JFC why is DCUM obsessed with pooping? It’s bizarre. So many posts on it from where in the house you go to pooping at parties now when your teens poop??

My kids poop first thing in the morning.

Serious question - how on earth do you train a kid to poop at a certain time? I had an easy kid who naturally pooped after dinner when he was in diapers/training, but I didn't 'train' him that way. Now it can be at random times, from what I can discern from the times he announces what he has done (which is annoying and I tell him to keep that to himself). At the moment I'm a morning pooper, but every once in a while it shifts to other times of day for a long stretch. I have adjusted my diet to stop eating those things that trigger my IBS/IBD (which always struck at 3 pm for some reason), but even with that sometimes you just...gotta go. And some days I just...don't gotta go. I don't worry about it at all and just answer nature's call.

I hope you're not one of those who gives unnecessary enemas and laxatives to "get on schedule" (I was stunned to realize that's a thing, and it's harmful to your system).
