My 3 year old son insists on sitting on the bowl (seat up) when he goes to the toilet. That boy is stubborn as! :/

No. You can't.

And not in the shower either.

How would you know if he peed in the shower?

Since I don't live with anyone, I'm curious to know what the deal is with leaving the seat up. Personally, I always close the lid since I think it looks more orderly.

If people are in the habit of sitting down without checking wouldn't it be almost as awkward to sit down on a closed lid? Just drier...

See in my house, this is just good common sense, but as you get more intimately acquainted with friends, you find that you are in the minority for feeling this way...

I have always left the lid down. I got my wife into the habit, too. I hate seeing into a toilet when I walk into the bathroom. We also have no stories of dropping cell phones or other items into the toilet, unlike some of my friends.

You've never gone to sit on the toilet in the middle of the night and fallen in, have you? I'm forever grateful to my MIL for teaching my husband to put the seat down every time.

We're a seats-down family. Ever since I read about toilets spewing bacteria out with every flush, there's no way I would ever live in a lid-up household. And, well, since my husband moved in with me, not vice versa, that was my rule. Tongue

I could deal with dirty socks on the floor and empty cheese wrappers left lying on the counter, but I would not live with toilet seats up. And so when my sons arrived, they all became toilet-seat-down people, too.

We're a lids down. Partly because of the toilet spewing bacteria thing, partly because I don't like to walk in and see one of my pets drinking from the toilet.

what's wrong with peeing in the shower? urine is sterile; it's not going to hurt anything, lol.
