Bathroom issues

January 1, 2002

Regarding bathroom issues, just wanted to add my 2 cents that

everyone is different when it comes to the " bathroom " or modesty,

things like that.

Luckily we live close to all our schools here, practically within

walking distance really. None of my kids will poop at school. I

can't count the number of times that one of my kids has checked out

of school with an " upset stomach " just to come home and use the

bathroom and then go back. Since we live with grandma, she's gone to

get them and take them back. It's not a regular thing but my oldest

(16) has done it far more than the others. (Actually I think the only

other times was twice and once.)

Heck, I never " taught " them, but I'm like that myself; don't do

anything but pee if I'm not at home. And for whoever

mentioned " camp " I can remember WAY BACK to girl scouts camp. I'd be

constipated by the time the camp out was over as I wouldn't go poop

in the outhouses either.

And having been in the bathrooms at some of their schools, I'm

surprised they'll pee. Especially the boys' bathroom where some miss

the commode/urinal (on purpose according to my oldest) - the stench

is terrible at times. Plus, 5th/6th grade was around the time each

of my kids were hearing the " if you look at someone, you're gay " bit

in the restroom).

(OK, when the kids were younger and at school functions, I HAD to go

in the restroom with them, that's how I know about the boys! And in

middle school I looked in one during some event as I couldn't believe

it when Rand said there were no stall doors tho they have them now.

Plus when my oldest was in 8th grade, he slipped in the restroom and

fell in " water/pee " puddle and was actually SOAKED. One nice teacher

let him call me at work for a change of clothes after he'd put on his

PE clothes; the stench of those clothes was terrible!)
