This text exchange about enemas between me, my sister, and our mother is a an example of why I am the way I am.
Jackie [my sister]: Yup. Paige [my niece] hasn’t (now, hadn’t) pooped since last Wednesday and has been forcing herself to hold it in. This morn, she started refusing food. Small nasal bulb + warm water = GIANT Poop!
Vicki [our mom]: She’s related to your Dad for sure! Glad you solved the problem. Maybe you could get her to poop in the potty.

Does that mean your mom’s been using the bulb and warm water thing on your dad? Cause… eww!
OH GOD I DIDN’T THINK OF THAT GROSSSSSSS…

Why oh why do kids do this?
I lol’d at the above comment, because I briefly thought, “Ew, hope the warm water thing isn’t what she was referring to!”

I’m not really sure how to say this, and I can’t imagine you’ll listen to me or understand this so I guess this is for the sake of others who might come here? But giving children regular enemas is child abuse. You’re basically looking for an excuse to force a terrifying experience on a child in the name of taking care of them. Don’t be surprised if your kids grow up depressed, or if they hate you. Honestly I hope they get away from you as soon as they possibly can. It’s so disgusting how casually you can talk about forcing a tube up your child’s bum.
Annnnnnd bring on the snarky defensive comments in 3….2….
1) One enema is not a “regular” thing.
2) You should expect a snarky defensive comment when you jump to the conclusion that my sister is giving her daughter “regular” enemas when she mentions just the one.
3) My kids will probably hate me for many other non-enema-related reasons.
