Before you embraced motherhood, you might have questioned the hype surrounding the need for privacy during bathroom breaks. Is it really that challenging? Why not just close the door? What’s the deal with moms and their bathroom experiences?
The reality is that moms rarely get a moment of solitude when it comes to using the restroom. It’s one of those undeniable truths of parenting, right up there with “moms never get to eat their meals hot” and “moms often end up reheating their coffee multiple times throughout the day.” Once you become a mom, certain aspects of life, including your bathroom routine, undergo a permanent transformation.
Take Linda, for instance, who has a toddler and understands the struggle all too well. She recently shared a photo on social media, captioning it, “Can a mom not use the bathroom in peace?”
The short answer? Nope. Long answer? Absolutely not. Add a furry friend to the equation, and your chances of enjoying a quiet bathroom moment vanish completely.
Just this morning, my three-year-old walked in while I was doing my business and cheerfully exclaimed, “Good job, Mommy!” It’s adorable, sure, but really, no one needs that kind of encouragement while on the toilet—not even during potty training.
So, sorry, Linda—moms simply cannot go to the bathroom in peace. It’s one of the more frustrating realities of motherhood that we all come to accept, while secretly hoping for the day when our kids will be too embarrassed to enter the bathroom when we’re in there, just like it’s meant to be.
