WTF do kids do with toilet roll??

BabySharkDoDoDoDoDo · 13/09/2018 22:25

I put a brand new one out last night. It's gone.

Do they eat it?? Make secret sculptures?? Hide it???

Compete over who can wipe with the most pieces?!

Oh I read this thread title and laughed!

They roll as much as possible round their hand because there's something really satisfying about the rolling motion. And the buggers don't have to pay to replace it. Or remember to go to the shop.

Do what my friends dad did and squash the tube before putting it out. It spoils the lovely smooth rolling motion and you only get a few sheets st a go.

Same here. They sit on the toilet ripping it into little snowflake patterns. Write messages to each other on it. God only knows what else. I am constantly buying the stuff.

Same here, I’m sure they eat it. I now only buy 2ply because 3 doesn’t last any longer and there’s more chance of the toilet getting blocked.

To be fair I am a fiend for toilet paper myself, I get through ridiculous amounts. Block the toilet almost daily.

I don’t mind them eating it but why fuck is it I’m the only one who remembers to get new loo roll.

And it’s always after I sat down goto grab toilet paper to see empty cardboard tube.

Never have I heard anyone shout can u get me toilet paper.

recently i noticed my 4 year old rips pieces off, rolls it into balls and hides it inside the cardboard roll of the one hanging up. wondered why a poo was taking so long...

We get through reams of the fecking stuff because my 5yo likes to make sure his bum is really clean and continues to wipe looooooong after he needs to stop.

Mmmmmmmchips · 14/09/2018 01:27

My DH uses all ours up

He lines the seat in about 2-3 layers before he sits down Hmm

GoodbyeSummer · 14/09/2018 01:46

Make bloody pompoms out of it I think.

BabySharkDoDoDoDoDo · 14/09/2018 18:25

2-3 layers on your home loo? Why??

Mine like to 'wrap presents' with it. Write notes. Make those water balls they stick to the ceiling Confused

stuff the toilet full, throw loads on the floor and leave it for someone else to clear up because their sodding parents dont supervise the little bastards.

at least that is my experience in building management...

Fluffycloudland77 · 14/09/2018 18:51

We get through about 24 every month or so, theres only us two Confused

The cat will bunny kick it if dh has one on the table to clean his gun barrels out. Luckily he hasn't learnt how to take it off the holder.

I've been collecting the tubes for a craft thing at school.

We have used 13 since last Friday. Ffs!

I had to read that sentence several times before I realised that none of it was a euphemism. Grin MN has given me a dirty mind.

KindergartenKop · 14/09/2018 20:40

My son doesn't wipe at all if he can get away with it!

CoperCabana · 14/09/2018 20:45

I also had to read the bunny kick one about 8 times!

Just never have an artful basket of loo rolls...

safariboot · 14/09/2018 20:52

I usually put a couple of sheets in the bowl first to prevent any splashback, that might be why we seem to use so much. I also end up using the stuff for blowing my nose if I can't find any tissues.
