It's a doozy of a subject isn't it? I'm lucky enough to have 2 girls and
most times we go out as a family so there are no hassles. HOWEVER, I have had boys out with us and have had to take them into the ladies. I usually manage to avoid the boys in ladies/girls in gents by using a disabled toilet. Yes I know they are supposed to be for disabled but sometimes it gets around this problem. Daddy takes girls into disabled toilet, no-one gets funny looks from either gender, in and out in five minutes. I think boys who are getting up to the 7-10 range should be okay to go into the gents with mum standing guard outside. And I don't think I'd like to find a man in the ladies either! -- Sharon From Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down Under) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/index.html Member of the Houston 2004 Party Animals "TwinMom" wrote in message ... OK, so to make this a bit OT, I was away this weekend at a quilting retreat (Had a GREAT TIME btw!) and the following item came up between DH & I. We have a 3yo DD and twin 7yo DS and our DD had to use the public restroom at McD's. DH took her into the men's room, which I found really gross, not only because the men's rooms are, generally, filthy, but I don't want her exposed (no pun intended) to strangers using the facilities. I felt he should be taking her into the women's rooms, whenever a single use or family restroom is not available. She is not old enough to go unattended and, after all, I take the boys, now 7, into the women's with me. A lengthy discussion has ensued, so I'm seeking the opinions of follow females, as many as possible, on the following issues: 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? 2) If you, or your family has experienced this problem with dads/daughters, how did you address it? 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? No flames please, I'm just trying to get a cross section of opinions from various ages, w/ and w/o children, etc. TIA Lorraine in Los Alamos |
