Janeway Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Company just arrived. I dash over to the bathroom to go. I sit down and quickly realize that I am once again, my 12-year-old victim. My backside is wet my rear end is wet all way up my lower back. The lid had been up and he Peed all over the place again. Now I'm going to have to excuse myself from the company just so I can go take a shower to get it all off and put on all new clothes. How humiliating! I have no clue why he will not stop this. My husband is talk to him many many many times about this. I am so angry. Edited January 1, 2017 by Janeway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Ok I'm totally with you on this one!!!!! That's too old to be peeing on the seat. Once your company is gone, institute the "clean bathroom" rule. He has to go in and scrub the bathroom each day until he goes a full month without peeing on the seat. Every day. No exceptions! I'm not usually hardcore but this one is a hill to die on! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 My ds was banned from using the hall toilet (the one used when we have visitors). He also never used the master bath (neither of my boys do, my dd does sometimes). I forget how long this was enforced, but it was a good thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 My ds was banned from using the hall toilet (the one used when we have visitors). He also never used the master bath (neither of my boys do, my dd does sometimes). I forget how long this was enforced, but it was a good thing. This is what we did too. They were confined to one bathroom, which meant that when we were homeschooling in the basement, they had to go up two flights of stairs to use the bathroom. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocassie Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 All I can think of is natural consequences - you make a mess, you clean it up. Since I don't know when or where, you have daily toilet cleaning duty as well as any time it's found to be peed all over. Not sure what the golden amount of time is though. At 12 at least a month doesn't seem excessive with the intention to reevaluate at the end to determine if the cleaning continues. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in NH Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 We taught our boys to go sitting down. Way less mess. I'd make it his daily chore to clean the toilet to my satisfaction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooksandBoys Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 We taught our boys to go sitting down. Way less mess. I'd make it his daily chore to clean the toilet to my satisfaction. We also expect our boys to sit down. If they decide as they age (oldest is almost 9) to fight me on this, there will Definitely Be daily bathroom scrubbing in their lives until they figure it out. Even if that takes 8 years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaraby Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Dh had ds sit down when he was younger. He moved to standing, but if he peed on the seat, the dh made him sit down again. That plus him being responsible for cleaning the toilet seems to have taken care of it. Sorry. That's a bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalsummer Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Perhaps if you left the seat up every time after you use the restroom (like some people insist that the seat be put down, but this would be the opposite) then he would have an easier time making it in the toilet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not ever advocate pampering a child at home so he can go pee all over other people's rooms and trash public restrooms. No. I crack down on mess makers. I will stand outside the bathroom and make them immediately clean it up. I will put them in charge of daily sanitizing the facilities. People who are required to clean up after themselves end up respecting the work put into it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucyStoner Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 We don't have this problem because they both insist on sitting. Note: I don't require them to. They just both sit. I think it's because my older son learned to use the potty very young and his little brother just followed his lead. I wish they would learn to pee standing up because neither will go in the woods while we are hiking or camping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieZ Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) I don't know how I escaped this disaster, but I am very, very grateful I did! For some reason, my son never peed in the wrong places, despite standing. . . Boys. Are. Gross.

HeWillSoar Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I have had that happen to me. It was one particular child. I think he waited until he couldn't hold it any longer and then when he would just explode. I made him clean it up but it happened on at least several occasions. I used to joke that I'd rather use a gas station bathroom than my own. He's older now and it hasn't happened in a long time. Hey, at least it happened to to you and not your company! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjeepa Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) We restricted my ds to the use of one bathroom too as others have mentioned. And, he had to clean that bathroom. That seemed to do the trick. He's much more careful. Edited January 1, 2017 by jjeepa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimm Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Is he doing this on purpose? This seems rather strange to me and not at all age appropriate. I grew up with five brothers lest everyone think I simply not know what it's like living with boys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) He would be scrubbing all the bathrooms until the behavior ceased. Edited January 1, 2017 by Slartibartfast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is twelve, not four. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
