Thanks alpha: O see it the same way, the facts are the facts, thats the body we were given...not a big deal, boys are boys and girls are girls. I am the same with the age as well, usually around 5 or so some kids tend to ask for privacy, its always given...same with me...I NEVER close the door all the way, when I go potty, I go as quick as I can and the way I look at it is, if a 1 or 2 yr old wants to mosey in to see me in the potty it is "less chance" for them to get into something or get hurt while I am "busy", I also keep the door open to keep a better control on them, with the door cracked, I can hear better what is being said or done, not to mention with the door cracked, all they have to do is puch it open if there is an emergency. Kids also learn by example....little ones see you (descretely) on the pot they get ideas!!!! thats just my crazy take! Very "open" house here...nothing to be ashamed of!!! family & dck
