£12.99. Hmmm...

I might not be coddy but you're a "mentalist nobbo" [sic]for thinking of one of these.

Get a bloody step and teach him to hang his penis over the toilet rim. Pop a pingpong ball in the loo. Get him to aim.

Save yourself a bloody fortune woman!

hunkermunker · 25/07/2006 20:46

Ach, he won't even consider going anywhere other than his nappy or the bath, Marsy - I just had this advertised at me and wondered if it was any good.

I'm a FTM with a PFB when it comes to stuff like this, ya see

Pull yourself together, woman. Spend it on booze.

My 3yo piddles standing up and he's not uncommonly tall

fruitful · 25/07/2006 20:52

umm... so instead of teaching him to pee in the loo, you're supposed to teach him to pee in a little bowl and then empty it himself? We're going to give a 2-yr-old a little container of pee to put into the loo? A little container at hand-height? And this is supposed to result in less mess?

Aaaarrrrrgh! [screams and runs away]

MarsLady · 25/07/2006 20:53

Thank you fruitful!!!!!!!!!!!

See hinker..... mentalist nobbo [sic]

hunkermunker · 25/07/2006 20:55

I actually think DS1 would be fine emptying it himself and not tempted to "wash" his hands in it.

I think...

Oh, he's not ready, I shall leave him in nappies till he starts school and someone else can do it for me

Why can't they just wee sitting down, and teach themselves to do it standing up when they go to school? (or am I outing myself as the laziest mother ever?)

PiccadillyCircus · 25/07/2006 20:56

6 simple steps?

(Not that DS wees standing up yet, but his preferred route of stand on step, climb onto toilet seat, wee (carefully "poking his willy in"), climb off, dab loo roll around the place seems to work OK .

PiccadillyCircus · 25/07/2006 20:57

It gets better .

Toilet training trauma

Toilet training is traditionally a stressful period for both child and parent and until now only inadequate stools and potty seats have been utilised.

A condition in small boys, called ?toilet training trauma? is becoming increasingly recognised by industry professionals, who claim that this condition is the result of unsuitable toilet training aids available for small boys.
The confusion of having to ?sit like Mum? and the embarrassment of mess on the floor develops into a reluctance for the toilet and often results in increased accidents and bedwetting.

PiccadillyCircus · 25/07/2006 20:58

serenity I am planning to go down that route too.

fruitful · 25/07/2006 20:59

Anyway, that one doesn't flush. You need this one for a PFB.

What a descriptive term that is - PFB I mean. My PFB didn't want the lovely toilet-training seat I bought her and preferred balancing precariously on the grown-up seat. For my NSB (Neglected Second Born) I think I may purchase a plastic bottle. For standing-up weeing.

hunkermunker · 25/07/2006 21:01

I'm actually getting this one for my PFB

fruitful · 25/07/2006 21:04

But there is one that rocks.
