Could you PLEASE...

[Tasha405]

Lift up the seat when you go pee so that I don't have to clean up after you before I can sit down. If you are too lazy to lift the seat, at least clean your own mess up! Then FLUSH! Its so easy.

Please TURN OFF THE LIGHTS when you leave a room.

Could you please pick up your own clothes after you take a shower and put them IN the hamper, not in front of it or beside it. It does have a lid and it DOES work.

Could you please put your own dirty dishes in the sink and if you happen to have food left on your plate, please be kind enough to put it in the trash before you do put it in the sink.

Paper towels don't go in the sink with your dirty dish so please throw them in the trash.

Ok, I think I covered all of it. lol I have 2 boys and a hubby living here and these are my pet peeves with them. Although I must say that my 3 yr old does do better at lifting the seat in the bathroom than my 12 yr old and hubby does. :rolleyes: When they do happen to put their dishes in the sink they stick them in there with food and a paper towel still on them. That makes me so mad! :mad: Its not hard to take your plate over to the trash can and rake it off. :rolleyes:

Thanks for reading and please feel free to add anything that bothers you at your house. :)

Ita With You And Could You Please Put Your Laundry Up,since I Wash Dry And Fold It For You!?

[rlynn411]

I can relate. If my kids leave their dishes on the counter I tell them they go to bed 15 minutes early that night, and that for each time they let dishes sit there. If clothes don't make it to the hamper,they dont get washed, I'll wash whats in there hamper but not whats left laying beside it. Leave the house and leave their light or TV's on, no problem......you just don't get to watch TV the rest of the night. That one they learn REAL FAST! I give them I'm not your maid and the money doesn't grow on trees speech!

Tasha, are you living in my house?? :p

My 3 year old is always telling her Daddy to put the lid down, 'cuz she falls in if he doesn't! :D

ITA!!! My hubby is the same way! DD is still too young to know any better (only 2), but even she throws her napkin in the trash AND brings her plate to the sink when she's done eating. LOL - guess it's just that male behavior!

[cch]

If I come in a room and there are dishes sitting around I make everyone come in and clean them up - the kids learned quickly it's better to pick up after yourself than everyone, but mine are all fairly close in age. What's your 12 year old love? Every time he leaves the lid up, light on, or dishes out take away his favorite thing for an hour. Eventually he will learn to do it on his own. But you have to stick with it for it to actually work. As far as hubby, I dunno, it's taken me 8 1/2 years to properly train mine, and only after constant nagging for 7 of it!

[schsa]

Try posting signs in RED LETTERS explaining the situation. Like raise the seat, don't tinkle on it. Or I don't wash napkins and paper towels so trash them.

Sometimes you have to be direct.

I've had the same thing happen to me. Ya get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom only to find out that your DH or one of your boys didnt bother putting the seat down and fall into what seems like the bottomless pit. :p :p

[ahippiechic]

Yeah and the water is so COLD! LOL! :D

[Lora_1994]

lol, yep, that it is. Nothing like having a wet a$$ at 2 in the morning

[freeplease]

I have a suggestion with the dishes. Wash them, then hide them. Only you will know where they are, so you'll have a plate. When they're all gone, guess who goes hungry? And I agree with not doing the laundry. The only way they'll learn it through doing without. Good luck, and watch out for that seat. It's a killer. ;)

[MamaFairal]

When my oldest DD lived with us she taped a little sign to the inside of the toilet lid seat that read "This is a house full of females pls put seat down when done"
Any males that used our potty always chuckled....but the seat was always put down also!

[BigLyd1]

I guess I'm kind of tough because I'd like to actually see the dishes rinsed and put in the dishwasher. Still irks me that 19-year-old SS doesn't do this. I should just give up. :rolleyes:

As for the laundry, when SS was young I used to pick up his clothes off the floor and then throw them in the laundry. Well he complained about it one time :eek: and that was that. Now he does his own which is fine with me.

[Army-Mom]

yup! when the kids was little and having two boys and hubby I learned real quick to turn the lights on before sitting down...feel into hole to many times :D

Thanks for all the replies! I'm so glad I'm not alone on any of this. lol :D

I've been thinking about putting signs up in the bathroom for all of this stuff. One that say PLEASE RAISE ME on the top of the seat lid and when they raise the lid & seat it will say LOWER WHEN DONE & FLUSH! I also need to make one for washing hands, picking up clothes & wet towels, brushing teeth and turning off the light.

I have to remind my 12 yr old to do everything. Its not that he forgets, he just doesn't want to do it. I mean, I've been reminding this boy to brush his teeth for 12 yrs now, how much longer does he need to know he has to brush his teeth??

I think I'll pick up some poster board while we are out this evening. ;) hehehe

I don't have any adult males in the house, but I am just glad that both my kids GO in the potty now, lol! :)

"If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie." I've seen signs that said that.
I worked in a grocery store when I was a teenager. There was a sign in the boys bathroom..."Brookshire's aims to please, so please aim."

After almost 21 years, DH picks his dirty clothes up, and does his own laundry( his work clothes get nasty and greasy and I'm not touching them). I have issues when people put dishes in the sink with food on them. The disposal switch is right beside the sink, use it.

Pee on the seat lid or forget to put the seat down around here and you've got 2 angry females to deal with.That doesn't mean he always remembers though.

LOL When I was potty training Wyatt I didn't know how to teach a little boy to pee so I never taught him to hold it and aim. Well, now he'll be 6 on monday and still doesn't aim. He just pulls it out and pees wherever it wants to. I should have thought ahead when I was teaching him, but I was just so excited for him to be out of diapers I didn't think.

I love the idea of hiding the dishes! My hubby used to come home from work and drop hid dirty uniforms on the floor. I finally just started kicking them under the bed instead of picking them up. After a week, SURPRISE! he had no clean uniforms! I just sweetly said, 'Well, I washed everything that was in the hamper". Never had that problem again.

As soon as he becomes interested in girls, hel'll brush. Trust me. lol

I've seen those signs done. You can actually buy the second one on a plaque so you can put it in public rooms.
