Conservative Norwegians think forcing boys to pee sitting down is wrong

*lol* You know they should actually take a poll of the fathers and see how many actually pee standing up at home. Because of the men I know less than 20% pee standing up at home or at someone's house (it is different out where there are urinals or the toilets are dirty) I think it is probably the moms pushing for the boys to pee standing because that is what they think men do.

And anyone that is offended that a letter be sent home asking the parents to consider whether boys should sit when they pee is ridiculous

Between the post about peeing in the wastebasket and this one, I had to doublecheck my calendar to make sure April 1st hadn't snuck up on me.

I suppose if I were faced with that decision I'd tell them to stand at urinals (danger of falling in); their choice with a conventional toilet. I'm not sure there is a rule about standing or sitting unless you're writing your name in the snow.

Yeah so what did she tell the male teachers and employees? I've got enough brothers and other male relatives to know it's not only the kids that miss sometimes.

Personally, my germ phobia means I would never want my sons to sit on a public toilet, it's bad enough that my DD does. Both boys seemed so much easier to toilet once they were standing. It's a great convenience for boys to pee standing up.

It's a stupid shame conservative weirdos had to bring up all this God's design crap.

OK the picture is just gross.

That said... if the janitor has a problem with being a janitor... then why not hire a new one who wants a job??

I cant imagine telling the boys to sit on the toilet. It sort of seems disturbing to me.

Believe me, they make more of a mess sitting down than they do standing. It ends up shooting right over the toilet and onto the floor that way. :(

i was shocked, first of all that the word "piss" bothered me! This is not directed toward the author, but to myself. I swear on my own blog and under my breath all day long. To have such a simple word raise my eyebrows ...well its just weird LOL

my husband grew up in a house with five older sisters. he was taught to pee sitting downa nd to "tuck" his man parts. this eliminates the pee on teh floor as well, the "tucking" stops the pee from going between the seats. I have three sons now, each of them has been taught to pee sitting. When they go oit. One of their favorite parts is a public bathroom, as thats when they are allowed to pee standing.

However, i think it is wrong for the janitors to expect every boy to sit. First off, male bathrooms are just not designed that way. they have more urinals then stalls, usually. Should the school enforce that rule, they will have to re do all the bathrooms as well.

if the janitor does not want to clean the mess, hire one who wants to. i am sure it was in the job description, afterall. Besides, using a mop on a peed on floor isnot a gross thing to do. you are touching the handle of the mop, not the washing end!

Actually, a big part of the problem that you for some reason failed to mention here was that the schools have unisex bathrooms, and a lot of girls, and quite a few boys as well had complained about there being pee everywhere, getting on their clothes and shoes. A lot of kids would refuse to use the toilets at school. The janitors have other things to do besides cleaning the bathroom after every time someone has used them, so the principal asked the parents if they could tell their boys to sit down. I see NO problem with this, its about showing concideration for others!

And as for public toilets - they're dirty because people refuse to sit down, and either stand up or hover, thus getting pee everywhere. If everyone could sit down in the first place, you wouldnt have a problem.

Wow... I have never met a man who pees sitting.

Maybe it is regional????
