When I was a newlywed, my sil told me her girls go into the bathroom when she does. Which was horrifying enough to the 19 year old me. Then she told me one dd would say to her "you going to do the cloth mommy?"

Haha, my DD has known all about my bathroom processes for months already, I figure it's good chinuch for toilet training... I absolutely don't trust her outside alone, and I feel bad sticking her in the playpen for this at this age - she considers it like a punishment. Usually she either sits on the bath rug and reads a book, or "cleans" the bath toys with a spritz bottle of water. But yes, she narrates the whole thing, and you know what? I'm not embarrassed at all. I worry a little about the tznius aspect so I try to be a bit discreet, but what do I need to be ashamed of if she should happen to repeat her bathroom stories out of context to others? There's nothing inherently inappropriate about things like "Mommy big girl. Mommy make pishy on toilet. Mommy no diaper. Mommy wear panties." These are things everyone knows anyway, no? And she's a baby, for goodness sake, do people really expect her to understand etiquette?
they do say the way to toilet train a kid is by letting the girls watch mommy go and the boys watch daddy go but my husband absolutely refused when we were at that stage


I certainly don't blame him.
Yeah I don't know if I would do it on purpose like that. But when you're a mom alone with your very little one at home and you have to go and this is just how it happens, well, I just kind of accept it. I try to be modest when relevant but these are facts of life and the baby is still little enough that it's not totally inappropriate.


I hear you, and when my kids were little I didn't lock the door either, but for some reason it grosses me out thinking of it now. I remember one Erev Shabbos Chanuka when I was at work and dh told me later that he needed a shower after a haircut and he let ds cry in the exersaucer for the whole time. I was horrified--I guess when you have only one kid it breaks your heart more??? Today I would totally do the same.

I have a kiddie potty in the bathroom and my toddler "sits" on it when I go and she needs to come with me. Now that she's trained, sometimes she'll go "with" me. If they never see us go, how will they learn? (when I have my period no one is allowed with me. I usually find a distraction).

Do you ever let your child in when taking a bath or shower? I never did until I was home alone with just my baby for a few days. She was at a crying stage and loved the sound of a running bath. I brought a bouncy chair into the bathroom with me so that I could study and she could be calm and then later that night took a bath with her in the room She was actually watching me the entire time, I think trying to figure out what was going on.

my 2.5 year old ds throws a fit if I don't let him in.
lately though I've been explaining to him that he needs to wait outside.
he wouldn't hear it, so I just left the bathroom and said ok mommy is going to leave, and finally he was fine and even happy to wait outside till I was done - during the wait asking me through the door - mommy making? yeah? 'ninished? ok!

but one of the recent times that I couldn't make him leave and I need to desperately change my pad, I tried to turn my back to him so he wouldn't see and he kept trying to wedge his way in and see what I was hiding.
thankfully he didn't see the used pad cuz I quickly rolled it up and covered it but he was watching as I was putting on the new pad and he said - diaper mommy? ok good! (mothering me)
I gotta end this!

Toilets?
I dont let in. I dont discuss or allow talk of what I'm making or if I'm wearing underwear. Bh my child didnt even try saying such stuff in public!
