has garnered over 11,000 shares—a clear indication of its widespread appeal. The sign boldly states: If mom is in the bathroom, you are NOT allowed to…
- Knock, unless the house is ablaze or someone is bleeding out. Seriously, why do kids insist on knocking when we’re trying to relieve ourselves? Trust me, we’re not in the mood to play therapist mid-pee. Your urgent need for a snack can wait; unless there’s a serious emergency, please just wait outside.
- Yell questions while the shower is running! Newsflash—when the water is on, I can’t hear you! Showers are our mini spa retreats, even if they last just seven minutes. Is it too much to ask for a little peace during that time?
- Stand inches from the door and then complain when it swings open and hits you! Seriously, back it up. Unless you want a doorknob to the face, give me some space.
- Slip me notes of any kind, especially those with checkboxes! Before you slide a note under the door, ask yourself: Can I survive the next two minutes without mom? Spoiler alert: you can! Your art project can wait, and no, I don’t need to see your latest drawing while I’m trying to enjoy some peace.
