It's my potty and I'll cry if I want to...

Okay, this blog entry will be short and sweet - akin to the amount of time I'm allowed to myself each day.

As in, when I'm going to the bathroom.

As in, even that is no longer sacrosanct (post-kids-who-can-walk).

As in, chronic bathroomus interruptus.

I want to hear from all you parents out there.

Is anyone else fed up with this?

Any suggestions? Thoughts?

Is nothing sacred?

OK, I think it was the time that it was that time of the month and my then 2.5 year old son walked in and asked all sorts of embarrassing (hilarious -- I told myself at the time) questions, that I began the Privacy rule. Sometimes, I told him, everyone needs a little privacy. Please shut the door. It has not always worked, but it planted the concept in his head . . . and apparently my daughter's too. Just today she and I were in the bathroom together to brush out her bedhead when her brother attempted to charge thru the door. Practically slamming it in his face, she loudly and emphatically pronounced "PWIVACY!"

C! Thanks for weighing in - was waiting for your shout out! Are you working on your treatise against party favors yet? I want it for Coast Kids!

P.S. I want some PWIVACY! How do I get it!

Don't even need it 'til January! I want it to be funny, tongue-in-cheek "position paper" recommending a ban on party favors. Can even use legalese to step up the humor or make it a true op-ed! Maybe 500 words?
