I’m a stay at home dad and discovered this parent hack with our son. My wife took our son to the library one day and was sharing with me her struggle of helping him use a public restroom. Our son insisted on standing to pee, but wasn’t tall enough to reach the toilet. She was telling me how thankful she was to find a small step stool in the library bathroom so that she didn’t have to hold him up in an awkward position like she had done before. I showed her my hack and how I just have our son stand on my feet so that he can reach better. She was so impressed and I was shocked that she and others didn’t already know this. We started telling other parents and I made a video to share this hack. My wife and I filmed this video in our home using our own ideas so that we could help other parents of little boys more successfully (and more sanitarily) use public restrooms. It was an exciting and comical learning experience. We have many friends we have shared this with who have used this hack and loved this simple solution.
