An Update

For those of you wondering....you know who you are. It is 10:25 AM and I have flushed the toilet three times after someone else's use. So, no, the sign is not making a huge impact. I am sure you are as shocked as I am.

Potty Talk

Please, remember to flush the toilet when you are finished!!

Yes, this is the sign that is now posted in our bathrooms. Two toilets shared by seven people really require a lot of maintenance. A LOT OF MAINTENANCE. (gross.)

All five of my children seem to have forgotten how to flush. Requiring EVEN MORE maintenance! (gross)

What happened to the day of potty training (not that I really want to go back there.) You know, when it was considered a treat to flush the potty? I wouldn't let them flush unless they had actually 'done their business' because it was such a positive reinforcement. Now it is like punishment.

I've tried everything. Sending them back to flush. Asking them in FRONT OF THEIR FRIENDS if they've flushed. Having them clean the toilets themselves.

So now, my poor pathetic little sign is all I have left. And, honestly, I don't have a whole lot of faith in it.

So, if you are talking to me on the phone and you hear the flushing, just know I've found someone's left overs.......again......
