She smiles all cute and says "Hi. (pause) MOM-MEEE. Potty?" I can lock the door but that's a temper tantrum waiting to happen so I don't bother...I just enjoy the 45 seconds of peace I sometimes get before she tracks me down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-knocking-on-the-bathroom-door#post-2228275 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 21:39:38 +0000 FannyMae 2228275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if dad is missing, where else will he be but in the toilet doing his business for the next half hour?? my DD just sits there knocking and repeating DAAAAD til he's done hahaha fine with me, thats half an hour I can focus on something else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-knocking-on-the-bathroom-door#post-2228273 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 21:38:24 +0000 blackbird 2228273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, the bathroom is a group effort </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-knocking-on-the-bathroom-door#post-2228268 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 21:37:07 +0000 jhd 2228268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO seems to always look for me in the bathroom if he can't find me. I was actually in the bedroom yesterday and came out to find him banging on the closed bathroom door crying. ;) He's 14 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-knocking-on-the-bathroom-door#post-2228251 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 21:27:29 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2228251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter knows that she's not allowed in mommy's bathroom (and has the run of the hallway bathroom!) but she insists on turning the light on and closing the door for me (and sometimes dh and even grandma!) Sometimes she will stand outside the door waiting for me to be done, sometimes she'll leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-knocking-on-the-bathroom-door#post-2228248 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 21:24:20 +0000 regberadaisy 2228248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: haha my 3 year old has taken to opening the door, coming in and sitting down on her stool and waits for me to finish. *facepalm* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-knocking-on-the-bathroom-door#post-2228245 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 21:19:50 +0000 Truth Bombs 2228245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wait... Your kids knock? Consider yourself lucky!! Mine just waltzes right in, or if I lock it, she throws herself at the door in misery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-knocking-on-the-bathroom-door#post-2228244 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 21:16:41 +0000 hilsy85 2228244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember the last time I was in the bathroom in peace while LO was awake...he is usually right in there with me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-knocking-on-the-bathroom-door#post-2228240 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 21:06:26 +0000 .twist. 2228240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L knocks and goes "maaaaaammmyyyy" "where aaaaaaare yoooou?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-knocking-on-the-bathroom-door#post-2228239 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 21:05:45 +0000 regberadaisy 2228239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha absolutely. My daughter just opens the door when she needs to throw something out or wash her hands. Sigh.</p> <p>ETA: We have a bathroom right off our family room which is where we all usually hang out. I use that bathroom the most so I can keep an eye on them when it's just me at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-knocking-on-the-bathroom-door#post-2228233 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 21:00:59 +0000 mrbee 2228233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is this a thing that all kids do, or just mine? If the kids notice that I'm missing in the evening, they will track me down to the bathroom and start knocking on the door. Sometimes I will go in the bathroom because I just want a moment's peace, but I've learned the hard way that it's not possible to be left alone until the kids are asleep!</p> <p>Do your kids track you down when you're in the bathroom? </p>
