While browsing TheNest.com boards this week, I was surprised to see how many married Nesties copped to peeing with the door open in their homes. While several explained they were parents of young children and feared a toddler meltdown if the door were closed, others said it was just a habit. Just in case you don't remember my stance on such things, allow me to refresh your memory with a post I wrote about having a fart-free marriage. Though many of you are sure to comment that I'm an uptight prude who doesn't understand that marriage means sharing everything, surprise: I'm against it. To me, happiness is separate bathrooms. Yes, I realize that this is not always possible (listen, before we bought this house, Jack and I never lived in a space bigger than 750 square feet), but if your home allows for this level of privacy, why on Earth wouldn't you take advantage of it?
