Sick of sitting in pee!!!!!

[Alfiesmom74]

Has anyone got any advice on how to make DS (10) lift the bloody toilet seat up when he pees!!!! Sick to death of sitting on the loo only to feel my bottom wet! It’s driving me absolutely batty! I wouldn’t mind if he had a good aim but he couldn’t pee straight to save his life 😡

Originally I was making him clean but I got tired so now I make my one sit. It took a good 2 months of training and me shouting "siiiiiiiiiiit" each time he was running for the loo lol but life is so much better now (he's 7)
Plus apparently it's better for the prostate
Next step, using the toilet brush after number 2

10 years old in think it's time to introduce the most dreaded punishment for a child; to make him clean the toilet. The punishment is apt.

That’s the thing he does use the toilet brush after a number 2 so I can’t complain about that. It’s just the peeing bit we need to work on.

DH sits down at home so I don’t have this problem he has also told DS 8 to sit down at home and stand outside.

I moved house. We now have an en suite bathroom and boys aren't allowed in there. Problem solved.

Bit of an expensive solution though.

Keep the toilet seat including lid down while not in use. They’ll have to lift the lid and with enough nagging to go along side it will learn it’s just easier to lift the seat too.
Tried and tested with the ex

Are him clean it up, that approach worked with mine!

*make not ate 🤢

make him clean it.and floor.mines 8.every time it happens is less frequently than was

I am the only female in the house, all the males sit to pee.

The children are also taught to check the toilet after they have used it or I will call them back to clean it.

They have had to clean it in the past where they had to scrub at poo marks (they have their own bathroom which only they use) they soon learnt to check after the flush.

Check the seat every time you go in. If it's sprayed with piss, call him to clean it up. Stand there and make sure he does it too.
It shouldn't take too long.

My ex used to piss on the seat, selfish prick. Clearly nobody taught him this wasn't acceptable, so when I complained to him about sitting on his piss, I was the one in the wrong. Oh, how I miss living with him.

You have to insist and make him clean it up every time he leaves a mess.

It's about learning respect for other people and things. Also about hygiene. After reading about how much nast is expelled into the air when flushing with the lid open... yuck.

It really is simple to lift the seat, wee, put seat down, put lid down and flush.

Letting boys and men get away with this stuff and cleaning up after them does subtly send the message that, I'm a lazy arse who can just piss wherever because skivvy mum or another woman will come clean up my piss.

Same here, myself and teenage DD are getting really miffed at two primary sons leaving pee on the seat, I am fed of nagging of either cleaning up or lifting the seat. Now accepted to leave the seat down.

Looking at moving house, and I am going insist on an en-suite which DD and I can use. DH and the boys can use the other one, and they can do what they like but I will refuse to clean it.

Two of ds(14) friends still do this, piss poor (excuse the pun) parenting that they still do it at 14. I'm on toilet alert when they are here, they get asked to clean it (and the floor 🤮) and told to sit down if they can't aim.

My boys are 5 and 7. I have been drilling it into them, after they are done wipe the seat (regardless of if you can see pee or not), lid down and flush, wash hands.

I literally inspect the toilet every time BEFORE I sit down. I’ve learned the hard way. If there is pee I say to them ‘could whoever was last to use the toilet please come and clean it.’ And they do.

You need to check the seat out before and if it’s pee then make him clean it.

I might be old fashion in my approach, but I told mine off when they did it.

They also have to clean it if they forget. But they rarely do now.

I'd leave a bottle of antibacterial spray on the loo and say after every single wee he has to spray the seat then wipe down with loo roll. I'd say if he leaves a puddle of piss again I will make him lick it up.

Please insist and make sure they use a toilet hygienically, your Sons future girlfriend's Mums will judge you if they don't!

I've got 5 boys and have very very rarely had to tell them off about leaving a wet seat. I'd love to share the secret of my success, but I guess I've just been lucky!

I will say that it took them a long time to learn that the toilet does actually have a flush though, so I can't be a totally smug mother.

I have a husband who has taught his 4 year old son to lift the seat.

There's your issue. Its not your son.

I second those saying call him back to clean it everytime until he a) lifts the seat and improves his aim and/or b) learns to clean up after himself.

My 9yo ds used to be AWFUL for not flushing the toilet. Until I started sending him back upstairs to do it as soon as he came down. He soon got fed up of traipsing up and down stairs and now flushes everytime automatically. Doesn’t take long for them to get the message.

How do you tell him off about it? Do you just tell him it's horrible, or he shouldn't do it?

Does he get a clear messages it's unacceptable and a filthy habit? And does he wash his hands after, because if he doesn't care about the toilet, he probably doesn't care about his hands either.

He needs to know it is not right and won't be tolerated. Making him clean it is a great start but a change of attitude is needed too.

As for him not being able to aim, does this mean you've had 10 years of it or is it a recent thing?

Call him back if that doesn't work take the set off

Sticky targets in the loo.

Tellhim to pee in the garden.. if you have one.
