Males peeing on toilet seat!

30 replies

notremotelyintofootie · 26/03/2011 09:04

arghhhh not sure if this is the right place but I need help....

Ds (11) and dh(40) have a disgusting habit of peeing on the toilet seats and not wiping them after so I go in and either remember to wipe or if it's middle of night end up sitting in it! Angry

I have tried asking nicely, I have shouted, I have even left post it notes but they still bloody do it!!!!

I have told ds if he can't pee properly he has to sit down to do it but still puddles! Both deny being responsible despite evidence and I am at my wits end....

Help?????

DH doesn't do it but I have two sons - 9 and 7 - and not only do they not lift the seat and wee on it but they also seem to wave their willies around and pee over the floor. On one memorable occasion one of them got up in the night, clearly didn't bother to look/wake up and wee'd on the toilet - with the lid down. I was met by a river of wee the following morning.

I have a friend who also has two sons and they're banned from using the downstairs loo. They can only use the main bathroom upstairs and they have to sit! They're now 13 and 9 - and still have to do it!

There was a house near MIL's where a man had lived with his 4 sons for over 40 years. When he died they had to replace the bathroom floorboards as they were rotten from all the wee.
OP, ban them from standing up to wee.

i wouldnt stand for it! Grin seriously, i think its totally disrepectful and i would insist on them sitting down!

brass · 26/03/2011 11:50

You are not alone. This is why I've taken to hovering above the seat as the default position.

I'm thinking the next step is to give them some rubber gloves and make them clean it every weekend. See if that curtails the spray factor.

jesuswhatnext · 26/03/2011 11:57

hmm, i wandered off and thought about this for while - it really is so totally disgusting that i would be raging by now - ask them what they would think if you started pissing on the living floor and leaving it there for them to tread in?

its absolutly bloody vile and there is no excuse, it shows total disregard for your feelings - WHY THE BUGGERY BOLLOCKS SHOULD YOU CLEAN THE PISS OF A GROWN MAN??

start leaving bloody tampons floating in the bowl!, might focus their minds a bit!

i know it seems a petty thing to get worked up about, but to me, its about thinking of others and showing a little respect!

beingsetup · 26/03/2011 14:33

Its terrible! I've given up and bought baby wipes and before I sit down I clean the toilet bowl!

Sitting in someone else;s wee is actually soul destroyingGrin Until you can kick them into shape just buy the wipes and clean the bowl lol!

NettleTea · 26/03/2011 14:54

my ex used to do this, its really revolting, but just about what he thought of me and our marriage tbh. I second the bloody tampons - start forgetting to flush!
Nothing worked with my ex Im afraid, apart from kicking him out. I think the cleaning responsibility may help. Or pissing in their shoes.

Well today we have had a chat about chores and they have agreed which ones they are responsible for and that includes dh keeping downstairs bathroom clean, I also asked if they were marking territory like dogs!!

I am going to start Calling them into bathroom each time I find it again..... It is a lack of respect!

I hate sitting in wee- gross, gross, gross!! Somehow it's 10x worse in the middle of the night!! I'm always telling my son off about this.

Tortington · 01/04/2011 22:11

i cannot offer a strategy other than compltete outrage. li tolerate most things - you would be astounded at the shit i tolerate - but i am apoplectic if

a) i sit on someone elses urine

b) they leave the toilet seat up.

now this is how i deal with it

i shout and rant and rave and i go on and on and bloody on - and it might take hours.

these are called my 'lectures' and are well known by all in the household.

now, its easier to put the seat up

piss

put the seat down

than is is listen to me go on and on and on about it like a fucking wailing banshee calling them disgusting fucking disrespectufl BASTARDS for letting me sit on their pee

if they think its ok for ME TO SIT IN PISS

then i shall piss int heir beds

on their seats

in their books

its not fair that i get to sit in piss because they have a total lack of thought and respect for me

how fucking dare they
HOW
FUCKING
DARE
THEY
they are supposed to love me

do you love me?

do you?

and yet - you think its ok for me to sit in your PISS

YOUR FUCKING PISS

that kinda did it

needless to say i dont sit in piss

cabbageroses · 01/04/2011 22:16

My mum used to have a saying:
Point Percy at the porcelain.

Basically they need to get a grip and direct it- not look around the room and let it shoot out all over.

If your DH has not told your DS to do this- do it yourself.

On the same token- too many women leave public loos with their calling card t-- do they never look back at the seat and wipe up THAT DROP?

I often lift the seat and sit on the porcelain- it's a lot cleaner.

FertilityFairy · 01/04/2011 22:46

Custardo - you have made my week. PMSL! Tears rolling down my cheeks.

I have one DH and 2 DS's and they all do this. Not so much on the seat - they do lift it usually. But all over the rim. I have watched my DH come into the bathroom while I am brushing my teeth, pee all over the rim and then just walk away. It makes me want to weep.

I am going to print out your post and stick it the bathroom wall.

BristolJim · 01/04/2011 22:55

I always leave the rim, seat and floor spotless as every man should, but why on Earth should I leave the seat down? Why can't you leave it up for us?

greentomato · 01/04/2011 23:24

Brilliant Custardo, just brilliant. My sides hurt. I think I might frame your post and display it in the bathroom.

greentomato · 01/04/2011 23:25

You too then FertilityFairy!

aylsham · 02/04/2011 00:13

I know it won't top them peeing on the seat if they don't lift it, but has anyone tried the self-closing seats which would stop them leaving them up. I was thinking of getting one and wondered if it would help with the seat being put down, Can't find any review of them anywhere. Anyone?

Morloth · 02/04/2011 00:35

I think it shows very much what they think of you.

DH and DS1 both manage to get the wee into the toilet (well they may not, but they certainly don't leave it for me to clean up).

They do now leave the toilet seat up but as I have claimed the ensuite as the girl's toilet the main bathroom is very much the boy's so it is perfectly reasonable for them to leave the seat up.

Ask them why they think it is OK for you to have to clean up their piss.

MillsAndDoom · 02/04/2011 09:22

Grin at custy

alypaly · 02/04/2011 09:27

Bristol..........toilets look awful with their seats up. they have a lid for a reason. Both the seat and the lid should be kept down for the next person. It just looks nicer. I wouldnt want to see under the seat in some toilets arggghhh

anewyear · 02/04/2011 09:39

Bristol - you must be one in a million..

I have hubbie and 2 boys of my own, Im also a childminder who looks after 2 more boys every day after school, my down stairs loo positivley hums and needs mopping/wiping down every day.. Hmm

PercyPigPie · 02/04/2011 09:45

I make mine clear up when I find it. It focuses the mind a bit.

This week I caught DS standing to the side of the loo - now I understand why I often have to wash down the walls, it was shooting straight over the top of the loo over to the other side.

OP - I'd dip a few tampons in red food colouring and leave lying around.

Niceguy2 · 02/04/2011 10:44

Just put the loo seat up when you've finished. That way at least the loo seat is up when they pee.
