Very important question re wearing a skirt

[scaryman]

If you wear a skirt and you need the loo, do you lift it up or pull it down?

Thanks

Surely lift up ?!

Lift up of course!

Use a funnel we carry round in our handbags generally but don't tell anyone scary man - its a secret

If you are in a public loo and pull it down...just think what you could be dragging it in

I'm rickman btw not a hairy truck driver. Anyone else?

Lift. Surely there is nobody who pulls down? do you scaryman-rickman?

No, I lift up. Both of my dd's pull theirs down though, just wondered if it was a kid thing or whether other people pull down.

It's a kid thing. My DD dos that too.

I think lifting up takes a little mastering. My 3 year old neice pulls down also.

When do you decide to do it the other way though?

yes my 3 year old dd pulls down to, despite me trying to explain that it is easier not to

Oh this is SOOO what I wanted to know, since a colleague who I don't particularly like v much flounced out of my office the other day with a trail of toilet paper hanging from the waistband of her skirt. Now surely she MUST pull down? I can't think of any other explanation. But don't we stop that at age 4?????

Oooh, so my DD is a star? She's been bloody slow when it comes to words (possibly due to mummy not talking to her and being on here ), but she lifts her skirts up - she does get all confused when its a full dress, and she has armfuls of material trying not to drop down the loo, and then wants toilet paper

Am I am mean mummy to just watch?

Well my eldest dd is 7, do you think she should have mastered the art of lifting up by now?

Jan - didn't you ask her how it got there?

Scaryman I didn't want to even imagine how it got there.

I don't do skirts (as a rule) but dd is 3 and lifts up.

3yo pulls down and 5 yo pulls up.

3yo is paranoid about piddling over her clothes, so I guess she pulls down as clothes are then firmly out of wee range.

Lift it up always but dd (aged 5) still pulls it down despite me telling her many times not to.

Lol - probably the same theory is what has made DD lift up - she kept having problems where she sat on the potty funny (no idea how) and her trousers got soggy, so that would be why she lifts skirts

definitely lift up.

I seem to recall I was about 5 when I stopped pulling down - this dragon of a teacher walked through the toilets when I was in there with my skirt pulled down - and obviously showing just under the door. She waited until I got out and then gave me a massive lecture about why I shouldn'th ave been pulling down, but should be lifting up......it wokred - I never pulled down again

and the penny drops... dd lifts up because when she was potty training it was summer and she was living in summer dresses - well you can't pull down a dress can you! there we have it - why my dd lifts up!
