Hi Starlite, Nah, you're not weird because you disagree with the toilet seat thing....it's just that since we do most everything to pick up after the guys and try to keep up the inside of the home, it would be so very nice for a change to have a guy keep the toilet seat clean and dry and place it in the down position with the lid down too when he is finished peeing. He most certainly does sit down on it eventually.
Besides, if you have a Fido, you might want to keep him out of the toilet also and keep the water from splashing all over when he takes his drinks from the toilet.
This isn't a matter of a battle in the home but rather training a male in how to be courteous to a woman...much like we ask them to remove muddy boots and not traipse mud though the entire home.
In turn, they train us in what makes them happiest....a good meal, lots of lovin, and a home that's clean enough to be healthy but not necessarily always tidy. And each family has their list of things that makes their home a home and their family happy.
Ya don't need to run for the straight jacket.....just let your guys know that you are special and this is one of the ways that they can show you that they care. It's not to late to train them. I trained my 2 males. It becomes habit for them after awhile to place the toilet seat down. You won't regret it Starlite!!
