Am I unreasonable to expect them to clean bathroom mess?

Urgh.

Settle something will you please.

I live in a house full of boys, men and assorted idiots.

Problem is they all make a mess of the bathroom. None of them can hit the bowl when they pee. I usually clean it up but today I reached the end of my tether and had a word (not a shout, a word) and told them they all needed to do better.

Instead of saying yes, sure, fine, sorry. I was met with a barrage of 'it wasn't me'. I then left it but my husband followed me in to the next room and started up the 'it wasn't me again' so I told him I don't care who makes the mess just clean the sodding bathroom. My husband then stormed out of the house like a man baby (so I guess I know who the main culprit is now! lol) and I'm left sitting here thinking WTF. Just clean up the pee!

They all think I'm the devil right now and it's utterly ridiculous. I have no plans to sooth my husband when he gets back in by the way and the kids have all been told to sulk in the garden while I have a cup of tea.

I'm not wrong for not wanting to live in a disgusting house am I?

I love the poster who suggested mopping up spills with their favourite t-shirts.
You could use a rota of their t-shirts.

Tell them to sit the fuck down. All the men I know in France sit to pee in their own homes.
