Young boys going to the toilet question

**2BlueBirds** · 01-02-2015 22:10

Ds is 5yrs old and when he urinates, he stands up. Now he pulls his pants and underpants all the way down past his bottom (so you see his bottom).
I've tried to teach him to just pull the front down, but he doesn't remember.
Now, he starts school this week and I'm wondering if it's "normal" for boys his age. Otherwise I'll tell to go into the cubical rather then urinals.

my 4 year old ds does the same thing. I just thought it was normal.

My son is 4 and doesn't pull his pants down but he's super lazy so doesn't surprise me. It hasn't been a taught thing for my son but maybe noticed from his daddy.

Both my boys pull their pants down.
They are 5 & 3, if they didn't they'd wet themselves most times I think.

I think it's normal. My DS isn't toilet trained yet but I remember my little brother doing it

Totally normal and probably a good thing as I found when my boys didn't pull them down that far they would often manage to urinate on their pants somehow.
