to expect DS to at least tell me when he's peed on the floor?

[Seeline]

Honestly I sometimes wonder what the point of actually having a toilet in the bathroom is. DS is 6.8 - surely he should be able to aim straight by now. I am so sick of getting wet feet!!

Put something in the bowl to aim at - ping pong ball or similiar.

Not unreasonable but likely either!

I have three boys,I spend my entire time cleaning the loo floor ,we have tried everything ,the ping pong ball just made things worse as the wee richocheted (not sure of spelling) off it onto the wall!!!!

floaty.

In Sainsbury's, in the baby section, they have a pack of blue balls with faces on them. You drop them into the loo and then the boys aim at them when they wee.

I'm sure you could get them at Boots, Superdrugs etc.

I'm glad I've got girls

think yourself lucky it was your own child, i went into my toilet yesterday and lifted to lid to clean it and ended up with wet hands and soggy socks. turned out the 9 year old boy over the road had been in and peed everywhere [yuck][yuck][yuck]

but why can't they aim properly?

never had problems with DS nor any of his friends, am surprised when I read about this on MN tbh

Poor co- ordination, leavingit too late so it comes out with such force, that its a bit like an untrained fireman being let loose with the hose on full throttle...
To busy thinking baout other things to concentrate.

There are any number of reasons boys get pee everywhere... and frankly I am DEEPLY envious twiglett that your not spending half your life mopping up pee...
