Squat Toilets

James loves them.

I had no problem with them for 2 years in Thailand....but that was before kids.

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to undress a toddler (especially in winter clothes) without letting anything touch the dirty/nasty/wet ground

Trying to hold them over the toilet since their legs aren't long enough to reach across the toilet on their own

Balancing them (and yourself) without getting peed on.

While holding a baby that is trying to wiggle out of your arms

And trying to keep the preschool aged child inside the bathroom.

And carrying toilet paper...such a nuissance since a diaper bag never happens when we're out walking around.

And no soap (or sometimes even running water) to wash the hands.

Yeah...I'm not such a fan of the squat toilets now a days.

Unfortunately the girls love them.  And, if there is ever an option between the squat or regular toilet, it's the squat every time!!
