I want to go to the bathroom BY MYSELF!

If you are a mom, you have probably thought this.  I am thinking it today.  I would like for the most private activity to be, oh, I don't know, PRIVATE!

I have brought this upon myself.  When Ella was potty training, I would take her into the bathroom with me all the time so that she got used to the idea.  Now, if I make the kids leave, one cries the whole time, and the other yells questions at me through the door.  Not exactly a relaxing environment.


I have written a little poem in order to air my frustration.

Potty Mouth

by Beth Lewis

I'd like to go potty alone.

And sit on my porcelain throne.

Yet when I get the need,

my kids, with great speed,

come into my privacy zone.

 

 

When nature calls me to the loo

My children take that as a cue

to follow me in.

It gets under my skin!

I'm not really sure what to do.

 

 

When I have to go to the john

why must a party go on?

I would like to be

Alone - just me!

Without either one of my spawn.
