Toilets with children

But little boys go in with their mothers. If the cubicle was used, the little girl should have stayed in there with her dad.

What on earth is wrong with taking a young child into a pub? Many pubs are restaurants also.

How do you know what the man did (i.e. go back into the cubicle, leaving his daughter alone in the men's toilet area) if your husband chose not to go in?

Thank you stillaliveandkicking. Not every one is understanding. The father did use a cubicle for the girl but then went back into it for himself leaving the girl to see others. Please the feelings of other male users need to be respected. This is now way noted as sexual. Changing rooms are not the same thing. Let children be shown biology at home.

I think I'd be a little wary of a pub loo. Am I being a bit prudish to wonder why he was in a pub with a two year old? I would have thought there were more toddler friendly places around.

I think the issue may be more about the fact we are talking about a pub lavatory . I would be a little concerned that there may be men in there a bit worse for wear. Leisure centres and restaurants may be a bit different.

Im with you on this one OP. Don't think it's acceptable for a little girl to go into a blokes toilet in the pub.

Definitely a non-issue. No problem at all with this.

Both the swimming pools I use have large unisex changing rooms, with family and individual sized cubicles. One also has two single sex communal changing areas, but these are quite small and off the main changing area. I am not quite sure what their purpose is.

As for loos, as far as I am concerned it is a non-issue.

When I am at a restaurant with my DGC I usually get the job of taking both children to the toilet afterwards. They both come in with me to the Ladies (boy age 7 and girl age 5). No-one has batted an eyelid so far, it's so obviously granny doing the post-meal WC run. The same would apply to a man doing the chore too. I can't see why anyone should feel uncomfortable with it, or why it should be an issue if the little girl does see men urinating. She is with her dad, she is not being molested, and if no-one makes a fuss about it she won't be troubled by it. I think there is a danger in today's society that anything that could be seen as even the slightest bit 'sexual' (for want of a better word) is immediately deemed to be sinister.

I agree thatbags it's biology and I would assume she has seen daddy's before.
On the rare occassion I'm allowed out with GS×2 I have taken them in the ladies with me when necessary, although the nearly 8 yo is beginging to insist on visiting the mens. Which maybe the result of a girl of about his age recently informing him that "boys aint allaud in 'ere"

A different but similar situation has arisen only this week at our local leisure centre. Boys over 8 are no longer allowed in the ladies changing area and a mother has protested that it puts her son in danger if he goes in the men's changing area alone.
I used to take my GS to his lessons occasionally and took him in a ladies cubicle. There were also family changing areas where a mum could take all her children. I assume the same facility was available in the men's.

Would you be concerned if the child was a boy? The father was there with the child, could answer any questions. Personally, i think this is OK provided the child is with a parent. I think it a positive thing that some places have baby changing facilities in the men's as well as the women's loos.

Wouldn't one have to peer round quite closely to see more than a man's back. Aren't there usually cubicle toilets available as well as urinals? A dad could take his kids in one of those. Perhaps he did.

Plus, I'm don't think it would do a child any harm to see a penis or two. It's just biology.
