Curious child unisex swimming changing room

[sirenseista]

Hey there didn't really know where to post this.

I don't have any children, nor wish to and tend to avoid going to swimming pools like Saturdays when families are there. However, due to finishing late at uni on Friday I had no choice but to go on Saturday.

All went fine swimming until I was getting changed. Outside the was this mother and daughter (I think she was around 8 or 9) getting changed either side of me. The girl looked at me in a curious way, but I just ignored and carried on with getting changed. The facilities are unisex with cubicals, but the panels didn't go fully to the floor.

Whilst I was starkers with my leg up on the bench I noticed the girls eyes peering from underneath the cubical door. I said loudly "do you mind not peering at me?!?", but the parent the otherside did catch on.

I am not ashamed about my body as I am Dutch and quite used to going to nudest camps with my family.

Would I have been unreasonable to have said something to the parent?

A mixed bag or answers and a few who are concerned about the word unisex.

Anyways I am just going to go to the pool at 7am or evening to avoid the kids and noise anyway.

I wonder what the responses would be if it were a boy doing it. No doubt loads along the lines of that's future sex pest behaviour there, God knows what he'll grow up in to.

Personally, I don't think its right that any child goes around peering at people.

My response wouldn't be any different with a boy and in my experience it's more commonly boys that do it.

You should mention it to the child's parents. Perhaps adding that some parents would have been more upset than you are.

I would have said nothing, because a belligerent parent might then accuse me of 'exposing myself', and that sort of accusation will stick however absurd it is.

If we have to be subjected to unisex changing rooms, they could at least not make it possible to see in.
