After her husband decided their sons should stand to pee, a mom found herself dealing with a messy bathroom situation. The boys, who didn’t have great aim, left the bathroom in a less-than-ideal state. Fed up, the mom assigned her husband the new chore of cleaning the toilets, floors, and walls in the boys’ bathroom. While he complied, he wasn’t too happy about the unilateral decision. But as they say, you’ve got to clean up the mess you create!
