Potty training boys blows big chunks of poo

I have become resigned to the fact that for the next 15 years i will have to set the timer for every 2 hours to remind my dear son to sit on the toilet. and even then he'll say he's done, go to the kitchen table and poop in his pants. does he have no nerve endings in his bum? Why are girls so much easier than boys? It's as if he likes the warm squishy. I wonder how many kids go to kindergarten in diapers...doesn't sound so bad.
