Mum branded 'disgusting' after disclosing shower habit she thought was completely normal – The Mirror
The woman says she has always done it, that it’s environmentally friendly and that she thought everyone did it and that it was completely normal
It can be completely baffling when we discover something we've done for years, something we assumed everyone did, isn't actually 'normal'.
There's always that awkward moment when you drop it into conversation and everyone stares at you as if you've completely lost the plot. One mum found herself in this position when she was explaining something she does in the shower to her husband.
He dubbed it 'disgusting', but she's convinced everyone does it. And it turns out they're not the only ones who can't agree on it – and her admission has started a huge debate online. The woman shared her story on Mumsnet to see what other parents thought.
She wrote: "Dh [darling husband] thinks it's disgusting. I think it's fine. The warm water makes me need a wee and I'm not going to get out, soak the floor, dry off and all that. It's environmentally friendly as less toilet flushing. The water washes the wee away and it's only wee. I thought everyone did it occasionally."
Other parents were horrified by her admission. One wrote: "Why can't you just go before you get in the shower?? Sorry but I think it is disgusting!" Another added: "Nope. Grim behaviour. I wouldn't be impressed if my dh did it." One woman replied: "I can always tell when someone is a shower p*****. Their shower cubicle and bathroom tends to stink of piss in the same way a urinal does (sorry, but it does.) The only place any pee should be going is down a toilet."
But some didn't see what the issue is, and admitted they also do it. One said: "I can't really see what's actually disgusting about it, it's only wee, it washes away immediately and then you have a wash so no danger (shock horrible) of any traces of urine left on your body!" Another replied: "Peeing in the shower is eco friendly. Our loo uses 10 litres of water for a flush, that’s 5 days drinking water. As for it being disgusting, in what way? How? How can your own wee bring washed down the drain be disgusting."
