Re: Vent thread GO
(Anonymous) 2019-12-01 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)The only thing that bugs me about family living with me is that my nephews, while golden in every other way, every once in a while will just ... I dunno, either they forget to flush or they don't for fear of that their turd won't flush, or... it's some kind of wierd 6-year-old power play? I dunno. I mean, they do cover the mess with a shrowd of toilet paper, so I guess they get that it's gross, but not that that makes it way MORE likely to cause a plumbing problem. Anyhow it's DISGUSTING to enter the bathroom, lift the lid and see - and smell -this.
Now, I refuse to play poo police and find out which one of the kids is doing this and why or get them to stop (there is a LIMIT to aunty discipline and I draw the line at doo-doo, they are flat out and literally TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT) and my bro and his wife don't seem to get why it drives me crazy. It's all "Oh, sorry, kids you know". I mean, they deal with it when I bring it to their attention but ... yeah, they don't seem to care? Or be at all interested in teaching the kids not to do this? Is this some parent magic where you become immune to disgust at poop?
OMGWTF WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

(Anonymous) 2019-12-01 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)I was (still am) very sensitive to loud noises and our toilets were super loud. In addition to that, an older kid at school had convinced me that there were monsters living in the sewers and they could get into the pipes and come out of the toilet when you flushed.
Given all this, whenever I had to flush I'd pretty much run out of the bathroom as soon as the noise started. Occasionally, if it was late at night and my parents were sleeping, or if I was alone in that side of the house, I'd avoid flushing and just cover it with toilet paper.
Re: Vent thread GO
Maybe make it funny or silly 'i really hate it when there is a poo-gator in the bowl!'. Gross-out humor kids seem to enjoy.
Good luck!

Kids ARE gross, so very very gross. I really only ever liked my own kid, and the rest are just sticky, noisy germ-factories.
BUT - in this i blame the parents for not having some damn set rules about things. It's not going to destroy your kids ID or whatever if you make them flush the toilet every time, come *on*.

(Anonymous) 2019-12-02 12:47 am (UTC)(link)Yep! My little cousin, who's 14, is a demon child and my aunt and uncle refuse to believe that they have anything at all to do with his behavior. I mean, yeah, 14 year old boys are not exactly the most well behaved to begin with, but he has no rules or consequences...I don't know what they expect to happen when they let him get away with everything.
Re: Vent thread GO
And this is the kind of thing that makes me side-eye people who complain about 'kids these days' who don't know how to (insert some task here: iron a shirt, change a tire, whatever).
The only reason they can't do that stuff is because *you didn't teach them*, so it's all on you guys. Unless you think *you* were magically born with the ability to balance a checkbook.
So frustrating.
