She was outraged! I closed the bathroom door and left her to clean up. I don't remember the state of the bathroom when she was done...but never had the problem again. She turned 50 this year.
Good on you!
I made one of my sons pack his own dirty diapers to the bathroom and put them in the toilet one morning, then I made him stand beside me while I dunked his soiled diapers up and down in the toilet, before handing them back to him to put in the plastic diaper pail.
The following morning dear son came into the kitchen pulling at his diapers and saying - "poo-poo mommy", meaning he had to go potty, suggesting to me that he had learned his leasson.
My youngest was the worst when it came to being toilet trained, he was still toddling around in diapers and rubber pants into his late 3's!
