I don't think toilet cleaner and cats mix.


They do, but usually only once!

the toilet has both a seat, and a lid (cover)
it looks much nicer when both are down (when the toilet is not in usse)



I agree.

someone deleted my post from last night, odd

anyway, what I said was that the rule is seat up in this house so my 6 year old has no delays and has half a chance of hitting the bowl rather than bouncing off the seat

hes 10, and as soon as i can get him to lift it up before going then i will certainly start teaching him to put it back down afterwards.

So i guess im looking at at least 21 before we master the art of it. But hey i know 40 year olds who still have a problem so what the hell

No problems in my house, unless we have visitors.

Then, my son goes ape, if the seat and/or lid, have been left up.

Why?

He watched a programme on tv when he was about 9 years old, showing how many germs are sprayed into the air and how far they spread.

Should be made compulsory viewing IMHO.

I'm the same with some of the others, getting my son to lift the seat would be a miracle in itself, but in saying that he does wipe the seat when he's done, now all i have to do is get him to flush the bloody thing grrrrr.........

yes i think they must, their survival instinct regarding toilet seats is very strong. over the generations womens internal organs have evolved so that they can breath through their butts. this allows them to talk and talk without having to pause to breath in. now however an open toilet seat causes great fear for a woman as they are scared they might not notice it is up, sit down on the toilet, slip down into it, and drown

OP.... what are you doing? You must teach your children, whatever sex to put DOWN the toilet seat and COVER before they FLUSH!!!!!
I'm sure if you Google for the facts you will be doing it yourself too!

The reason is to stop the germs and spray being shot into the air and landing on your toothbrush.
Think about it! Would you really want to clean your teeth with the water from inside the toilet?

..........and don't forget to educate your visitors if they use your bathroom!

the best explanation I could give, according to you lot, is because it looks better. oh please, surely there has to be a better reason than that after all the fuss I've heard over the years


yep the reson is... because you were told to.

As a single female in what was a house of 4 men , it used to drive me mad the fact that it seemed impossible to hit the 'target'. I mean , how hard is it to point and pee???? I had a few near misses over a wet seat and once having caught my youngest peeing on the seat I made him sit on it ( cruel mum!)...'Thats what it feels like' I said.

Now that youngest is 20 , 6ft 2 , wont make him to that again. On a side issue , I think he may have the biggest bladder in the world. In the morning it sounds like a waterfall for ages !!!!!!! ...hope he is getting it in the bowl!...eurgh

I would rather expect many single mothers' would teach their children right from wrong. As some would not teach them right from wrong - I believe within my own mind this could be construde as a cras generalisation of just single mothers'. When In fact, even two parents living together can even fail to teach their child the basics' of right from wrong.

I've always had cats, and at least one that wants to drink out of the toilet. So from a young age, I've taught my lad to put the lid down, so the cats don't get poisoned with the toilet cleaner in the pot.

If he leaves the lid up, and a cat dies, it's all his fault. No pressure though lol.

I've always put the seat and lid down no idea if I was taught to do so just something I do. But I do hear my mom moan if any guests leave it up (after they have gone) so figure it's just aswell I do. Don't really take me anymore effort to do it.

I always lift the lid and seat before going, then always put them back down again before flushing. Never got taught to do it, it just makes sense.

The lid is there, in my view to stop you dropping anything down the toilet that you shouldn't, as has been mentioned already. Like razors, toothbrushes, hairbrushes, etc.

Yes, i agree. It looks better and tidier.

I never even learnt my three boys to lift it up in the first place.
The little one sits on it,and the two elder ones just pee with the seat down,they have never lifted it

Personally I think the seat should be left up, let women do all the work of putting the seat down to wee and then lifting it afterwards! They've had it too easy for too long!

Well to be honest my lads used to pee sat down, no mess was good.
Now they are nearly hitting puberty im forever telling them to put it back down,and when they first started peeing stood up i learnt them how to use a mop,was getting like the bus shelter
