So this is a bit of a weird situation but basically I (18F) live in a house with 5 other grown men (we're a family of 8 in total including me) and my room is weirdly built so we haven't been able to install a door to my room and there's a bathroom.
So since there's so many people in this house and only two indoor bathrooms and one outdoor bathroom in the garage, when people get too impatient to use the main bathroom or have an "emergency" then they decide to barge into my room unannounced and use the bathroom and leave a nasty stench. I don't mind the two other women barging in my room because well... we're women. While regardless I'm still a bit annoyed they come into my room unannounced it doesn't make me uncomfortable. However, my issue is with the grown men. I am uncomfortable with them in my room; I change my clothes in here and well... do other things that I want to do in complete privacy such as my makeup or sometimes I do karaoke for fun.
I have said that I do not want anyone besides the women coming into my room to use the bathroom and I suggested they use the bathroom in the garage if there's an emergency (this was probably years ago btw). Three out of the five men have respected my wish and have given me the privacy that everyone gets to enjoy in their own rooms. However there are two that completely disregard my wishes and have told me "I have emergencies I need to go" and "so what you want a private bathroom?" (one of them actually is sick so the emergencies make sense) and they come into my room for the bathroom a lot. The past 7 days those two have done this at least 4 times, the most recent time has been today at 3 am.... right when I'm about to sleep. And I'm currently still extremely pissed off hence why I'm still awake right now at 4 am lmao.
I understand that emergencies happen, but the other 3 just go outside whenever they have an emergency. I have repeatedly said that I do not want them in my room and I feel bad for making them go to the garage but they all literally have their own rooms and their own privacy. I'd relocate to a different room but I don't have another choice. I would never do this to them.
Honestly I don't know what to do in this situation. I almost want to get a door installed at this point and only allow the women to be able to enter, but that takes time and money. The two men clearly don't listen to my wishes after I've told them how it makes me feel so I can't solve this issue civilly. The comment about the "private bathroom" really got to me and I don't really know if I'm being incredibly unreasonable. Yes it sucks to have to go outside to use the bathroom in emergencies, but if another family member was in my situation and if I respected and loved them I would use the outdoor bathroom. Please offer honest opinions and advice.
TLDR: I have grown men barging into my room and despite my discomfort and suggestion they use the outdoor bathroom in case of emergency they still decide to disrespect my wishes.
Please wait...
