This Is a jff....btw Tmi

We were on vacation and all down by the hotel pool when I announced I was running up to the room to get sunblock. Well my then 10 yr old jumped up to come with me (he needed to take advantage of the empty hotel room to take care of business.) So when he came out he tells me he had the biggest poop ever and it wouldn't flush down so he had to use his toothbrush! I was like, oh no! He says, no mom, it's okay I used the handle part! Like we were going to go ahead and actually let him use that toothbrush anymore! Hahahahaha.

We were forced to move one year when I was a senior in high school. Our landlord's daughter's fiance was arrested, and she had no where else to go so they bought her a trailer. WE (my dad and 4 kids) were on the property with the only hook-ups, so they took our spot for her. The only place we had to go was the cabin my great-grandpa had built in the mountains. We didn't have running water, let alone a toilet. We DID have the old outhouse though! (we used this cabin for years when we went camping, along with my dad's friends and others in our family... so it was used fairly often.) It was a 2-seater. One night my brothers both had to 'go' at the same time. They figured, 2 holes, 2 butts, why not? Their combined weight was too much for the seat, and it snapped in the middle. Both of them landed in several years worth of built up poo and nasty TP. What was even better was that it had been a really wet week, so it was pretty much a poo-poo mud pit about 3 feet deep... With no running water to wash with... so they high-tailed it to the creek covered in nasty and jumped in. lol.

Ok, I hope I don't gross anybody.
My mom told me that my dad once poop him self in the bed because he was dreaming that he was having a baby, lol.

Old, but when I was 11 we bought an old farmhouse on the other side of the state from where I grew up. The week my dad went out to gut and rebuild the bathroom my parents decided was going to be a family trip. (Why anyone thought it was a good idea to have a man, woman, and three girls in a house for a week with NO bathroom, I have no idea.) We had a Costco-size ravioli can in the wood shed, back room, which had a crooked door you could kind of close. We buried whatever we left in the can. Once a day or every other day we went into town for "coffee," which meant we could use a real toilet. Needless to say, we buried a lot of solid waste anyway. :)

Whenever the power was out at the farmhouse, one of us would have to hike to the creek with a 5 gallon bucket to fill with creek water for flushing the toilet. If the town had a scheduled power outage (for work or something--small town) one of us would fill the bucket the night before.

Whenever we went deer hunting, my dad would set up the "Potty Tent." His parents had one of those ancient beach tents with alternating stripes that people in old movies run into and change in on the beach. He had a wood bench with a rough hole cut in it. The youngest able-bodied "hunter" always got the job of digging the hole under the bench and then filling it in when we packed up. If we were lucky, my dad remembered to bring an old seat so we didn't have to sit on the splintered hole.

Worst non-bathroom bathroom experience for me was having to go desperately on the rocky side of a mountain pass as almost the only girl in a group of backpackers (I was probably 15 or so, most of the guys were younger, too), it was a bad time of the month (why I was backpacking anyway, I have no idea, unless I didn't think that would make a good excuse when I'd planned on the trip for a while), and all I could find was a low scrubby bush that covered what counted.

This will be really funny pretty soon!

I had about the same experience you did when I was living in my apartment a few years back. I had toilet problems all the time there and they could never get it to stay working. Finally it got to the point where it wouldn't plunge and the maintenance guy couldn't plunge it either. So it was about 4 days with a stopped up toilet before they could take it apart and finally get it fixed. Thank goodness it was on a weekday. I was able to go at work and I only had to pee at home. My son was still in diapers, so thank goodness I didn't have to worry about him.

I'm knocking on wood here, but I haven't had any toilet problems in my house and hopefully won't have anything as bad as the apartment.

Thankfully we haven't had any really bad toilet issues, yet!

We did have one. My daughter was still somewhat potty training, and she ran upstairs to the bathroom. I was downstairs at my computer. I heard her flush, and she came back downstairs. Then maybe a minute later, she was going back upstairs. All of a sudden she was standing in the hall at the top of the stairs right outside the bathroom just screaming!! "My bathroom! My bathroom!!" LOL She was horrified! I ran up there to find the bathroom floor flooded & the toilet running. We had a step stool in front of the sink for her to wash her hands/brush teeth. And another step stool in front of the toilet for her. I had to step from step stool to step stool to get to the toilet & turn off the water! LOL Then had to use every towel we had to clean up the floor. Thankfully all she had done was used too much toilet paper!

She was scared to use that toilet for a while. Thankfully we had a second bathroom!

When we were in our last apartment and while my husband was home, we would go for walks around the college campus nearby. We'd take the stroller & let our daughter walk as much as she wanted, and then she could ride in the stroller (and hopefully fall asleep!). Well one night we were walking & she decides she needs to go potty. Well of course we weren't near anywhere she could run inside and use a restroom. We were out by some ball fields. So, we decided all we could do was let her go in the grass. I helped her pull her pants down, and then held her so she could "squat". Well, a lot of good that did, she peed on her pants anyways!! LOL We had to just take them off of her & let her ride in the stroller with a blanket over her. After that we brought along her little portable potty!

And of course there was the time I don't think she was walking yet. We went out to eat, and forgot to pack an extra change of clothes for her. Well early on in the dinner, she has a dirty diaper! Ohhh and not just a dirty diaper, it exploded up her back & all over her clothes!! I think all I had for her was a jacket... so she was stuck with a diaper & a jacket!

Ah, man. Big hugs! So been there, done that.

We had a similar incident with our toilet about 5 years ago. The kids had flushed a little rubber ducky down it (among other things). The toddler had seen us "bury" my oldest sons aquatic frog down the toilet after it had died so then she decided that was the way to go for the "dead" ducky. We tried to take care of it, and after getting the little things out, thought it was ok. It would work great and then clog again. The repair guy told us it was because the ducky was moving around and not always totally blocking. (We didn't know about the ducky until after the repair guy pulled it out for us.)

The way your toilet is acting (super slow, etc.) sounds exactly like ours. Guess what? The snake didn't work. They had to completely remove the toilet from the floor and take it outside to get the darn ducky out. I hope the snake works for you!

I know there are lots of stupid and funny things my children have done to our bathrooms (besides the ducky funeral) but can't think of anything else in particular right now. Sorry. :( The only thing running through my head is the look on my oldest daughters face when she decided to try peeing standing up. Outside. Sigh....

Here is a good idea to fix the toliet take it up off the floor see what is lodged take it out then reset the toliet.
About a month ago my lil gal was in the bathroom she took out a new bar of soap& flushed it down the toilet that nite I went pee & noticed it flush ok but it didn't drain fast hmm odd but didn't know at the time she flushed the bar of soap anyway that morning hubby as usual has his BM before off to work & it was clogged he tried to unclog it but after I looed into the trash there was an empty sopa box no new one in the shower so two & two togethere a bar of soap was flusdhed & stuck in the neck of the toilet hubby came home told him so he liftede up the toilet & there it was a new bar of soap..We did have to poop that day so I had to line a gallon of ice cream bucket to poo into we did this in the shower afterwards took it to the trash.Before then my hubby did a complete remodel of our bathroom we only have 1 bathroom in this 4 bedroom house but a cement shower down in the basement were we did have to shower (he had to make it up so for we would shower down there scary)but when we had to pee or poo it had to be in the busket on the days he was working int he bathroom no fun at all.But I think it is safe to say we have all incured our issues with the bathroom especially the toilet being clogged up by poo or other things

My sil's toilet was blocked, she found out when she was standing at the kitchen sink preparing a salad and poo starting coming up the plug hole!! :-( The guy who fixed it found a ton of baby wipes which she used to just flush instead of putting in the garbage. He told her they aren't biodegradable and will not reduce or dissolve in size. We never flush wipes in our family after she told us about meeting Mr Poo when she was washing her tomatoes!! haha
