[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 712758, member: 1233"] Oh, no. I do that chore. It is one that I do NOT delegate. Hubby and I made a deal early in our marriage. If he would clean the toilets regularly (weekly and well, then I would lift the toilet seat when I was done. If I clean the toilet, he puts the toilet seat down. This came about because I was 8 months pregnant with Wiz and went to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I was mostly asleep and he left the seat up. I needed help. It was NOT an experience I wanted to repeat and I was about as happy as a wet cat. We had already had more than a couple of disagreements about this issue, and he thought I was just being an idiot about it. I just wanted to know, one way or the other, if it would be up or down. He always thought it was 'unfeminist' for women to demand that men put the seat down for them. So I agreed to lift the lid IF he would clean the toilet each week, meaning the ENTIRE toilet, not just the bowl. He didn't even last a week. He simply refused to clean the entire thing, or couldn't remember that more than the bowl had to be cleaned. I refused to go after him and nag him to finish the job. We had agreed that these parts all had to be cleaned, and he didn't do them. So the seat went down, and I took over the cleaning. It takes all of 5 minutes, and nobody falls in. [/QUOTE]
