AIBU to expect 14 yr old ds to piss in the loo and not all round it?!

nigelslaterfan · 26/06/2015 23:51

I cleaned that loo so well that the landing didn't stink of wee; and tonight, there is piss behind the seat round the fixings of the seat....... Am I alone? Why can't he piss into the loo, oh have MERCY on me.

You could also start taking the piss out of him about his rubbish aim in front of his friends.

CordeliaFoxx · 27/06/2015 01:13

I feel your pain, 3DSs and DH and am constantly cleaning up after them. Mine also have an aversion to lifting to seat, so end up wet arsed if I don't check first! Joys of boys.

reni1 · 27/06/2015 15:24

I fail to understand why any woman would mop it up once the boys are out of the toddler years, would you clean it up if they shat on the floor?

Sparklingbrook · 27/06/2015 15:40

I have one of those over the rim cleaner things. Since I put it on no pee anywhere. I think they aim at it. Result.

alsmutko · 27/06/2015 15:44

Our downstairs loo is tiny & the sink is v close to the toilet do I never know whether that puddle on the floor, that one I just trod in with my bare feet, is water or wee.
But I'm interested to note how DP once blamed DD for making the seat smell of wee. It still occasionally smells of wee even though she's been at uni for 2 years. She perhaps teleports from over 250 miles away when we're not watching just to make the loo seat pong.
It's certainly not me.

AgentProvocateur · 27/06/2015 15:44

I also don't understand why you're all cleaning up your husband and sons' piss.

HagOtheNorth · 27/06/2015 15:45

I'm pleased to see so many people saying he should clean it up himself, he's 12, not a little boy. I wouldn't have been impressed if he'd weed everywhere on a visit to my house either.
OH and DS can both aim, and the occasions when DS is less than awake and isn't so good, he cleans up.

Sparklingbrook · 27/06/2015 15:47

Yy they should clean it up but some teenage boys cleaning is as good as their wee aim and don't so much soak it up as spread it about.

HagOtheNorth · 27/06/2015 15:49

'Joys of boys.'

Nope, it's the joy of having a women who cleans up after you, so you don't have to think about it.
Like when you wiped their bums when changing a nappy, and you dealt with the mess. All they had to do was wee and forget about it.
Why are you still doing it?

lagirafe · 27/06/2015 15:49

I am currently battling this with DS 7 and DS 4 - the 4 year old being the worst culprit.
Whenever I hear one going into the downstairs loo I'm on their case and if they do wee on the floor/seat I hand them a cloth and dettol spray and make them clean it up and put said cloth straight in the machine!

I'm hoping they will get so bored/annoyed of this they will just aim better!!!!

HagOtheNorth · 27/06/2015 15:50

Practise makes perfect Sparkling.
By the 50th time, they've either got better at cleaning or stopped missing.

BarbarianMum · 27/06/2015 15:50

We have this problem (although my 2 are younger). It turns out that ds2's foreskin and the position of the opening on his willy don't align properly, so actually it is difficult for him point and aim accurately. He is however old enough to wipe up any mess he makes so we are working on this.

Sparklingbrook · 27/06/2015 15:52

Definitely Hag, they soon got fed up, and now they are aiming at the rim thingy there has been no mopping at all. We used to have a ping pong ball in the loo when they were toilet training.

LazyLouLou · 27/06/2015 15:53

Everyone sits to wee in my house.... talk about controlling! I find that worse than the idea of pee on the floor.

Sparklingbrook · 27/06/2015 15:55

Even the visitors? LouLou?

LazyLouLou · 27/06/2015 15:58

What visitors? I don't allow them

Sorry, sparkling, I meant to quote a previous poster, who said even her dad complies with her rules... her house, her rules apparently. I find that really weird!

MoreBeta · 27/06/2015 16:00

I am a man. The solution is sit down.

My DSs do this. I clean their loo on their floor of the house. Drives me nuts. No matter how much I tell them to sit down.

My solution about to be implemented in the summer holidays is they clean their floor entirely. They are mid and early teen and I think it is about time they learned the consequences and started to do some chores.

diddl · 27/06/2015 16:00

Of course yanbu OP.

What did you do?

Clean it or make him do it?

How does it get so bad that landings/bathrooms stink of wee?

HagOtheNorth · 27/06/2015 16:02

Boys are just as able as girls, men are as able as women. But why bother to modify something that's easy for you if there are no consequences, either positive or negative?
I can pretend I can't aim, don't understand how to use a washing machine or a hoover, do a boring job badly so that a patronising or exasperated female will come and take over and do it for me. All I need is the ability to outlast her patience.
If someone else is picking up all the areas I'm slack about, why would I change?
Only problem is, I then have to find a partner like my mum who will do the same. Otherwise, I'll have to change my behaviour for the reward of javing a relationship.
DD's not going to be cleaning up after her men, or boys. Neither is DS.

TheHormonalHooker · 27/06/2015 16:13

When we toilet trained our two boys we taught them to get a couple of sheets of toilet roll and wipe round the rim of the toilet after they had used it. It's second nature now. I'm not having men in my house who can't use a bloody toilet. If they can't aim something of a few cms in diameter down something about a hundred times bigger then they can be responsible for cleaning up their own mess.

When DS1(20) joined the army last year, his first barrack block job was cleaning the toilets. He was utterly disgusted at the state they were left in by some of the other lads, and knowing him he won't have kept his thoughts to himself!

SilverNightFairy · 27/06/2015 16:21

I become a terrible person when I clean our one pissed upon bathroom. I stand in it an scream utterly terrible things that I cannot repeat here. I have told them all that upon retirement, I am moving into my own flat, with my own bathroom. I will be the only person allowed to use my pristine bathroom...ever..no exceptions. Any visitors will take their arses down the road to the nearest McDonald's and do their pissing there and then they may return to see me if they wish..

I am not angry or bitter in the least..

NotJustaPotforSoup · 27/06/2015 16:56

Well, this thread goes some way to explaining the "how can I get my DH do housework? " threads. And some of the Mil threads.

Why on earth do those of you who clean up after them do it?

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 27/06/2015 17:01

Mainly because I don't want to sit on a pissy loo seat Soup.

Sparklingbrook · 27/06/2015 17:03

I would imagine if you need a wee and the pissy DS has gone out you really would need to clean the seat before you sat on it rather than wait for him to get home.

reni1 · 27/06/2015 17:22

True if the culprit is out of the house you have to. If they are at hand however..

I always wondered who brings up those little kingpins who expect a female drudge to clean even their piss for them. Imagine how mortified the average 14 year old girl would be if caught not cleaning her piss! Why is it so different for boys?
