Both of our girls have been potty trained for several years now- probably more like half of their short lives. Most of the time I just don't even think about them going to the bathroom and trust them to do what they need to do when they need to do it.
Unfortunately this trust (read: lack of adult supervision) has resulted in an epic battle of wills in our household. My will that is.
I am not particularly picky about the type of toilet paper I buy but others, who shall remain nameless, tend more toward the "cushy" side. This particular quirk I gave into. It was a battle I didn't feel, at the time, worth fighting. So I bought the expensive stuff (on sale of course, I'm not that crazy!). However, the issue now lies in the sheer volume of toilet paper the girls have been going through.
An entire roll in less than three days?? Even I don't pee that much.
Dang it, that fancy toilet paper worth it's weight in gold- you're wasting it!
Three squares is more than enough.
How many squares do you think you need? Your butt is tiny!
Please, for the love, stop clogging the toilet using half a roll of toilet paper!
This particular rant has been uttered by me several times in pure frustration and in a
Because above all I hate wasting. Money, time, whatever it may be. I know it is a losing battle for now but maybe one day the connection will sink in.
That's a battle at my house too. Only, my son has been potty trained less than a year. He also thinks it's really cool to dump out ENTIRE bottles of shampoo on the bathroom floor, not fun. I almost wish he was still in diapers so I could keep him form wasting. UGH!
ReplyDeleteI keep telling you - make them use the cheap toilet paper. It's really not that hard - I swear.
ReplyDeletei can relate! My 14!!! year old daughter wastes TP like crazy. In a household of 4, we sometimes go through a roll per DAY ! ugh
