Shave in the bloody laundry room problem solved, while you’re guess or visitors used the bathroom. Without any interruption during your shaves, either in the morning or before you go to bed.

That won't work, kids or the other half always find a way to disturb you. The only real way that works is shave when nobody is around.

Tried that, the little rascals go and turn off the mains water supply and wait for me to raise my voice, get angry, then I open the door and they are laughing at me. Then silly me melts and gives them a cuddle, cannot win. In some ways I actually miss that now.

Don’t get married and you won’t have a problem or put up a sign on the door ‘Rack-off I’m shaving in PEACE’ can’t hear you, because, my ears are blocked with cotton or ear plugs.

6,8, and 9. Only reason they know how to do this as sometimes the local water supply has a melt down and I have to use the gravity feed rain water tanks. Oldest one taught the others.

Don’t get married and you won’t have a problem

Wise words.

Hmmm, sounds like they're overdue for the barrel method of child rearing: place child in barrel, feed scraps through the bung-hole. When child is 32 years old, decide whether or not to hammer the bung in.

I don't get asked to babysit very often...
