[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 273722, member: 2459"] OMG Marg....that's priceless! :rofl: I can't say that I have had to deal with this with my difficult child....his issues in the bathroom have been more laziness. But the wipes sound like a good idea. It's something different and also something that tends to clean a bit better. I know there are times when I could use wipes myself as the regular toilet paper just doesn't seem to cut it. Plus, if it's the scented kind, it may help at least a little on the odor if she doesn't get things completely. Something else...at 8 most kids are old enough to start helping with household chores if they haven't already. Maybe she could help soak her undies when there are "racing stripes" before they are thrown in the wash. If the feel and odor doesn't bother her, maybe the cleaning of the clothing would help her see what needs to be done. It may not work and if it does, BM may not follow through but at least it would be done in the "consistant" house. My son was 9 when he came to live with us (we adopted him from foster care) and I swear he was using the inside of the toilet lid for bank shots when he peed. Talking to him did nothing so everytime he did it, I made him clean the toilet and the surrounding area. A few times of that and he didn't do it anymore. Again...more laziness and uncaring on his part but it can't hurt to try something similar in your case. [/QUOTE]
