Shelly, I find it interesting that your doctor inquired about your BM's when younger. Our pediatrician, and his nurse Marge, used to grill myself and my mom about BM's whenever they were seeing me in the office or on a housecall. According to my older sister, I was frequently constipated and complaining of tummy aches which prompted mom to call the doctor. I thought he was rather gruff when he used to tell mom "just give that kid an enema".

Needless to say, I got plenty of enemas as a youngster. I was threatened with enemas as well. Mom and grandma did not hesitate to give me or my older sister enemas if our BM's did not occur daily. I've posted that staying home from school or church was likely going to result in an enema, especially if I complained of a tummy ache or not feeling well. Enema time was rather contentious as I resisted and often got spanked as well.

It wasn't until I was a bit older that an enema evoked some rather enjoyable sensations. I had begun self administration at age 6 as an attempt to avoid a date with mom, and/or grandma, and the red enema bag that embarrassed me to no end. Even though I was pretty secretive, in hindsight I suspect that they knew I was using the enema bag myself.

I came to realize and believe that enemas were a reasonable way to manage my BM's rather than deal with those other issues that you, or your associates did. I anonymously discuss enemas outside of a few very close relationships. I believe my kids and grandkids might benefit from an enema now and then. I still enjoy the R&R that a good enema triggers, but avoid the suggestions due to my own obsessions.

I would only suggest that you carefully administer to your kids, and try to teach them self care along the way, inasmuch as I really disliked my mom and grandma, although I've come to realize they were merely trying to accomplish what was best for me and my older sister. Best to you!!!
