I read a thread on here the other day about a dad taking his daughter into the female changing rooms at a swimming pool. I had thought clearly he should have taken her into the male rooms if she wasn't able to change herself & that is what any sensible person would have done.
A friend said that her husband had been told off for taking his daughter (5) into the female toilets over the weekend. She didn't think he was in the wrong because the woman had a separate cubicle to use, he didn't want to leave his daughter to use the toilets by themselves & there wasn't a disabled toilet they could use (whole other thread I know). I asked why he hadn't taken her into the mens toilets & she gave me a that I would even suggest such a thing.
I have ds's & when they're with me, they come into the womens toilets (age 5 &2). When they're with dh they go into the mens. If we needed to change a nappy & the unit was in the disabled toilet we'd use that.
I get that sometimes mens toilets are a bit smellier & less clean than the womens, but unless they really were a health hazard & unusable I don't get why he wouldn't have taken her into the mens. Men don't generally wander around flashing their knobs in restaurant toilets do they?
Then I started wondering at what age will IBU to bring DS into the women's with me?
