I recently walked into my bathroom to find it smelling of pee too and then found floor covered in a yellowish scum. When questioning my 4 (almost 5) year old - he admitted to peeing on the floor. Why he wouldn’t clean it up or at least inform me that he did it - is beyond me!

Accidentally peeing on a shower curtain are words that boys shouldn’t utter until college.

This phenomenon I know allll too well. The problem is: they get distracted. So if you call their name while they’re peeing, they turn their ENTIRE body (thus the pee on the shower curtain, the floor, the rim, the rug, etc.)

Bleach is my bestest friend.

Your friend A up there in the comments would probably have a fit to know my nearly 4 year old is nowhere close to potty trained.

But I’m reading this and thinking maybe it’s not such a bad thing now.

AMEN! My boys are 4 and 6 and their bathroom smells so bad it almost burns my eyes. Even if, like everyone else, I’ve scrubbed it from top to bottom not 10 minutes earlier. And I’ve seen with my own two eyes how they peeing-in-a-circle-around-the-bathroom thing happens. At least in our case it happens when the 6 year old yells “Hey Landis!” while Landis is taking a whiz. Apparently he hasn’t figured out how to just turn his head instead of turning his ENTIRE body.

That’s why my hubby cleans the upstairs bathroom. I have the three boys and the hubby using the same bathroom, and let me tell you that I avoid it like the plague. It ALWAYS smells like pee - even five minutes after it’s cleaned from top to bottom (they have radar for the clean bathroom). So, since it’s their inability to hit the potty, it’s their mess to clean up!

I am going through all of this now with my 3 year old. He is pretty much potty trained but pees all over the bathroom. I don’t understand how he does it. It must be an art!

I SO know that smell! My kid’s bathroom has to be scrubbed every day. Does your son put the seat up at least? I don’t know why, but my 8 year old has decided that he can pee just fine with the seat down. UGH!

I have to say, my boys aren’t THAT bad at aiming. They have their little mishaps, but nothing major. My friend’s son, however, was over the other day and I have NO IDEA what he did. There was pee on the tank of the toilet, on the lid, on the seat, on the floor, AND the shower curtain. I think he was twirling around in circles when he went!

Thank you so much for the Perfect Post award. It made me almost ridiculously happy.

And, yes, the bathroom my kids pee in REEKS of pee. We’ll clean it and 20 minutes later it reeks again.
