to be fecking sick of soggy socks from wee on the floor

Honestly, how is it possible that someone who is only about 3 1/2 foot tall and their Willie is level with the toilet bowl can still manage to pee up the wall, on the floor and even hit the radiator ?!? Am sick to death of going into the toilet and getting soggy socks...boys are horrible

What is the matter with boys/men who do this? I have never had any males in my family miss the loo - or if they do they obviously clear it up.
I certainly would never clear up any mess made by anyone over the age of 3 yrs.
If I was not sure who had done it - I would make them all take turns cleaning up.

IME it is not just x4 DS who miss in the night.

I am considering making our upstairs loo female only so by default it will be clean and non smelly at all times as I will be the only one using.

A boy at my DD's preschool managed to pee upwards and got his top wet.....according to the teachers it's just harder for them to control. You could stick a sticker in the loo (just above the the water line)?

My DP wipes up after himself but when FIL comes to stay, he just seems to spray it everywhere. I make DP clean it up.

I feel your pain, I have 2 sons one is fine but the other (older) manages to piddle all up the wall and down the back of the loo. Its not that hes not aiming it just his stream is so strong and it splashes.

umiaisha · 16/10/2014 14:29

Makes me heave clearing up after messy pissing men!

Thankfully OH and DS (3) sit down. OH has been brought up with the thinking that you only need to stand up in dirty toilets and he has passed this down to DS.

2 teenage boys here - lots of piss all over the loo - occasionally I make them wipe it up (Mr Muscle squirty cleaner on cistern top - not that they'd notice to do it without being asked). Filthy - but I'm told "it's just boys, it's what they do" Shock

After 3 girls and now a nearly 2 year old ds,I have this joy to look forward to! I might move my toothbtush.Wink

You need to wear slippers.

Davsmum · 16/10/2014 14:50

It is not just boys and what they do''
It is what they are allowed to get away with.

There is no excuse for any boy/man to make a mess in the loo.
I would be bloody ashamed if my partner or son did that. To be honest - I would refuse to live with someone so dirty. Why do any of you want a DH who is so inconsiderate and sloppy?
I mean, do they do it in other people homes? or at work? YUK!

SenatusPopulusqueRomanorum If she was not long dead I would believe you were my mother. That is what she did!

Artandco · 16/10/2014 18:15

Dh sits down, as does Both ds's. Also brought up to only stand when urinals or dirty.

I would move out if anyone started pissing over the bathroom!

My bathroom is an adult sanctuary also. My children had bath toys but they live in a basket out of view. So when they are asleep dh and I can have our baths with candles/ wine and it's a nice environment still.

whois · 16/10/2014 20:05

DP must sit down because the seat is never up and there is never any mess. He is extremely secretive about bathroom practices thoigh and locks the door even if no one is home.

PacificDogwood · 16/10/2014 20:31

I am perfectly happy for my boys/DH to wee in any position they wish to as long as their aim is true - they just need to pay attention to what they are doing. It helps if they also use their hands rather than doing it all 'hands-free' Hmm

I agree it's not just what some guys do, it's that they get away with it AND find it funny - that would really piss me off.

Moln · 16/10/2014 20:38

I've this problem too. Not wee everywhere but at either side of the loo near the wall. I can only conclude that the issue is here is one of them is weeing and hitting the back of the toilet bowl which caused it to pool around the hinged part of the seat and then run down the side.

As with Vodka, it's not of them.

Doesn't the ping pong ball get covered with poo?

Moln · 16/10/2014 20:38

(well there's a question I didn't think I'd ever ask!)

whatever5 · 16/10/2014 20:47

I didn't realise that so many boys/men pissed everywhere and I'm amazed that anyone puts up with it (except when their children are very young, of course). My dad would have gone nuts if my brothers made a mess. I would go mad if DH made a mess.

Purplepoodle · 16/10/2014 20:49

My 6 year old is the biggest culprit, funny my 3 yr old is grand. To be fair poor 6yr old ds problems often happen at night even when he sits down as his winky was hard (fingers in ears lalalalala) and wee went everywhere

MsVestibule · 16/10/2014 20:55

Moln I'd never thought of that. As it's permanently soaking, I guess it doesn't really have time to adhere Grin.

Moln · 16/10/2014 21:02

Thing is whatever5 is it 'isn't me' then there's not a lot you can do in the way of not putting up with it. I have mentioned repeatedly, as has their dad, that they are to wee only in the water.

Might get a ping pong ball, and will report back on the pooh adhereage

I doubt that my brothers would have dared blaming the other in case my dad worked out who was lying.

PacificDogwood · 16/10/2014 21:26

No, I don't accept 'wasn't me' - well, maybe you did not wee on the seat/the floor/the wall, but you are cleaning it up right now, because it sure was not me and I am NOT cleaning it up. If you feel hard done by then sort it out with your brothers.

V effective once the dust has settled, peer pressure works a treat Grin

Eva50 · 16/10/2014 21:26

Three ds's and a dh here.

It's in the middle of the night when I stagger through in the dark and unthinkingly, drop my pj trousers to my ankles only to be sporting yucky pj's when I pull them up again.
