The girls they need to sit down to pee, and often badly accept the fact of having to stay in balance, or the moms they take it upon themselves to hold them by the legs while they do their business so that they do not touch anything, with sometimes disastrous results. 



The best way to do peeing in public restrooms daughters is to teach some tricks: always carry a disinfectant (now we all have a gel in our pocket, right?) and gods handkerchiefs in case there was no toilet paper: clean the toilet seat with gel and paper. If the bathroom is in good condition, nothing happens when you sit on the board, but if you don't trust it then you can apply some paper before letting the girls sit.

But consider two aspects, before you get horrified: the first is that sooner or later they will go to the bathroom by themselves, so it is better to get them used to hygienic practices but also respectful; the other is that if everyone sat down, no one would pee where they happen to be and the environment would certainly be cleaner.
