aren't ya glad i shared?

let it be known... i have no shame. i pee while on the phone, i burp loudly, i pick my seat. i also pee with the door open and this irritates the hell out of my husband. today, as i was taking a whiz with the door wide open, i wondered to myself "how did i get this way?" i wasn't always this way. then it hit me, it's because i gave birth. once you give birth, you really don't give a crap about things like "peeing with the door open" because nothing is as degrading as giving birth. legs spread wide open with a room full of strangers looking on, some of them , sticking their hands up your twat!

i remember when i went for my 6 week check up after having my first son. i brought my six week old baby with me, so i knew it was going to be great fun! the nurse called me into the room, told me to get naked and put on the gown. i do what she says, and lay on the table. andrew starts crying. SHIT. anyone who's breastfed knows what happens when the baby starts crying. milk starts "flowing" but more like "squirting". so, i'm on the table with the gown on and the milk starts squirting out and dripping down my sides. i'm mortified and embarrassed. i pull the gown off, pick andrew up, lay on my side and let him start sucking away. now the milk is SQUIRTING out of the other boob, tittymilk in the air! on my face! on the floor! the doctor walks in. hello, doctor, meet my tittymilk! she doesn't say a word, spreads the legs wide open and starts checkin me "down there". there i lay, a hand all up in my twat, a baby on one tit, the other one squirting tittymilk all over the damn room... KILL ME NOW! dignity "officially" stripped.

now you tell me, after an experience like that, why in the HELL would i care if my husband walks by and sees me taking a leak

LMAO! I hear ya. My hubby goes all secret ops when he has to go potty - doors lock, vent on - LIKE I CARE. I try to talk to him and you'd think it was the end of the world...needless to say 2 children later, I could give a rats ass who sees me...

you mean, you're SUPPOSED to CLOSE the door when you piss?

geez, no one ever told me that....

Posted by: jen at November 19, 2002 12:25 PM

that's what i'm talkin bout jen.. and jewdez, what the fuck is that about? mine does the same thing. and god forbid he runs out of toilet paper and i have to give him some. he just opens the door open enough so i can push the roll thru!

Posted by: yvonne at November 19, 2002 12:29 PM

the word twat is not used nearly enough, hehee.

Posted by: meegan at November 19, 2002 12:45 PM

*lol* meegan! you're right, now i feel it is my duty to remind people what a fucking great word that is...

Posted by: yvonne at November 19, 2002 12:54 PM

OMG.

As a single Mom who has breastfed ... I can't stop laughing now. Oh dear. The mental image! I'm cracking up!

Although I pee'd while on the phone before I had a baby. I blame it on my Mom. I mean, aren't you supposed to blame everything on your parents?

Have you seen those "nursing tents" you can purchase from baby magazines? They actually have poles that you attach to your shoulders and then drape this cloth thing over it... for discreet nursing in public. Probably a man who won't pee with the door open came up with that idea. I think I could take my shirt off completely and be more discreet than wearing a damn tent.

Bottle-feeding at your six-weeks appointment is no more elegant. Mattie ripped my gown to shreds. By the time the doctor came in I looked like I was wearing a napkin.

We're all a bunch of phone pissers.

Oh yeah-scott dies if i hear him take a crap. he cant do it. even if the monkey is outside the door-he freezes. I imagine him in there with a turtle head and his sphincter is frozen-cant even pinch it off. poor guy hehehehehe. Not me-i will tell my birthing and breastfeeding stories to anyone willing to hear.

Cell phones and cordless phones certainly make it easier to pee while talking on the phone! Without giving it much thought I picked up my cordless to call for pizza and realized I had to "go" and was sitting on the potty when the pizza guy answered. I wonder if he knew...

Posted by: daintily dirty at November 19, 2002 03:31 PM

waiiitasec here, jennypoo. i think that we all agree that peeing w/ the door open is no biggie... but droppin a load? heyallll NO!

and yvonne? that is the funniest thing i've read all frickin week!

Posted by: mikey at November 19, 2002 03:55 PM

If you close your legs while you pee it doesn't make so much noise, ya know? You just have to wait to flush until you're off the phone....

I lost all modesty when I had children. After having several different pimply-faced interns come by to "check" you- none of whom you've ever seen before in your entire life- and after you've had multiple nurses practically shove thier upper torsos up your vagina- you can spread your legs for almost anyone.

Posted by: lucy at November 19, 2002 04:32 PM

mikey, you ought to know better than to get in the middle of this. run. run now.

Posted by: dick at November 19, 2002 04:52 PM

Buahhahahaa! (wiping tears from eyes) I needed that. Funniest thing I have read in awhile and ain't it the truth... on all counts.

Posted by: Heather at November 19, 2002 05:11 PM

Well...some people do have bathroom issues! Long story on my part...that I won't share with you now. But trust me....if your husband wants you to close the door when you "go"....it's not about you. Some people just don't like that whole bathroom thing and think it should be private (and they usually have reasons)....they don't want to see it....I don't want to see it. Close the door for his sake....not for yours. It's a small thing to do...but if there are bathroom issues, it means a lot!

Posted by: DogsDon'tPurr at November 19, 2002 10:05 PM

Yvonne, you forgot to mention the first part that gets you started on that road to hell...the delivery room. With my first kid you could hear me yelling: "Excuse the fuck outta me! But, who the hell said we could hold court in this place and who are all these people????" And, then..the capper...I was the ONLY breastfeeding mom in the whole damn hospital when I had my daughter and Dr. Mom (she used to be on the "Home Show") was leading med students through the hospital. She asked if they could watch me breastfeed. At that point I didn't care. I whipped the girls out, got the one nip hard for the baby and threw her on. (She wouldn't latch on without it being erect, the little shit)

Girl, that's twice in two days you've made me laugh so friggin' hard I had tears streaming... Get your ass out here already!

Posted by: robyn at November 19, 2002 11:41 PM

You make childbirth sound so appealing... heh

Posted by: pie at November 20, 2002 04:47 AM

That's reason #2229 why I NEVER EVER want to have children. My dignity is all I have. Oh wait.....

Posted by: Nicole at November 20, 2002 06:04 AM

I should know better than to jump in on this - but what the hell - no guts, no glory.

I don't know what it is, but I just don't want to watch a woman - or a man - taking care of his/her bodily functions. Particularly #2. Taking a leak is OK, especially outdoors. I've waved my wand in the wind numerous times in mixed company, and have laughed as my normally poised and sweet wife tried to crouch gracefully in the bushes. But the bathroom? No way Jose!

I might also add that I have never been close to the birthing process. Clean em up and then bring them to me in a blankie. Go ahead - fire away - I can take it.

Your story is a hoot.

Well ok I admit it, I do pee while on the phone but have to put my finger over the little talk hole. And don't even think of asking about flushing the toilet, I do it and run outside the door into the other bathroom to wash my hands.

Even after having Jeremy I can't bear to "take a crap" with the door open let alone unlocked and my husband Chris hates the fact that I have to. He's so open about it.

And oh my god, I can't believe you used "twat" that is such an ugly word. It's just like "c**t"

Posted by: Tricialicous at November 20, 2002 11:00 AM

ya think? twat is the only word for my womanhood doesn't make me cringe. i even hate vagina.

Posted by: yvonne at November 20, 2002 11:07 AM

It is scary how much you and my wife are alike. When we first starting dating she wouldn't even let me see her naked. She would take all the bedsheets with her to the bathroom. Then she had kids. Now I have to beg her to close the door, light a match, or give the fan some love.

Personally, as a husband, I don't do the stealth thing. I personally don't care who knows when I go. I mean just yesterday I was in my hotel bathroom talking to one of my colleagues while dropping the kids off at the pool.

Like I care...

Posted by: popcorn at November 20, 2002 01:10 PM

I totally dig twat and c(un)t as opposed to "vagina" and pussy...

Posted by: jewdez at November 21, 2002 09:00 AM

Oh hell. I'm in for a real treat aren't I? I can't wait till I start peeing with the door open!!

Posted by: Rach at November 22, 2002 11:21 PM

heehee... he said *dropping the kids off at the pool*.... omg.

I know this is an old post, but I keep coming back to it - this is my favorite post EVER.

About Y
My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 15 year old son, a 11 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
