Is it ok for an 8 year old boy to use the gents public lavatories by himself?

I make ds go into the ladies if it's just me and him.

Theas18 · 14/10/2013 12:19

Depends on the loos LOL

In the public library etc fine. In the slightly skanky shops or at the park, maybe not- mainly because if the ladies are a bit rank the gents will be vile, rather than any fear of peeeeeeedooooos!

EIGHT years.... of course.... why not?

No. I have a 10 yo and still struggle to let him go alone!

grants1000 · 21/11/2013 18:58

No, we'll it depends on the place and the loo, either way I go first and wait outside for him if he uses the men's, I tell him to use the cubicle even for a wee if he wants.
