To say this needs fixing before she visits?

[Jenjar]

Shortly after start of lockdown, my (adult) DC cracked the loo seat in their bathroom. As a temp measure they taped it up however I told them they needed to replace it, I would pay for it but I needed them to source a replacement. I have been working FT from home, they are both furloughed. Also it's not a standard loo seat so I knew it wouldn't be a simple trip to B&Q. I have my own bathroom.

So months have passed. It's not been done because they are both lazy and I have enough to do without micro managing them. Eldest now wants girlfriend to visit (not sure if this is within lockdown rules, however they and her family all seem to think it's fine so whatever). I've said they need to fix the loo seat before she does. Cue lots of huffing and puffing and how unfair I'm being and they haven't got time etc.

So AIBU?

Proud, so proud!

What make is it? If it is a Bathstore comfy seat (they are higher) they are more expensive and need to ordered on line.

You’re 100% right. It’s your home and your children, adults or not, need to respect it. That would be more the issue for me. Lack of respect for things that aren’t theirs. If you went to their house and broke something I’m pretty sure they’d expect you to fix it!

Woohoo! I'm so proud

DS is currently in the bathroom with torch and tiny allen key attempting to remove. Judging by the expletives it is not going well...

Just get the old one off. Don't worry about replacing it (that's for the kids to do, source and pay for labour).

No one ever died of not having a toilet seat and the discomfort that's involved should concentrate their little minds on getting it replaced.

OOOhhhh Zaphod, thats inspired

Do the DC now have a lovely unbroken toilet seat?

Come on @jenjar, I'm being stalked around the web by ads for toilet seats - was it worth it?!
