Kim:
You are right, they have taken over control of their bowels; but they are running into the fact that they can't always have things their own way. (I remember when I was little hearing things such gems of wisdom as 'You can do anything you want, you just have to decide to do it, and get on with it.' I did so, deciding to continue my playing or whatever, and ignoring, even suppressing, the 'urge'; not realizing that there are some things (such as going poo) that one cannot avoid just by willpower. So I was a 'withholder'.) My mum was nowhere near as patient as you have been. She was getting frustrated with my disregard of toilet training when I was at the age of 4. (and a half; those halves are important at that age). She took me to the doctor, a friendly GP (I never had a pediatrician) who examined me and, I surmise, concluded that I had nothing wrong with me that an enema wouldn't fix. That fateful exam is forever burned in my mind. I remember it perfectly, much better than my first enema... But that is a little off topic. Thus commenced my regular enema sessions...
Anyway; I agree with your Mother in law that your kids should get into a routine of regular pooing. But I would, if I were you, have each of them examined to see if there is any other condition which may be causing problems. If they have not got a medical problem, I suspect that the suppository suggestions mentioned elsewhere here are a good start. I agree with the one who suggested that every day BMs are not essential, but after the second day, something should be done. (In my case, skipping a day was enough to bring out the enema equipment.) As for psychiatric disturbances due to being enemized; I don't think that enemas themselves are a problem; there may be problems with how they are approached and done. Ask your Mother in law; she is obviously experienced.
Please, please, advise us (the board) on how things come out (bad pun).
