I have been a foster parent for five years, a parent for 28 years, and we have adopted five daughters. I am so laughing at the email where the woman adopted two daughters, now 3 & 5. She couldn't believe that the foster parent potty trained the girls and didn't teach them to wipe. First of all, please be grateful that they are potty trained. You are very lucky. Second of all, I guess I laughed so hard because I am having the wiping problem too, however, our daughter is 4 and 1/2 and we have had her since she was three days old. Have I not taught her to wipe? Of course I have! It is a constant reminder with her. The only thing that I can figure out is that she hates to take time away from playing and so she rushes in to use the bathroom and rushes back. She is also a very active child. I'm glad to say that it is only when she goes pee that we have the problem.
