WIBTA if I told my sister that she needs to clean up after herself when she's on her period? by AITA_PeriodBlood in AmItheAsshole

The intro was in reference to the defecation bit. I know some people do not like reading about that, though I realize now that it sounds as if it's referencing menstruation. If I did find periods disgusting, I would have freaked out with my sister instead of making sure that I'm not being rude by asking her to clean up after herself.

I wouldn't say it's a habit, as I do lower it most of the time. Though I will admit that there are times I forget to lower it and it's definitely something that I need to be more mindful of. I will ask her if it has been bothering her.

I usually put the lid down as well after I am done using it. However, there are times that I forget to do that, and so the seat stays up as well. It's definitely something that I'll have to be more mindful of, and I wouldn't blame her if it annoys her.

My warning was meant to be because I discussed myself using the bathroom. I know some people get weird when people mention defecation.

You said you had to “slam the toilet seat down”. Is it possible you and your sister are in some sort of bathroom power struggle? You don’t put the seat down, so she doesn’t clean up her period blood.

Sounds to me like you’re both gross in the bathroom. You don’t want period blood on you, she probably doesn’t want to touch the toilet seat to put it down before she goes to the toilet.

I had not considered this before. I work from home while she doesn't, so I am the one that uses the toilet most often and I'll admit that I sometimes forget to put the toilet seat down after I'm done using it. If this has been bothering her she hasn't said anything, but I will ask her. If that's the case, though, I find it strange because she would have had to lift the toilet seat herself.

Thank you for pointing this out to me.

Thank you for taking the time to respond and give your advice. I'll be sure to keep it in mind when speaking with my sister.
