We both squeeze from the bottom, although we each have our favorite brand of seperate toothpaste. They even sell things to put on the tube and it ensures you squeeze from the bottom!
Oh how funny, Betsy... AND SO true!!!!! I have 'trained' my hubby --because we have a clamp that we use at the bottom of the toothpaste--and we use that clamp to roll the tube up as it gets empty... He is doing pretty good with that clamp now!!!!! ha
LadyCat ~ I don't like it rolled up...that drives me crazy! haha. Now...is Bach the same way? Ah...but you're still in the honeymoon of your marriage...it wouldn't bother you yet if he wasn't! haha.
Funny! I've been thinking lately how much I like the fact that I get to make all the decisions for my household of one. Being in complete control of the TV remote is a plus. Of course there is a down side as well...but I won't go into that. I'm just going to celebrate the control.
In the days of metal toothpaste tube, back when I was very small, it mattered more where the tube was squeezed. What I can't figure out how to fix is the traveling toothpaste trouble. How (or why) must it always end up downstairs? Maybe I need to put it on a chain like the bank does with pens.
My problem lately is that Hubby screws the lid on so tight that I can't get it off without using the towel as a grip around it. They don't make our brand with a flip lid either. :(

My husband has told me many times that if we had to share a sink we'd be divorced. Apparently I leave my hair all over it and it grosses him out. I don't see why tho, I also leave it all over the shower, the tub, the bathroom floor, the bed, the closet, my clothes...
but yeah, we also have separate toothpaste tubes. That middle squeeze thing bugs the hell outta me!

Here's one way we keep petty quarrels out of our
lol. we might need to try that...
ReplyDeleteBetsy, you are very smart!
ReplyDeleteI solved our problem by putting a chip clip on the bottom of the toothpaste ~~ then it always get's squeezed from the bottom.
But then you have different kinds of toothpaste... Don has to use what I buy...(He's never complained, so I guess it's OK!)
ahh at last an answer (I squeeze from the middle) ;-)
ReplyDeleteCMJ ~ well, if he does, too, then your both happy right? LOL!
ReplyDeleteWanda ~ Don's a good man! :) A chip clip...now that's a good idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!

ReplyDeleteHey...thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I
ReplyDeletehave separate toothpastes.
We both like different kids.
Mommy 2
HAHAHAHA........just like a man.
ReplyDeleteWe do that too! Everyone in the family has their own tube. It not only promotes peace, but I am convinced it is far more hygienic!
ReplyDeleteIn my household it is the other way around. I squeeze the middle.;))

Protege~ no way! I'd never take you for a middle tube squeezer! haha
ReplyDeleteEssential to a strong marriage!!
ReplyDeleteOh it drives me crazy when the middle of the tube is smooshed. I am careful to get everything from the bottom & then roll the tube up as I use it.

ReplyDeleteMartha ~ I laughed out loud at that! Hey...I need one of those bank chains on our nail clipper!
ReplyDeleteHa! So funny. I really liked the dispenser that sits on the counter, but I don't think they make them anymore!
ReplyDeleteLolz that's a very tricky way to be apart from fights...
ReplyDeleteJolliieess:)
LOL... we have to go one further... separate bathrooms. LOL. It does keep the peace though!
ReplyDeleteNoni ~ haha...well, that's not possible for us but we do have separate sinks. ;)
ReplyDeleteGood way to solve a common problem when sharing something as personal as toothpaste!
ReplyDeleteIn my house there's only me - but I get mad at the way I squeeze the tube in the middle!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I just grab his toothpaste and squeeze it all to the top/ha
ReplyDeleteNanny ~ haha...no, you are more patient than me...I'm not going to manage his tube! ha.
ReplyDeleteMy problem lately is that Hubby screws the lid on so tight that I can't get it off without using the towel as a grip around it. They don't make our brand with a flip lid either. :(
ReplyDeleteWe don't all do that. Some men know just where to squeeze.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Might have to try that.
ReplyDeleteHazarding a guess that yours is the bottom one.
ReplyDeleteSimple and brilliant!
ReplyDeleteValerie ~ oh, how DID you know! :)
