There is a door to our only bathroom from DS's room, so every time we flush the toilet it has the potential to wake him up. This is something I am considering when looking for a house, I definitely want separation of space between the master suite and other rooms - and I actually prefer a more closed off floor plan vs. open concept because of this reason as well. I don't like when the upstairs (bedroom area) has an opening to the downstairs which seems to be a very 90's floor plan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713876 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 09:59:56 +0000 artsyfartsy 1713876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SAME! Can't wait to move in a couple of years. We will be moving into my dad's house and our bathroom is a mile away from LOs room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713838 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 09:03:33 +0000 StbHisMrs 1713838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another no flusher at night here!! C is still in my room until I have time to reconfigure four girls beds in one room :wink: Sadly our master bath also shares a wall with their room, and the guest/kids bathroom is directly across the hall from their room. </p> <p>Our next home needs to have the master on the opposite side of the home, my first home was like that and I LOVED it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713801 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 08:33:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1713801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of our top requirements for a house was a split floor plan! But we didn't think about the fact that the washer/dryer back the nursery crib wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713591 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 00:42:36 +0000 googly-eyes 1713591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I'm sorry. :( I can kind of relate as our one shower/tub combo is between the two bedrooms (door in the hallway) and shares a wall with lo's crib. When I want to shower while she's asleep I leave the fan on when I put her down so she falls asleep with that and her white noise on, and then somehow she doesn't wake up. I shower about 30-60 mins after she falls asleep usually, if it's nighttime. Haven't tried in in the daytime. Maybe you could also try a towel under the door while you're turning the water on to keep the noise out? It might be the pipes in the wall though. Actually come to think of it I think our last place the bathroom shared a wall with her room too, although not the wall the crib was next to. I can't help you with the hair dryer, though. That is one of the reasons I don't use one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713495 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 22:25:19 +0000 .twist. 1713495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Seattlemom: I dream of a different house daily!

How can I fix them?</p> <p>@lawbee11: we have the munchkin one. It's not on full volume though.... Maybe we need to start. I just didn't want to get into the habit. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713492 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 22:23:44 +0000 lady grey 1713492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg I feel your pain! We only have one bathroom and it shares a wall with LO's room. Although it doesn't seem to always wake him, it sometimes does, so I always worry about it. I won't even let DH shower for work until 6am or later. We even worry about flushing the toilet. Hate having that little stress every day. Dreaming of a different house someday... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713449 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 21:38:33 +0000 lawbee11 1713449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Which white noise machine do you have?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713432 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 21:23:14 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1713432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Is it the actual shower sound or the crazy high pitched pipe sound in the wall? If it's the pipes, maybe you can get it looked at. As for the hair dryer... sorry lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713415 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 21:09:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 1713415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our guest bathroom is right next to C's room and the toilet flushes SO loudly. We don't let guests use it while she is sleeping and make them use the master which luckily is far enough away. Nap time IS shower time! </p> <p>Our kitchen is close to her room, though, so I can do general quiet clean up or cooking in there, but I can't empty the dishwasher. I hate when I forget to do it until she is in bed. And forget vacuuming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713410 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 21:03:09 +0000 petunia354 1713410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes. We are moving into our new house in a couple weeks and our bath will share a wall with O's room....so, let me know if you find a remedy to the situation :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713405 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 20:59:39 +0000 .twist. 1713405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I don't think so. Our other two boys don't hear much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713383 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 20:50:05 +0000 blackbird 1713383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gah maybe my kid is a freak. Her white noise machine is so loud that I can hear it from the kitchen though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713381 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 20:49:13 +0000 .twist. 1713381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: @BananaPancakes: OMG. No night flushing around this place either. I do not want to risk a MOTN wake up! Sorry you gals have to do the same. At least I'm not the only stinky one. ;) LOL jk. </p> <p>@scg00387: He's got great hearing, little stinker... </p> <p>@Mrs squirreld: sorry you have to deal with it too! UGH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713371 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 20:46:45 +0000 BananaPancakes 1713371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: We have the same setup! @Mrs. Jump Rope: We don't flush #1 at night, either. Such a pita and gross, but I don't want to risk it. Sleep is precious around this joint. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713368 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 20:46:01 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1713368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I feel your pain, our kitchen backs onto E's room so tidying up/cooking when he's sleeping suuuucks! We use white noise too. I swear kids have the best hearing! Wish I could help! Oh and the laundry is on the otherwise of his room :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713363 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 20:42:59 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1713363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SAME. We can't even flush the toilet at night or she wakes up. Now that's gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713362 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 20:42:56 +0000 immabeetoo 1713362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That stinks!! Mine has bat ears, just like me but fortunately our bathroom isn't nearby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713358 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 20:41:49 +0000 .twist. 1713358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I might have to! I swear it wasn't as bad when he was a newborn, and it's gotten WAY louder! He is also a light sleeper.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713347 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 20:32:22 +0000 blackbird 1713347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of our bathrooms is right next to E's room and we've never had this issue! Your kid is an insanely light sleeper! :shocked: </p> <p>Maybe...two white noise machines! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-my-house#post-1713340 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 20:27:13 +0000 .twist. 1713340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, who designs housing floor plans? I need to have a chat with whoever designed ours. I mean, I know not EVERY family has children, but a good majority do and I think they should take that into consideration! </p> <p>Our master bathroom shares a wall with L, and the shower startles him awake every time we try to shower. So, I started showering in the other bathroom.... except... it's RIGHT across the hall from L's room and while it worked great when he was younger, it now wakes him up as well. Not to mention the sound of my blow dryer also wakes him up. </p> <p>We use white noise in his room, I use the fan while showering... </p> <p>I tried waiting until he was awake and showering WITH him, but that was a complete disaster and he either spent the time pitifully shivering on the floor or happily splashing about in my arms while I did not get any cleaner. </p> <p>We NEED a bigger house with a different floor plan. DH is so attached to this one because of how convenient it is to run his business out of... </p> <p>So I've succumbed to never showering. ever. I will never again. Not until L moves out... </p> <p>I'm half joking and half venting.... :crying: </p>
