Default Toilet keeps breaking

I have a problem with a toilet, it keeps cracking where it's bolted down.

I blame my mother-in-law for breaking it. Everytime she comes over and
uses the bathroom, I end up with a busted toilet. Now she is one heavy
duty woman. I think what happens is she plops down on the toilet, instead
of sitting down, and when she goes to get up, she rocks the toilet.

Weight Watchers is out of the question, this woman likes to chow down.

Maybe I'm not installing the new toilets right? However, they're fine
until she uses it.



The toilet shoudn't rock. Is the flange too high? Are you using a wax ring
or a waxless device? I got a waxless seal from HD that would not work right
in my installation, Get a Fernco waxless seal. It works well.
