Did your grandparents stop you from peeing at night?
I am aware that this may sound quite mad but I’m wondering if this happened to anyone else (Millennials?) growing up.
My best mate and I have similar experiences about our grandparents not letting us use the toilet at night. My Grandad once stayed at mine to look after me while my Mum was away and I went to go and wee at 1am; I had to pass his bedroom to go to the upstairs loo and he came charging out of his bedroom shouting ‘I’m not having this,’ and chased me back to me room, I eventually peed in an empty cocktail shaker in my room and threw it out the window! I think I was 13 at the time?
My best mate was much younger when she had a similar experience (maybe 8 or 9) and when she stayed with her Grandparents she and her cousins shared a room, her mum and aunty shared a room and obvs the grandparents had their own room. If ANYONE needed the toilet in the night (including the mum and aunty) they had to CREEP down the hall and try and time their steps to coincide with the grandparents’ snores. The grandma was a really light sleeper and if she heard anyone try and creep to the loo she would cry out, ‘WHO’S THERE’ and people would either a) risk it all and run to the toilet or b) creep back to their bedroom and then try again in 15-20 minutes.
I was just wondering if this is common? Did anyone else’s grandparents have this major issue with using people using the loo after going to bed?
