    You let your kid use TP? What do you do with all your junk mail?

    No! They use like a roll per visit!

    But how do you not get caught? Do they not invade your bathroom time!? I don't think I've gone alone since 2001.

    As long as you don't have them using dried corn cobs and sand paper.

    Cheap toilet paper might as well be sandpaper! So the answer is yes

    After the 2012 apocalypse there will be no toilet paper, so you can just gradually phase it out all all together. You're only preparing them for the future, and THAT is the mark of a good parent.

    When I was little, we lived in the mountains and had no electricity or running water... or toilet paper.

    We peed and pooped outside and, well, rocks and leaves did the cleanup.







    (I hope no one was eating when they read that)

    I guess I'll save that salad for later. Bonus is that I have cookies now cause I tossed them. :laugh: :laugh:

    She is now grossed out by naked mommy parts (she's 12), so I get all the alone time I want. I hide them with the tampons...she hasn't started her period yet, but has a stash of pads...she won't even open the tampon cupboard...too gross

    We all wreck our kids in our own special ways. You are just wreaking your havoc on their bottoms...better than their little psyches. :flowerforyou:

    ...for buying the cheap cardboard toilet paper for my kid and hiding the Charmin Extra Soft in a secret spot so she can't use it.?

    Nope. This is the same as me buying my kids the generic cereal and putting it in a plastic container and then buying myself the good, brand name stuff! :-)

    Heck no. I hide everything from my kids. All the expensive chocolate is hidden, all the 'good' almond butter is hidden, all the Viva papertowels are hidden. The good stuff only comes out when grown people need it... not for the young ones to waste. They dont really know the difference anyways

    If you have to ask, then yes... yes you are.

    This.

    Kids tend to use too much and the thicker the tissue, the more times the parent ends up plunging the toilet later.

    I have no problem hiding things from kids that they will overindulge in. Like sweets.

    You ask about toilet paper, I use to hide the snack cakes, from everyone. To make this worse, when I was pregnet & wanted one, I would go get one from my stash and come out and eat it. If my husband or daughter asked I would tell them it was the last one...IT NEVER WAS. I should have felt bad...but the baby made me do it.

    I'm proud to say I don't do it anymore...I avoid the snack cake isle like it has disease. :)

    The worst I ever did was tell my daughter when she was really little that the candy in the checkout lane was dogfood so she wouldn't ask me for it EVERY time we went to the store. It worked till she figured out what candy was and looked like. We still laugh about it to this day.
