Either that or maybe you're suppose to give your husband a whirl every night before going to sleep? Could be fun.

My husband has blamed our child consistently but I know it was there before he was ever born. My biggest pet peeve is walking into each of our three bathrooms and being hit with that smell, or worse, finding it on my bare feet each and every morning. The husband is "supposed" to clean up after himself but it hasn't happened yet. Thanks for the heads up...at least I know there's a reason behind it. Still don't like it.

I've even witnessed a sleepy attempt to pee on the window. Go figure. I managed to divert that one in time. But girl, if you're having to clean pee up after your husband, it is definitely time for a smack down. That is not usual grown male behavior. At least not in my world of 3 males and a lady. Maybe other women have similar issues? Pee on the wall, floor, btdt. I’ve even witnessed a sleepy attempt to pee on the window. Go figure. I managed to divert that one in time.
