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

To is in the cabinet next to the toilet. All of my crew still yells for me to bring them one. If the seat is up they leave it up. If it is down I have to wipe it before I use it. Cabinet doors are left open and everything set out is left out and they still can't find what is in front of their face. DH asks if I want something- meaning I want it, go get me some.
Had the remark made to me last week that I did not do anything except play on the computer, watch TV, Etc. I have went on strike and the house is a mess. If dishes can't make it to the sink they do not get washed. Same with clothes to the laundry room. If they want a clean bathroom they better be more "direct" when they use it. I told them I figured it was time to be ME not MAID. Figure it will take about another 2 days to run completely out of clothes, dishes and snack food. Wonder what will happen then?LOL

Mothering isn't easy. If it were easy men would do it.
Maybe this skill skips a generation. There is hope for your future grandchildren. In the mean time just carry your own paper and let them suffer the results of their inability to think of others. Hang in there it takes 21 days to replace a bad habit. Multiply that by the number of children, so it may take a while. Just don't budge!!
Don't shout, pout, or stomp your feet. Just smile and sing a little ditty to the children's tune of Fara Jacka. (Sorry don't know the real spelling.) Some of us know this song as Ding Ding Dong:
"I had paper. I had paper. How about you. How about you. Just replace the paper. Just replace the paper. Wipe. Wipe. Flush. Wipe. Wipe. Flush."

When you said they leave 4 squares on there, I automatically thought they left your a four patch. My daughter quilts, so that is something that she would do. It doesn't appear that your a failure to me. Love and respect and the rest will follow...

You didn't fail. Your kids did learn the lessons you so carefully tried to teach them. They simply refuse to put them into practice as that would mean they have to refuse to grow up, take responsibility, and actually DO something without being asked unless forced by circumstances (like running out of TP and no one to fetch it for them). Seriously, I understand. I think I'm married to one of your kids

Too funny, we fight this battle also.
If you see an empty roll on the toilet paper dispenser,
You are a
Son if you use the toilet anyway.
Daughter if you go find another bathroom.
Husband if you think about changing the roll.
Woman if you change the roll.
MOTHER if you change the roll, put three rolls on the back of the toilet and write toilet paper on the shopping list!
