How can i make him stop?

Question

My younger cousin brother he is 17,everytime he uses the bathroom he dont wipe off the seat nor he flush,I have told him so many times even yelled at him couple of times.his excuse is he forgets about it because while he is in the batheroom he would be thinking about something and flushing and cleaning the seat totally skips his mind.What should i do?

Answer 1

Very simple solution. Whenever he is at your place, please lock the bathroom. When he asks why its locked tell him that you are tired of cleaning up after him and that he doesnt know how to use the bathroom so the new rule is "if a person doesnt know how to use the restroom, then a person shouldnt be using it". He will then request for the key, dont give it to him but tell him that you need 10 to 15 minutes to think about it. Let him hold it for that time. When he asks for the keys after 10 or 15 minutes tell him that you are still undecided (still thinking) if he is responsible enough to have the keys. Finally give him the key but not before 20 to 30 minutes. After holding it for that long he wont forget easily. When you give the keys, remind him what needs to be done after he goes or plays with himself. While he is in there, knock again on the door and ask him if he is ok or does he need you to call his mum on the phone to tell him what to do. When you do this put on your poker face and MEAN what you say. If he still doesnt do it then lock it again the next time he is over and JUST DONT GIVE HIM THE KEYS even if he does it in his pants. If he does go in his pants, then rest assured he will never forget. If he doesnt soil his pants , just holding it will also make him never forget. I will bet you he wont forget......... (hows your foot and hope you are feeling better.............. later.

Answer 2

If he's 17 and he doesn't know how to use the bathroom properly, that is a problem. I've gotta wonder if he's so lost in thought while he's in there, does he remember to wipe his butt?

When he walks out of the bathroom, every single time, whether people are around or not, ask him - did you wipe off the seat and flush the toilet? After he gets embarrassed enough times, he'll remember.

Answer 3

1. Embarass him about it. Or have a married man speak with him about it. Living in a house with women, one always needs to lift the seat. Even just wiping it off is sort of gross.

2. It sounds like he is really lazy and distracted. Encourage him to sit down to pee. That should at least help with the seat issue.

3. Stay on him. In this case, it's almost like potty-training 2.0. Clearly there were elements of the first go-around that didn't take. Keep pushing it and get others in the house (like his mother + father) to do the same.

Answer 4

I have 2 little sisters too, that when I was a couple years younger, that I had to share a bathroom with. They left nasty spit and toothpaste, and didn't wipe the toilet either. I ended up telling my parents, and they really helped out. Tell someone else about it if u can, I think that the answer about embarresing him is a good idea too.

Answer 5

1) purchase an electric fence power amplifier
2) run the red wire into the toilet's water
3) solder the black wire onto a metal plate.
4) place metal plate in front of toilet
5) turn on power amplifier
6) wait for him to use the bathroom.

you'll know it when he does.

seriously tho, maybe you should rig the door to lock him in, then when he pounds on it wanting out, you can just politely ask him if he's finished cleaning up after himself

or you could just leave the seat up

Answer 6

Make a rule in the house . . .

Every time that someone uses the bathroom make him clean the toilet and when someone leaves the bathroom make him flush the toilet.
Until he cleans and flushes the toilet him self after using it.
( him=brother )

Answer 7

Do something really disgusting to something he likes. For example, when the hubby doesn't clean out his lunchbox, he might find it in his tackle box. My favorite is when the kids leave their wet towels on the floor in the bathroom and they find the wet towels on their favorite pillow, which means their pillow is wet when they try to sleep.

Answer 8

Let's see...
Do him like a dog and rub his nose in it
put a reminder note on the note so when he's going to the bathroom, it's staring him right in the face. You can buy plaques that says something like " IF YOU SPRINKLE WHEN YOU TINKLE, PLEASE BE A SWEETIE AND WIPE THE SEATIE"
Try leaving the seat for him like that too, see how he likes it.

Answer 9

write a note and leave it on the inside of the toilet seat that way when he lifts the lid hel have a constant reminded staring him in the face!

Answer 10

get one of your "girl" friends to stay at the house and make sure he likes her and tell him that the only way to a girls heart is to flush and clean the toilet because girls like them clean.
