Toilet troubles and skids--what's the deal??

Last In Line's picture

Last night we had the skids. Most of the night was fine, they mostly stayed quiet and in their rooms, although there were 3 visits to our bedroom without knocking (DH has no problem with this, I hate it.).

I decided I would take a Benadryl and have a good nights sleep because I have a LOT to get done today...like check out all my places to vent.

Around 11 I was getting good and sleepy, DH had fallen asleep on the couch, and SD9 barges in the bedroom and stands there looking at DH. Then she glances at me and runs out of the room like she was on fire. DH wakes up because she runs like a lumbering dino, and says "did you need something baby?" She says "yes, the toilet is stopped up". These skids stop up the damn toilet almost every time they are here. I don't know what they do to it but UGH

He gets up and goes in there, then comes and gets me..."do we have any old towels? The toilet is overflowing and there's turd water everywhere". ARGH! This is an UPSTAIRS bathroom, so this has potential to be a major problem. He had to stay up way late waiting for the water in the toilet to drop so he could plunge. On the bright side, he cleaned it all up once I provided him with old towels and the right stuff to clean it with.

Why does it seem like so many of us have these skid bathroom type problems? My bio kids just did not do this stuff. They aren't perfect by any means, but after about age 3 they knew how to properly wipe, flush, etc.

I guess because DH doesn't see it as an issue, even though I have repeatedly told him it bothers me.

We don't have sex when the skids are here. Another thing I have brought up to him as something that causes resentment on my end and dislike of his children being in our home. I have even gone so far as to ask WHY he was ok having sex with his ex when they had kids in the home but not me, am I not good enough, and he doesn't really have an answer for that.

I'm not one to just walk around naked, and because of the way the bedroom/master bath/closet are set up, it's unlikely I'd be just hanging out naked. I suppose I could, but I think I'd be mortified, and I really don't want to have to deal with BM if she got the report about seeing me naked.

Yes, I'm very non-confrontational most of the time.

No. No skids in YOUR room. We have master suite too and I made it clear no skids in that room unless permission is given. DP is sliding but I'm damn well not. It's adult space. Your house. Stand up for yourself.

I have toilet issues and hygiene too. I don't get it either. The hygiene thing and skids is widespread and god knows why. Personally I let go of all hygiene thing BUT for toilet.
