Dear Men in my Life,
We need to talk.
While I am excited that all three of you are now using the potty, I must let you know that we have a problem. Why is it that every time I enter the restroom, there is pee on the toilet seat? What is going on? What are you doing in there? Dancing?? While I am sure that the eldest of you is not to blame (sweetie, I know it’s not you) I feel, as the lone woman in the house, I must take a stand. I have rights you know!
Please. I am begging you. Wipe the seat! B-Man, I get that you are short and you’re just learning how to aim. It takes time to master the potty. I get it. But SM, you are six. You have three years of experience under your belt. Your aim should be like that of a sharp shooter – dead on.
So please, wipe the seat. No mother should have to walk into a bathroom in the middle of the night and find her self sitting down onto a seat sprinkled with pee.
Thanks,
Mom

I’m not an animal. The boys are still, yet, animals. Please anyone who reads this post understand one thing. I’m not a beast. Were I to go this route, I’d just spread wood chips throughout the house and ankle my shorts whereever necessary then let go.

ha ha ha.
I love DH’s ‘wood chips’ response.
Growing up in a house of men or actually boys wanting to become men, I have sat on my fair share of pee toilets. It is not pleasant.
We are near to raising a boy into potty trainingville, his bathroom will be off limits to all
Shannon, thank you for all of your wonderful comments. I appreciate you.

LOL. There is nothing worse than sitting in pee. I’ve had chats with them, asking them to wipe, but they just cant seem to “remember.”
I could have written this myself!! There is 1 toilet in our house that I look before I sit because you never know!
Oh I hear ya! Only my kids and DH do lift the seat…
But as my dad says, “No matter how you shake and dance, the last three drops go down your pants” — or on the floor in our house.
Gross! And my oldest dances around while peeing! What is up with boys! Just because you CAN stand, doesn’t mean you have to!
