I have a 7 year old DS, who has health issues, and needs to use the toilet quite frequently. I have always taken them to ladies’ toilets in public places if my husband is not with us. Never had any issues until yesterday.
We went to a concert in central London, I took him to use the loos, he was very well behaved. On the way out we were stopped by an older lady, who was enraged, and told me off for bringing a boy of this age into the ladies. She just kept going on and on, I said nothing and we just left. I am still in a bit of shock.
There is no way in hell I would send him into the gents by himself. There was no disabled toilet nearby.
What do others do?
I have never had a problem with this, and in fact see more and more unisex toilets and male attendants in places.
