toilet when SHE needs to use them? Assuming there was only one available toilet at the time.

LOL, I know, i know - this is a really an ODD question but i notice this happening with a friend of mine with her mum (and mind you, my friend is 28) at this hotel they were staying at. Let me give you an example:

My friend goes into the toilet, and it's barely 5 minutes when the mom comes in from wherever, needing to go and she slams the door

'Oi, honey, HURRY UP, I need to GO!'

My friend says, 'A minute, mom'

and barely ten seconds passes when the mom slams at the door again,

My friend goes all quiet bec obviously she isn't done.

Another ten seconds, bang... bang...'Honey! Get out! I need to GO! NOW!'

Well, my friend was here for a family gathering, and so two of her other aunts were here as well with their kids, ages 8 through 28 also, at the same hotel and throughout the one week they were here, this pattern was repeated throughout this family: the parent always demanded the perogative.

I have never seen anything like this before. I'm not sure if it's because the hotel rooms have only one toilet. To be quite honest, I find this a bit distressing. What do you think?

Thanks hun !


I am working hard on getting back on track. I go to therapy once a week and I have learned to keep the neg. people away from me. I need to get healthy for ME and only ME ! Your right, it's hard ( tears do happen ) but I have to find Robin.


Just keep in mind, not every person who yells at a child to get out of the bathroom is abusive, there could be other factors involved. One thing I have learned is not to jump to conclusions about people.
