@fthuntno need to feel guilty. Most people do this as long as they have the space to store them. Usually it´s done when the person gets paid.

I can't believe anyone would criticize someone for doing this for a loved one. I have enough tp for now. But concerned about down the road, I've been trying to get some delivered. Target order is delayed, who knows if I'll get it at all. Found some on Walmart's site, who knows if I'll get that.

 

I'm doing the responsible thing and staying out of stores as much as I can. My Mom is gone and my Dad can't do it for me, even in his condition he's worried about me. My neighbor offered to get me anything that he can. That's how people are supposed to help each other.

 

I hardly think helping out an adult child or anyone else during this crisis is "enabling".

If you are out of TP, WHAT ARE YOU USING INSTEAD? I am curious.

I mailed toilet paper to my daughter in Chicago.She has no car to drive from store to store searching for toilet paper. And none of the places that you would normally order from are doing delivery. This is not enabling a child. It's called being a parent. Yes it cost more to mail it than the toilet paper. I hope she doesn't run out because I haven't seen any toilet paper in the stores for the past 2 weeks.

There was a story on our local station last week about a company that manufactures toilet paper. It's called Peach and is, of all things, bought online by subscription. The owner said they're ramping up production because they've gotten so many more subscriptions. So, they ship but I don't know where they're located.

@SilleeMee, I always have a supply of flushable wipes.  People I´ve spoken to said they would take a shower.

@Sage04 

LOL! I would be taking many showers.Woman LOL Flushable wipes are not really flushable and the utility people are saying not to flush them...they are clogging the sewer lines real bad since this virus came along and people using wipes because of no TP.
