My Wife bought a package of Pampers, set it on the back of the toilet and them we made them clean the bathroom without saying anything about the diapers. Afterward the Misses threatened all three with wearing diapers if they continued to sprinkle the seat. We never had another miss and the diapers were given to a neighbor a few weeks later. Never under estimate fear! LOL. My boys are all grown now but back when they were 12, 10 & 7 their mother and I put a stop to the sprinkles (youngest's wordings).

(I know, SO funny, huh?) Anyhoo, one day it's one kid the next day it's the other. The real problem is when you smell it but don't see it. Ewww... My boys are hit and miss. (I know, SO funny, huh?)

I've only got one little boy potty trained so far, so I know who the culprit is. He's still too little to be a great cleaner, though. Sounds like you found something that works!

I stumbled across your blog recently. <br />With 3 boys, I had the same problem. I wasn't quite so lucky, though. I never could find out which one was the culprit. I made them take turns cleaning the toilet and that put an end to it quickly. lol Hi. I stumbled across your blog recently.

I only have one boy so the culprit is pretty clear. Luckily, he loves to clean the bathroom. So much so that he has offered to clean the neighbors bathroom for $1.00. <br />FlyLady has a great planner for kids, each day they clean a "zone", desk, closet, etc. One of the zones is the bathroom. Perhaps you could set the boys up on a schedule to do a quick touch-up every other day to further help keep things neat and tidy. Great idea! I only have one boy so the culprit is pretty clear.
