[QUOTE="JKF, post: 496345, member: 12470"] Thank you so much for all of your replies! Today is a new day and I am calm (for now) and looking for ways to figure this all out. I like a lot of the suggestions here. Such as asking if he wants me to wipe him (he said NO WAY) or standing in there until he wipes (again NO WAY). I explained to him that not wiping is disgusting and will cause him to itch and also cause him to smell bad. I told him people can smell others who don't wipe and does he want his friends to smell that. That seemed to sink in and he said no...he doesn't want to smell. This morning when he went I reminded him of proper bathroom behavior. He actually put the seat down and flushed when he was finished so that was a start. I have actually cut down on yelling at him a lot. #1 because it's not effective and #2 because I have been getting chest pains every time I start yelling. So, I've been trying to stay calm and deal with things but sometimes it's so hard. I know a lot of times he has no control over his actions but other times he's just lazy and in a rush to get back to whatever he was doing. That's when I get upset and frustrated! The fact that he decided not to wipe his butt so he could get back to watching the end of a movie? Sorry but that doesn't cut it with me! I'm going to buy some flushable wipes today and continue to remind him about appropriate bathroom behavior. I hope that it will start to sink in if I stay calm and consistent with him! Thanks again for all of your suggestions and replies! I appreciate it more than you know!!! [/QUOTE]
