Put the Toilet Seat Down!
Do you enforce that boys put the toilet seat back down when finished?
I have 1 boy and 3 girls who are potty trained. My boy CONNOT remember to put the seat down. I always have him go back in, put it down, and wash hands again. He has now started complaining that the girls don't put the seat UP for him :lol: I have always trained the boys to put the seat back down when they are finished. I feel it's just common curtesy/manners. I have never had one struggle this bad to remember. He's 4.5 and very smart. It sounds so minor, but drives me crazy! What do you do? |
I am just happy when they remember to lift it before going. I am tired of having to decon it and wait for it to dry before the girls can go. :Sunny:

Everyone closes the lid before flushing.

FTR, I close the lid and flush.
I want to know if they actually went. I also want to know if urine is too dark and if stool is too hard or too loose. I want to know what I am dealing with. :ouch: I also want to know what they would be flushing. Shoes, socks, pocketed toys, half a roll of TP, you know... preschool stuff. :ouch: I have a septic tank in rocky soil, mishaps get spendy really fast. My last big hit was $19,000 |

It only happens sometimes, my husband just just as bad as my boys, but I live in a house of males, and part of me just has given up, I know it will get left up. But if i get it closed 75% of time i can live with it.

In all the years I've been in this business I guess I have never ever given a single thought as to whether the lid should be up or down.
Unless I am the one using the toilet and don't take a second to look to see if it's up before I sit. :ouch: :o I do have to say however, I am on his side; the girls don't leave it up for him. ;) :p |
Maybe it's time to invest in one of these:
https://flushdowntoiletseat.com/ "The Flush-Down Automatic Toilet seat closes the toilet seat & lid for you - every time you flush. Installation requires no tools or special knowledge and takes 10 minutes. When installed, the Flush-Down virtually disappears, keeping your bathroom clutter-free." |
not just the seat, EVERYONE must close the lid before they flush.

If it's just the seat, and not the lid, then he has a point. Include the lid and there are no arguments. |
