little boys and toilets!

[janeyo]

I swear I am jinxed at the mo. We were in a tearing hurry in a play place this morning as my little boy was going to meet his grandma and have a half term 10 pin bowling treat (he's never been and was very excited).
He needs the loo. So off we go.
Can you hold me on mummy in case I fall in (he's only little and the loo was really high)
So I hold him on... then feel something warm and wet running down my leg. He's sitting at a funny angle and has managed to get wee everywhere except in the toilet!

I was not amused (it's quite funny now), and we ended up thanking TESCO who are just round the corner( never thought I'd say that) as they sell clothes. And we made it back for his bowling with seconds to spare... although we were nearly late as he insisted on 'Ben 10' pants and I couldn't find his size. It was quite funny dragging him along cos he likes to dawdle, and him doing the John Wayne shuffle with wet pants lol.

What is it with boys and toilets that they take years to get it right?!?

You mean eventually they do???

What she said!

[janeyo]

I hadn't thought that they might not ever get the hang of it - cripes!

Thank you for some *sort* of support Nicos.
Of course we get it right, and it isnt us who leave the seats in the wrong position either!!

We've had a few of those 'incidents' with our 3 year old. I make him wear a little rucksack with a spare change of clothes whenever we leave the house now. His new favourite trick is standing on the loo seat and trying to aim into the toilet, which normally ends up with wee going everywhere except in the toilet. It's so much easier when they're in nappies!

Borrowing Steve's login again... :-) I look after 4 boys and they get it everywhere - seat, floor, lid, wall...everywhere but in the toilet (and the 5/6 year olds are the worst!) We have tried all the tricks but nothing has worked so far! I should take out shares in a antibac wipes company :-)

Boys never get it right believe me I have four all grown up now and have left the nest

[Pootle]

You'd think it would be easy enough to aim...

Husband, two sons = wet floor

At my previous house the toilet fell through the floor of the bathroom floor 3 months after we moved in The floor had vinyl laid, but there was no sealing between that and the loo. When we took it up the floor was rotten and stinky. I can't believe OH rotted the floor in that time, his aim wasn't that bad , but someone's must have been. They did have 2 little boys.
When we laid laminate in the bathrooms here I insisted on sealing the gaps with silicone sealant, especially upstairs where the floors are wood, just in case. (3 males in the house!)

[Pootle]

We don't have this problem as OH (only male in house) is reasonably well trained...what I want to know is why my children can't get the used toilet roll in the toilet

Urm..excuse me- but why don't the guys who KNOW they miss sit down when at home- or visiting friends??

If they truly can't help it..and aren't being lazy..then I would have thought that doing that would have been a sign of respect.
Either that or take on daily toilet cleaning duties.
I honestly believe it's a matter of responsibility/respect for others going on here folks.
It's just not hygienic or publically acceptable to pee all over the loo/floor/walls.

If I accidentally made a bit of a mess inside/on a friends loo-( or mine) I'd clean it up before leaving the room!

For goodness sake blokes...there is really NO excuse..you should be ashamed of yourselves.

( for those of you who can honestly say you don't mess up a loo...then I send my respect in your general direction!)
