Slightly hard, just a little bit soft

After a day or arse-splitting constipation from Third Son, requiring manual extraction (oh dear God no, I can’t even write those words without flinching) and a day of arse-exploding diarrhoea from Second Son (sixth stomach bug in five weeks, it’s been such a fun summer) is it just a little bit wrong that I should be stirring the oil into the slightly crunchy peanut butter, stirring, stirring, and thinking, no I just CANNOT eat that after today, not when it looks like that – and then eating it anyway?

As if I didn’t hate peanut butter enough already…..
We have had this issue here. Mineral oil, raisins, lots of water, warm orange juice or pear juice…..there are fiber + drinks that used to do the trick with my 3 year old…..
Good luck. Oh the joys of poop………

And then there’s my personal favourite – the suppository. Because there’s really nothing like inserting THAT into a steel-rod column of c-r-a-p.
