I love my boys. I love them to pieces. I think they are the coolest.
I do not love pee all over the bathroom floor. Down the sides of the toilet, behind the toilet, on the floor, pretty much anywhere within 2 feet of the toilet. Gross gross gross. I tell them every time I clean the bathroom to aim in the water. Not towards the back of the toilet. Just in the water. I also tell them this every time I am in the bathroom with them–“Make sure to aim please.”
For the love! WHO told boys to stand up when they pee? They are perfectly capable of sitting to pee. It points down!!!!!!!!
I know who it was! Someone who NEVER had to clean up pee all over the bathroom.
Yesterday Carson used my bathroom. He came out, and after a minute I asked him if he flushed. He said, “No. I accidentally peed on the lid.” Me: “WHAT?! Why did you do that?” Carson, “It’s ok. I cleaned it up. I just had to pee really bad and my pee just started to come out before I put the lid up.” I took his hand and we walked into the bathroom to survey the damage. Pee everywhere. He did, like he said, “clean it up”. With about 2.5 squares of toilet paper. We got out the sanitizing wipes and he cleaned up every last drop. I went over it again after him, then today gave both bathrooms a good scrubbing.
Like I said, I love by boys. I might even love them a teeny bit more if they sat down to pee. Any words of wisdom? Besides that it will pass and someday I’ll think it’s funny?

he he he! I don't have any advice for ya. Sorry, the only problem you have with girls is making sure they lean forward.
… maybe that's why there was pee all over the bathroom wall after the cousin party! J/K, I bet it was Ryan! ;)

I dont know what my Mother-in-law did but my husband wipes the toilet down every time. I asked him once why…(Not that I was complaining) he said that his Mom made him his whole life. I wonder how she did that though. She had 4 boys living there.

Seriously, it's frustrating, isn't it? Ugh. I love Brittney's idea of having them wipe the toilet down every time!

No advice. Kael hardly ever has an issue. He's always been so good about it. Seth, however, so many times I really dont even think he tries to get it in the toilet. at all.

I'm STILL dealing with it and you know how old my boys are. Wiping down the toilet??? I wish! I'd like them to just remember to FLUSH! We wipe down the toilets BEFORE we use them. I shouldn't admit that – you won't want to visit us. When visitors do come I restrict my kids to my bathroom only. That's how much I sacrifice for my guests!

Haha. Sorry, I have no advice. I guess I'm just lucky so far… (knock on wood) hopefully the other two continue.
Good luck! :)
Andrea says
Advice? Maybe not. . .but I have heard about cheerios and making a game out of aiming at them in the bowl. Who knows? Good thing you're a clean person. THink if you weren't. . .I wouldn't ever use your bathroom!!! :)

Well, since Reese recently peed on the lid of the garbage can NEXT to the toilet… I have no words. I only feel your pain and several more years of it at that. All I could think was to say if he's ever that careless again, he'd be forced to sit. Period. Thank heaven for clorox wipes…
Amelia says
I did laugh only because jared and I just had almost the same thing happen about two days ago. I'm so glad for clorox wipes.
