Not one of my 5 kids knows how to do this....so I have failed....
Well not really failed I guess - they have learned to leave 4 squares on there so that its not really empty and in their minds needs to be replaced.
I don't understand it??? I don't care if the toilet paper is over or if its under...I dont' even really mind if its not on the spindle - althought I prefer it that way so it doesn't end up in the toilet. BUT.... I REALLY DO MIND going to the bathroom and there only being 4 square or there being NONE!
I thought I was teaching them everything they needed to know before they tackled the real world but I just missed this one!!!

My daughter was the same way. But now she is married and has her own home I find she is nagging at her husband for the same thing. (The toilet seat thing too) So I am getting my revenge now.
I always buy a big package of TP at Costco and when I get home I put about six rolls in each bathroom. That way if the roll is empty at least I don't have to go without.

My 9 yrold nephew was here for a weekend awhile ago. He has his own bathroom at home and doesn't lift the seat. That changed very quickly while he was here. I gave him the cleaning supplies the first time I saw the mess. He was great for the rest of the weekend!

that created 5 cabinet slams and some glares while I was grinning away on the couch! However....not one of them ate the last 1/2 of the cookie or threw the bag away - so I had it with my coffee this morning!!!

I solve the running out of TP problem by stocking each bathroom with it's own extra rolls easily reached from the commode.
