Why, oh why, can’t little boys hit the toilet? After cleaning the boys bathroom this morning, I feel like I have to go take a bath in Lysol. That’s all I have to say about that.

When we moved here, I specifically wanted a house where the boys had their own bathroom and the girls had their own bathroom so that I didn’t have to clean the boy’s bathroom anymore! Now, once a week, they clean their bathroom and that is the only day that I actually walk into that bathroom. Now if I could just get both my husband and I separate bathrooms!

Clorox wipes on the back of the toilet. Severe consequences for not using them.

Am I to understand that potty training my little boy is not going to be that much of a benefit for me? Curses.

Since made to clean his own bathroom growing up DH then decided on becoming a sitter…problem solved, even to this day! (Hey, I never have to complain about the toilet seat being left up!)

My husband is one of six brothers. He likes to tell the story of how they used to stand around the toilet at the same time and “cross their streams” a la Ghostbusters. I’m a little skeptical—first, how do you fit six people around a toilet? And second, he was like 15 when Ghostbusters came out. Maybe I’m just really hoping it’s not true.
My 11 year old son has excellent aim now, so maybe there’s hope for your boys.

Seriously! We periodically have aiming lessons for FHE. We float those goldfish crackers in the bowl and my husband demonstrates his technique.

My son still prefers to sit on the toilet. Hurray! How long that will last, though, I’m not sure…he’s only 3…

Makes me grateful that I have only daughters.
Not exactly related but my biggest pet peeve is when men do not put down the toliet seat after using it. Maybe you could offer a FHE lesson on that!

Well, Jen in your house, he BETTER put the seat down! Talk about outnumbered!

My son isn’t toilet trained yet, but he uses the potty periodically. Even when he does sit, though, like others have said, there is usually some that comes out. We already keep lysol wipes in his bathroom, though, and I think I will make HIM use them as soon as he is able.

I forgot to mention that in the basement, my sweet husband is having a urinal put in! Not much more to say than that!

Awesome! All the men-folk can pee down there, and you and the girls can have the seats permanently glued down upstairs!

oh I can totally relate. Four men/boys in my house… one still in diapers, two with the worst aim… we’re talking on the shower curtain… the floor, the walls, and that little place on the side of the toilet where the screws are covered by the little caps… how does so much pee get down there?

Last time we installed a new toilet we searched and searched for a model that didn’t have those little caps and all those ins and outs and curves–I wanted a toilet that just went straight down to the floor with no little crevices for the pee to hide. Those toilets costs THOUSANDS of dollars–and I’m sure the people who buy them don’t have to clean their own toilets anyway!

Hey! We have fun little patterns by our comments! That’s pretty neat! (okay, so maybe I have a little too much free time!)

bythelbs - your comment is making me laugh so hard, I’m crying! “Cross the streams” - so funny!
I think a urinal is an awesome idea.

It was a sad, sad day when my oldest decided that he needed to stand up to be like Dad. My youngest has never sat for that. Ew. At least Dad has good aim.

With little boys it is how much lands outside of the bowl, with little girls its how much goes in. We have FHE lessons on how many squares is an appropriate ammount. The plunger is a permanent fixture in our bathroom!
