mens rooms
I was a little shocked today when taking the kids and DH to the movies. A man and his 12 yr old son and 10 yr old daughter come walking out of the mens room. Good Lord, never been in a mens room but arent men visibly naked in the mens room? Isnt this girl a little too old to not go into a ladies room. I personally wouldnt take a girl of any age in a mens room BUT a 10 yr old seems a little steep. At least in the womens rooms we have doors to our stalls.

Re: mens rooms

Re: mens rooms
i'd rather have my husband bring our daughter into the men's room with him, than leave her standing outside, unattended... if he brought them there himself

Re: mens rooms
Do you know for sure they were 10 and 12? Ten is probably a little old to not let her go to the bathroom by herself so I agree with you there if she was ten but what would people be saying if heaven forbid something happened to that little girl while she went to the ladies room by herself? You can bet they'd be blaming the dad for leaving her alone. Sometimes parents can't seem to do right either way. At least in the men's room he can easily keep an eye on her and tell her to face the wall or whatever so she doesn't see anything she shouldn't. Plus, men's bathrooms do have stalls.

Re: mens rooms
I am sorry...that is unacceptable. The girl is definately too old to be in the mens room. It sounds a little odd to me. I understand things go on and he may have been nervous to send her in the ladies room alone but to bring her in the mens room???? Thats a little odd to me and I would kill dh if he ever did that!

He should have let her go in the womens room while he waited outside the womens bathroom door. I think its TOTALLY unaccpetable for a 10 yr old to go in a mens room. I would rather have an attendant watch my 10 yr old girl then take her into a mens room. Yes, as someone said...there are stalls but there are also men peeing in urinals. Aside from everything else, how is a man supposed to feel when he is standing there peeing and a 10 yr old girl walks in. Very odd!

Re: mens rooms
A few months ago a 12 year old was harrassed in ladies room ( I think in NJ)& people were all shocked that her mother let her go in alone.
So you can never win!
I remember when I was litle & at TSS with my father & grandfather & told them I had to go & my dad got all upset & I didn't know why, b/c I knew there was a bathroom there, but it was b/c he didn't know if he could let me go in & didn't want to take me with him.
I don't remember what happened-- I think I convinced him to let me go alone.

Frankly... most men really wouldn't care. They would probably pay her no mind.

Re: mens rooms
ooh.. Tough Question!!! I guess I'd rather her be with an adult with supervision than go alone. Tough one!!!! But.. a lot of places are now equipped with a family bathroom, so that makes it a lot easier, no?? I don't have kids yet. Is this an easier option or readily available??

Re: mens rooms
I think 10 is old enough to go to the bathroom by herself in the ladies room. I would expect DH would be waiting outside for her.
If it was DH that had to go to the bathroom, I'd rather him ask an attendant to watch my 10 year old daughter while he goes to the bathroom. Taking her in at that age would be too strange.

Re: mens rooms
Ugh, I can only imagine the memories or fears this little girl may have now b/c she went into a MENS room at her age!!!!
and it can go the other way- what sickos are in the bathroom going and they see a MINOR FEMALE in the bathroom and think sexual things, go on the internet or worse actually do something to someone.
NO way do I think a 10 yr old should have gone in the mens room- very disturbing.
The father should have, since he is the adult, let the kids go in first- who ever had to go the most and wait right outside the door and if he felt they were in there too long- minutes he could always either open the door or walk a little in and say his childs name out loud and ask are you ok- Im sure the people in the bathrooms wouldnt care about that.
Edit to say now if it was just father and daughter NO son, then I feel the father should ask the attendant or an employee, security guard from the place or hold it in till they got home, or go to a fast food joint!

Agreed. I'm pretty sure I was going to public bathrooms by myself at that age.

No I dont think anything would happen to her since she is with her father but as a woman and remembering back to my childhood, it mortified me to even hear about mens private parts, b/c I didnt understand at that age and I dont think my parents wanted me too either. edited to say there are just some things you dont do or expose your children too and this is one of them. there are other options. a memory at a young age is very vulnerable.
