Here's my take on it. (Just my opinion everyone, so put away the flame
throwers! Sheesh!!)

1) How do you feel about a father accompanying his very young daughter

into
the women's restroom to use the facilities? Would you feel threatened or
offended, or would you understand the situation?


You know, I've never thought about this or seen it happen. Can't really say
what I'd think. I'm sure the problem also comes up when a elderly person (or
a disabled person) has a caregiver of the opposite sex. Hmmm.....

2) If you, or your family has experienced this problem with

dads/daughters,
how did you address it?


I can't remember how it was addressed when I was a wee one. I lived with my
Dad for 3 months every year, and I'm sure I had to use a restroom at some
point, but I can't remember ever being accompanied. I know I didn't go into
the men's room, because the very first time I was in a men's room was on my
honeymoon. (Yes, there's a story behind that!) Of course, I can't remember
being accompanied by MSM, either, except at the airport way back when they
had pay toilets. (Bless you, March Fong Eu!)

3) Not important, but I am starting to get "looks" at having my little

boys
in the facilities with me. Do any of you take offense at boy children, say
under 10, in the woman's restroom with their mothers?


None at all. As long as I have enough privacy to do what I need to do, I'm a
happy camper.
