    She grew up in Thailand, originally she used to squat on the toilet with her feet on the bowl! I managed to put a stop to that and she sits now, thank god

    You get a bargain basement wife and expect her to behave like a proper wife? Shame on you!

    What's your age and her age got to do with it?

    Would it make a difference in her habits if you were a similar age?

    Or do you like to tell everyone you have a wife half your age?

    Hello, I welcome your input.

    I thought it was pertinent to the query, as perhaps her age was a factor.

    You mean she is too young to be potty-trained?

    Hello, I welcome your input.

    When you brought her over from Thailand, did you not inform her of which toilet you expected her to use for what the old folks used to call 'number two', and did you not inform her how to use the toilet. If, that is, she has reached her mid-20s without knowing how to use it?

    I've seen the type of loo abroad where one is expected to squat, what the forces called 'footprints'. It's pretty easy to tell the difference between them and a normal loo. I would have thought to stand on a toilet seat you'd have to be pretty acrobatic, risk of falling etc. The mind boggles.

    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    You need to welcome her more, install a squat toilet & a bum gun.

    FYI, squatting is not due to lack of knowledge on how to sit on a toilet rather it actually encourages a more efficient bowel movement so maybe join her in her squatting for a better release. :)
    I don't respond to stupid so that's why I am ignoring you.

  • The other thing to do with toileting is, she wont use paper, I have tried her on it, but she wont have it. I have listened in, and I think she washes her !!!! in the sink.
