This is a big deal. Some women don't understand this. My wife tried making my young son pee sitting down because he had little hose control. I explained to her that part of being a man is the ability to pee standing up. I met her half-way and promised to imart my fatherly wisdom to my son by showing him how to properly pee standing up without making a mess.
The question is, did you teach your young son to lift the seat or to try to aim through it?
You know those carpet covers for the toilet lid? I hate them. If you have one of them installed, the seat won't stay up unless it is held. And what man can pee using only one hand? And wives get mad when there are sprinkles on the seat.
I bought my wife a high gloss oak seat and lid, not she doesn't want to cover it up.
That's the spirit! XD
Both my boys learned how to pee sitting down. Not intentionally just being a woman that's the only way I know how to go. =P Daddy had to teach them the other way.
Boys learn masculinity from Men so don't blame your wife if your son is a sissy.
My most endearing memory of my son as a little boy was when we went to the theatre one day and after the movie was over we went to the bathroom together.
He took the little urinal beside me and as I was doing my business I heard laughter in the line behind me and looked down and saw he was peeing the only way he knew how.
He had pulled his little britches down around his ankles and was standing there with his little butt pointed at the crowd. Then I taught him how the zipper worked.
