So.. it's the Easter holidays as many of us know.. I was out with a friend earlier picking up some tickets from my local theatre. Before heading home I headed to the loo with my DD. There was man and a lady in a wheel chair having a pop at a lady with a buggy and 4 young children. She was looking very stressed and upset. The man and the lady in the wheelchair were having a go at the poor lady for using the disabled loo (it does have a baby change).
They were ranting and raving at her about people taking advantage of facilities for disabled people.. she was trying to explain that 2 of the children weren't hers and that she used the disabled loo because it was the only way she could ensure the safety of all 4 children while they all used the toilet.. she hadn't been in there for very long and she was sorry for the delay etc etc..
The theatre was VERY busy and she had just been upstairs to an activity (our local borough holds free events in school holidays) I could see the lady with the children getting redder and redder and the cue for the ladies was out the door so I just popped myself between the to sides and said "look all the while you are stood here having a go at this lady you could have used the loo and got on with your day"
The lady with the children looked relieved while couple looked rather PO.
I smiled a sympathetic smile at the lady with the children and moved into the loo.. my friend then asked me what the fuss was. I explained and she said I shouldn't have stepped in. The lady with the children was in the wrong.. I honestly don't think she was. I have on occasion used the disabled loo when I have my children with me as toilet cubicles aren't built for double buggies and extra people. I would never use one while on my own or with one DC.
Was the lady in the wrong? Was I bu to step in?
