Wife left puzzled as husband spends hours sitting on toilet every day

A mum has taken to popular internet forum Mumsnet to complain about her husband, who spends hours on the loo every day.

The mum doesn't suggest that the man has a medical reason to be there, and in fact may just be using his time on the toilet to avoid responsibilities.

While it's something that she says 'he has always done' she is now getting irked by the daily routine, especially given there is a little one to take care of.

The anonymous mum said: "Morning routine I end up having to dress myself, my [daughter], feed the cats and dog, prepare breakfast and put together lunch things all while [the partner] is sat on the toilet.

"Then he spends another half hour in there every evening. He's actually been in there almost an hour this evening because he was having a shower too.

"He has always been like this, but now we have a child it makes me mad."

One commenter said "Is he reading on the loo? And waiting for the magic fairies to have done all the chores? Tell him to get up half an hour earlier and help out."

Another said: "Right, well ruling out any actual physical issue, he's obviously just using it as a more acceptable option than sitting on the sofa with a mug of tea in his hand while you do everything."

They added: "I can only suggest that you beat him to it one morning."

A third agreed with this saying: "You need to spend an hour on the toilet. Perhaps at the weekend when he’s not working, leaving him with the baby. See what he thinks then."

The post was made on the AIBU (Am I Being Unreasonable) forum, and for the most part commenters think that the mum has every right to be annoyed if the man is spending ages in the toilet without a medical excuse to do so.
