Yesterday, I talked about the monster… the bunk beds. But today, I’m realizing that there are quite a few untamed beasts in our households, and one that might need a shield to defeat is the dreaded bathroom!
Need the conquer the bathroom beast? Your knight and shining armor should be able to help!
So, bunk beds definitely initiate the theme of sharing space and let me tell you- I don’t have to preach it to all the women out there for us to know that sharing a bathroom with a husband, or even another person in general, is a whole different ball game!
My parents had two separate bathrooms when I was growing up. Mom and I could toss anything and everything we needed in our bathroom and most likely share all that was in the drawers.
My dad and my brothers all shared a bathroom so it worked out well. BUT relating back to college days even… sharing one bathroom with 4 women is a hard task to master.
So how do I effectively share space? I don’t. :+)
I establish space territory. I am sort of a control freak, so I keep it plain and simple. If we are sharing something, we keep it on even grounds, and if not, you get one side of the sink and I will get the other. You get one ledge of the shower to place your stuff on and I will get the other- again, unless we use mutual shampoos and conditioners. You get the idea.
It’s different for everyone though. Sharing a bathroom is like creating a relationship all over again. You establish boundaries, respect each others things and find a way of making a routine compatible for the three of you- three, including the bathroom. But don’t let the beast overtake you and your partner.
I would never wish a battle of this beast on anyone, but if you find a way to make sharing space work for you, it will keep you from ending up like these two when they first moved in together.
So, prepare a plan of action with your partner. With a damsel, a man with a shield and a beast of a bathroom ready to be conquered, you should be just fine!
Don't distress damsel! You can help your knight conquer it!
I have a silly sense of humor and find awkward stories to be some of my favorites. Anyone have any awkward bathroom encounters or stories they would like to share?!? I’m all ears.
