Would you be offended by a father accompanying his small daughters into the ladies toilet?

[NickECave]

I have two dds aged 4 and 2. My dh often takes them out and about in town on his own and inevitably needs to take them into public toilets. The thing is that male public toilets are often extremely dirty and unsanitary and I'd much rather he took them into the ladies. My question is would you be offended by a man coming into the ladies toilet when he is obviously accompanying a small girl? I don't personally know anyone who would have a problem with this but would be interesting to see if lots of people disagree with me.

I dont think this is right. I wouldnt dream of taking my young DSs into the mens loo, which is the same thing!
He can take them with him or to a disabled loo.

I honestly don't know anywhere that just has baby changing facilities in the Ladies?

I think that all toilets should just have stalls and be unisex anyway.

disabled toilets are for people with disabilities and not parents of opposite sex to their child!

I don't either Worra I would complain most vigourously if I did

ah right, yes i think i follow now! ivana

Adult men should not go into female toilets.

Either unisex facilities should be provided, or the gents should be improved (including changing facilities).

I wouldn't mind. But I know lots of people who would be upset- including many teenage girls of my acquaintance, so no I don't think he should.

I think it's OK to use the disabled loo und these circumstances, though- I wonder if I'll get flamed for that!

Fanjo unless they're taking a hugely long shit, they're going to have to wait a minute like everyone else.

Worra Said: "There's nothing wrong with popping into a disabled toilet as long as disabled people are given first priority!"

K so I need to change my bag that collects pee in, it connects straight to the pipe work that takes pee to the bladder iyswim. I cannot stop peeing or hold it. So whilst you are just popping in for what 10 mins for a "quick" change and brush up of of baby/toddler. Where am I meant to go with my pee bag about to overflow Hmm. I do not use norm toilets as I have my own, I do not use baby changing spaces as I don't have a baby, I do not want baby changing facilities in disabled toilets and I would not want to be in a q behind some rampantly entitled parent who thinks its crap for the wrong sex to use a loo but fine to use a loo that is meant for others.

I am not meaning to attack you personalty worra you said what others have done so it is a generic rant not an attack.

Pffft but then MEN would use toilets meant for WOMEN and turn then into germ ridden cess pits with traumatising willy decorations - we need to keep the womens seperate so it remains a glittery pine-scented modest sanctuary with only sterlised pee/poo allowed, and no hint it is a place used for bodily functions.

Can't have those willy hoses spraying their disgusting GERM piss around the place, it might touch a child

i'd rather offend a few adults in the men's loos ( i am female with sons so the OP's situation in reverse) than cause a disabled person any discomfort.

And before any one starts with baby changing takes only a moment, thats bollox and you know it. 5 mins is the min and that can be a very long wait for people with many diseases that reduce bladder and bowel control. But see Fanjo were going to be accused of derailing the thread. Or turning it in to a "what about the dizabled"

Well DD uses the mens when with DH. I shall ask her if she is traumatised. She already stinks as a result, and I think she probably has plague.

It wouldn't bother me at all. There are often male attendants in ladies' toilets - I don't really see the difference. I think most women with or without children would follow the unsanitary logic. Actually sod that - what about the 'not wanting two young girls seeing blokes with their cocks out' logic?

CallMeAl's response is quite baffling actually. She must be a delusional chilled out person - I have met a few in my time.

It's Kendals in Manchester (might as well name and shame)

Notthefullshilling 'Popping' into a toilet with a young child doesn't equate to '10 minutes'....in my mind it equates to much less.

If a disabled person joined the queue while I was in there with a small child, they really wouldn't have to wait that long.

If they joined the queue while a disabled person were in there they might have to wait a lot longer.

Those who are saying they would be offended and would not like it, you are pathetic IMO and thats coming from another woman.

At least Ivan I know they are not taking the piss as it were, and I continue my one person fight to get MORE disabled toilets Ivan

Oh and I wasn't talking about baby changing.

Just to say, I have been in plenty of disgusting women's toilets as well. I don't go in the men's so I can't compare, but I don't understand this idea that women's toilets area all clean and lovely. Even the ones that are regularly cleaned have some seats with urine on because of the women that hover

well that other disabled person has a legitimate reason to be there ivana and really nothing can be done to prevent the queuing disabled person's discomfort but it it was an adult sut taking their child in to avoid stares then that's preventable.
