Now he stands because he's tall enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-411615 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 13:34:53 +0000 SugarplumsMom 411615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we ever have a son, he'll sit. There was an interesting article a few months ago about how the norm is to sit in some EU countries! A lot of men sit here as well because we have unisex public bathrooms with it's own stalls, sans urinals! </p> <p><a href="http://www.thelocal.de/society/20120510-42465.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.thelocal.de/society/20120510-42465.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-411604 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 13:26:49 +0000 banana 411604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He sits! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-399645 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 14:07:15 +0000 brownie 399645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sitting and pointing his peeny down. We haven't had to change pants yet. And at 18 months old peed in every potty at Disneyland. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-399643 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 14:07:00 +0000 Mrs. Pen 399643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hopefully sitting!! not even DH can aim right, I doubt a 2-3 year old would :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-399633 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 14:04:46 +0000 sarac 399633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully sitting. I don't do cleaning pee off my toilets. Men in my house are invited to sit down or to clean it themselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-399378 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:46:58 +0000 WALLAROO 399378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good to know. This didn't even cross my mind! I just assumed they started standing. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-399359 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:40:16 +0000 BoogieBea 399359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We trained him sitting but now he stands. I think it's from a combination of seeing his dad and other kids at school. It's actually less messier standing once he learned to control where the stream went. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-399345 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:36:26 +0000 Adira 399345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: I know, right??? My Hubs would have probably done the same thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-399327 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:31:59 +0000 ValentineMommy 399327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Thank God someone told me. I'm sure DH would try to have him stand and pee all over the place. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-398901 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:36:38 +0000 Adira 398901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: Agree with you 100%!!! I have a boy on the way and this never even occurred to me! Sounds like sitting is the way to go though when the time comes! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-398879 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:28:28 +0000 ValentineMommy 398879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS isn't even here yet, but I never even thought about it! Sigh - thank God for you ladies, or else I'd never know what to do with a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-398812 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:13:31 +0000 .twist. 398812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both our boys were trained sitting. I don't think the eldest has started standing up yet though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-398809 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:12:36 +0000 chopsuey 398809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just kidding. the pic's too small to see :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-398802 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:09:23 +0000 mrbee 398802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sitting. Sometimes he stands though, because he wants to be like his dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-398797 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:06:46 +0000 pelikila 398797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sitting because my son just wasn't ready for standing. My husband is making him a special stool and will be taking on teaching him to pee while standing in the near future but sitting made a lot more sense for us. I think some of it can depend on the age you potty train. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-398754 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 09:50:18 +0000 Alivoo01 398754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No LO, but from baby sitting and watching all the LOs grow up around us, they were all taught to sit first. Standing was later on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-398631 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 09:18:50 +0000 mrs. wagon 398631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sitting. The daycare suggested teaching him how to go standing because he was wetting his pants when he was trying to go sitting, but I just can't see how that would be more successful! We have to help him push his wee-wee down every time he pees, which is annoying :( but easier than diapers!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-potty-train-your-boy-to-pee-standing-or-sitting#post-398596 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 09:09:25 +0000 chopsuey 398596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Curious.<br /> I think we're gonna make our boy sit when he pees at home </p>
