UnsinkableKristen Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 LOL - My 6 year old is the only one that replaces it in our house!! It drives her nuts :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I have had that same thought. I will tell you that my ds (about to be 13) has shown improvement in this area. My dd (10) will get a new roll out and leave it within easy access of the next user. I want to know why I am the only one who can see an overflowing garbage can.

RoughCollie Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) :iagree: sometimes it can make him a little cranky. :lol: I told my DH to take pride in the one thing he does well (regarding inside chores).

ChemMommy Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 why I am the ONLY one that can replace the empty toilet paper roll! I've left the roll empty for days, just to see if anyone had developed a skill in tp management. Alas, that skill must not be in the DNA that my kids have. Someone suggested to me that I get a European tp holder so you just have to slip a new roll on rather than use a spring loader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise in Florida Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 It is indeed a skill which mystifies my family. That also includes the paper towel holder and putting a new bag in the kitchen trash can. They will pile trash on the counter next to the can FOR DAYS until the new bag is added. :glare: It is a good thing that they have other useful skills.

Lara in Colo Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 In our house, the empty toilet paper roll is like a golden ticket!!! They make horrible creations out of trash with these things. They are so in demand (4 children) that I will find a pile of toilet paper on the floor and a fresh roll on the wall ready to be used, just so that an empty roll can be colored and glued and taped into "something" No.... my toilet paper roll changing problems are the complete opposite!!!

Audrey Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 No. I am not the only one who can change the toilet paper roll. However, I am the only one who can do it correctly. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDmom Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Because if someone else does it, they will put it on WRONG!! And then you will have to take it off and put it back on again the RIGHT way. :D -Bonnie (who should be seeking counseling for her OCD tendencies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraGB Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 why I am the ONLY one that can replace the empty toilet paper roll! Because that's just the stinking way it is, lady. :tongue_smilie: And you are likely the only one who can turn off a light, close a drawer or cupboard door, and pick up your own darn underwear off the floor. Right? (please say yes because I've been at an impasse for too many years to be doing it all on my own.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAS in LA Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Recently, I thought of making a list titled "I am an important member of my family because . . . " and including all these items. :001_smile: Plus, "I am the only one who knows how to reshelve books" and "I am the only person who knows where the scotch tape is".

Trivium Academy Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Guilty, sort of. Hubby complains that I just sit the new roll on the empty roll. "Why? Why don't you just slide the old roll off and put the new one on?" He asks me ALL the time. It's my annoying thing, hey- he has his too. The kids however DO put a new roll on, I'm the only culprit. :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nd293 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 why I am the ONLY one that can replace the empty toilet paper roll! I am assuming you have a very complicated toilet roll holder than only someone with "Mom" in their title is qualified to operate. Our new house has a holder that allows the toilet roll to be replaced with one hand, and the new rolls are kept in an open bag on the floor next to the toilet. I am thrilled to inform you that this system can be operated by both children and husbands. Unfortunately, only Mom is qualified to bend down and pick up the empty rolls which take refuge behind the toilet... I might have to invest in a bin - but then I'd have to empty it!
