How can I stop my 7 year old ds peeing EVERYWHERE???

[Maidamess]

It is driving me mad. Every time he's had a pee, it is all over the rim, seat, floor, usually his pants and trousers too. Does anyone have any pee friendly tips? Or am I banging my head against a brick wall?

And while we are on the subject, do you encourage your boys to 'dab' with loo roll when they've had a pee?

DSs who are 10 and 11 are awful and it has got much worse as they are older. I don't remember it being a problem when they were little or I would have tried to nip it in the bud. I think the tall thing makes sense. In any case, I tried the ping pong ball and it did help, but then DD2 who is five refused to use that toilet. Argghhh. DH is fastidious in his toileting so it's not like they have a bad male example or anything. At my wit's end and watching this thread in the hopes...

I also have my DSs clean the toilet frequently and have been known to shout quite loudly about this.

Ds2 does clean it up (ineffectually - there are little damp fragments of loo paper all over the place). We've had to replace our flooring and the skirting boards (they were MDF - which just doesn't work well in a bathroom full stop we discovered).

But we have never had this problem with ds1 - he's always been fine...I don't know what's different about ds2 (he says his willy just goes "all over the place...")

And there was me wondering why my 2 ds's sat down despite me trying to get them to stand up! Perhaps I should count my blessings

Definitely need to stand up at school - none of the other little boys can aim either (have you ever seen boys' toilets in school? )

They're 6 & 8!!!! What shall I do? the loos are disgusting!

Either:

1. Tell them they can sit at home but they must stand at school.

1. Try very hard not to think about it

And don't even get me started on the bloody worms!
Threats it is then!

Anybody linked to these yet?
I have three boys and am seriously considering a urinal for the downstairs loo.

Sitting down to pee

I might get some of those, wardrobemistress - they seem a better idea than the balls (less likely to flush and block the loo). Anyone tried them?

I never did 'get' that thread. Dh wees sitting down sometimes and it doesn't phase me (woman of the world that I am). It's not like he's wearing my underwear or anything...

OMG Hunker! I hadn't seen that thread....
Have just related all this too my DH and his words on the matter..."what about when they need a crap?" So tried threatening the kids and they all laughed at me

Double LOLOL at DontCallMeHun re: the cheerios and glaskam's manic laugh

I tried the 'cheerio down the toilet' technique, much to my sons delight. I think he was on target. I think I am just going to have to bang on about it until the message hits home.

This is making me laugh - when we were teenagers, my brother used to leave a mess all the time all over the seat - I hated it and it's obviously left it's mark on my psyche as very occasionally I actually have nightmares about the loo at our childhood home being covered in piss and not being able to find anywhere clean to go!!! Your ds's sisters might be being psychologically damaged by this.....

How about a sticker in the loo to aim at? Wouldn't get flushed or pood on. Actually, I think you can get some that do something when you wee on them I think we had a gadgety catalogue and you could get sth like a face that turned into a smile if it was weed on... or something...

I'm 39 and a bloke. I sit down to wee, it's not worth the hassle of concentrating otherwise
