Um....I think he does it to have some space sometimes, but I'm like WTH are you doing in there?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-or-get-off-the-pot/page/2#post-703877 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 20:49:51 +0000 apis 703877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: This is the iPhone/iPad time breakdown in the bathroom:</p> <p>- do the necessary within about 45-90 seconds<br /> - 2 minutes on Gmail, deleting spam<br /> - 5 minutes on ESPN / other sports blogs, checking out the starting lineup for tonight's game<br /> - 5 minutes updating apps or fiddling with Settings/WiFi, because that stupid red circle is always there<br /> - 3 minutes on that game that we tried to finish on the subway but man, this level is tricky, aww, I died again?<br /> - 2-7 minutes on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Tumblr, or Reddit, because God forbid that I miss a picture of LOLcat<br /> - 1 minute on Hellobee checking DW's recent posts, you know, just in case<br /> - 3 minutes staring into space, vacantly<br /> - 30 seconds of "Yes, I know, I'm coming, hang on"</p> <p>Which totals around 23-30 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-or-get-off-the-pot/page/2#post-703829 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 20:26:20 +0000 mrsmenow 703829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Guess who spent 27 minutes on the john tonight,lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-or-get-off-the-pot/page/2#post-702661 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:03:57 +0000 betsyboop 702661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Uggh my DH too, he brings his iPad into the bathroom and will sit in there for 30 minutes playing games. wth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-or-get-off-the-pot/page/2#post-702625 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:55:59 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 702625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lmao!! I was going to post something like this today, too! I can't understand why it takes men so long to go to the bathroom. Maybe they just enjoy the chance to sit down, whereas women always sit so we don't see the need to spend any more time on it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-or-get-off-the-pot/page/2#post-702458 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:12:40 +0000 sorrycharlie 702458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't been able to really sit since I had LO. She has perfect timing and always cries when I sit down! it's a rushed affair here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-or-get-off-the-pot/page/2#post-702445 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:09:22 +0000 FauxBoho 702445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The days I get in and get out quickly I celebrate!

I swear i've been constipated since birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-or-get-off-the-pot/page/2#post-702256 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:15:25 +0000 mrsmenow 702256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emsmems: I wish this were the case, but he even takes this long on the weekends. Even if it were true, he gets home and we have 3 mouths to be fed, washed, and bathed so there really isn't time for that. and I work nights (7p-7a) so sometimes I need to begetting ready to leave . We do usually take time once everyone is to bed to just hang and touch base just the two of us. I do wonder how your friends found time for that right when they got home, our house is controlled chaos at hat point in the day... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-or-get-off-the-pot/page/2#post-702234 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:08:17 +0000 Emsmems 702234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: true! They have 2 kids and I'm not sure how they do it, but it's definitely a theory!!

DH not so much. Yesterday, he got the stomach bug, so it was kind of crazy. Late last night, I got it too. I also tend to be quick because baby needs tending to. I've found if I have to go and DH isn't around to help with the baby, the Bumbo and some toys lets me go to the bathroom easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-or-get-off-the-pot/page/2#post-702167 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 11:44:41 +0000 mrsjyw 702167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOLOLOL DH does it every day after work too, grabs his ipad!!! 15 min easy. I always yell at him to quickly finish to come spend QT with DS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-or-get-off-the-pot/page/2#post-702160 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 11:41:05 +0000 Emsmems 702160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: it sounds like your hubby is using the bathroom as decompression time. A friend who is a counselor told me that each spouse should have 15-30 min when they get home from work to decompress and get in the "home" mindset. No talking to anyone, just sit and zone out or play on your phone or whatever you need to do. It's better for your relationship!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-or-get-off-the-pot/page/2#post-702149 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 11:34:14 +0000 illumina 702149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread is hands down the funniest thing I've read all day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-or-get-off-the-pot#post-702145 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 11:32:42 +0000 pl0508 702145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It literally takes me the same amount of time as it does to pee. DH - at least 15 mins. I keep telling him he needs more fiber but now I'm wondering if he is just farting around (pun intended haha) in there </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-or-get-off-the-pot#post-702112 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 11:22:07 +0000 ladyfingers 702112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do this... On purpose ;) (only when DH is watching LO!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-or-get-off-the-pot#post-702036 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 11:04:35 +0000 Apex 702036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG. I thot this was something only my DH does!!! He sits in there forever playing on his phone/laptop or reading the paper and ends up with bad leg cramps. i usually have to yell at him to get up/come out.</p> <p>In on the other hand prefer not to linger. i just do it and get out. Time is too precious to waste away on the crapper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-or-get-off-the-pot#post-702032 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 11:03:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 702032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my husband as well!!! oh my gosh, haha I laughed out loud because it is the first thing he does and drives me nuts! </p>
