Obsessive exhaustion or exhaustive obsession?

So i just go for bath. Yeah a normal affair. The boys r playing with prem. Normal. No stress. I lock d bathroom door, and start having my bath when i hear Akshath saying kakka vadhdha. And i hear prem interrogating him instead of rushing him to the toilet. Doesnt he understand its s.o.s.?? And it has taken months of stress for me t achieve this. I open my mouth to shout (from inside the loo) and prem finally takes him. So he is sitting in d potty chair. Whew. And avyukth and prem are chatting. Ok so far. Akshath is chanting kakka vadhdha which is a good sign as the baby should probably be in breach now. Now i hear some laughter from avyukth and prem. Now what sort of a nonsense is this? Dont they understand how serious this business is? Isnt a baby trying to poo there?? More laughter  (and yes my breath is getting heavier). And now i hear akshath's voice too. Thats it. He's not going to poo anymore and prem asks "hey hes taking forever, shall i put his diapers on?". I want to shout its his fault and i keep calm. I ask him to decide. What?? Shouldnt he be made to pee? And i shout asking him to. So akshath is now sitting on the chair i guess with prem and avyukth cheering him to "fulla po". And there are claps. i close my eyes and wipe myself dry (what feels like an endlessly long and stressful bath) and thats when it hit me - had peed until the last drop?? Or had prem put his diapers on after the first jet? By the time i come out the party has shifted to the last room playing some games that Tarzan would enjoy. Wait a minute. Is avyukth sitting too much along the edge.

Heck. I am exhausted. And the over obsessive monster in me must die.

Cheers,
Hopie
