Boys into Ladies Toilets

sooz

I've just read through the whole thread, and i can't believe no-one has mentioned.........i take my boys into the ladies, because even my OH says the gents are generally filthy!!!!

my OH also gets rather embarrassed when he's locked in a cubicle with a young boy (his own i quickly hasten to add) who is saying things like 'your w*lly's bigger than mine', 'nooooo i can pull my own pants down' and 'do you love me' almost always forgetting to include the crucial word 'daddy'...........:rotfl:

he's also still too little in most loos to reach up and wash his hands properly.

I think the best way forward would be for more parent and child facilities, I know I really struggled when my boys were too old to go in the ladies but I felt too young to go alone in the mens.

My Dad takes my kids out a lot and he used to worry about my daughter, going into loo's alone.

Some places havve great facilities, I think there should be more thought about the needs of parents.

I have a severly disabled friend who works on a commitee that looks at how user friendly buildings are for him. It was actually him that mentioned to me there was nothing similar for parents.

My favourite pass time at the moment is telling people who park in parent bays without children off. Am I becoming a grumpy old woman?

classic line for that above came from one of the littleuns my missis used to look after. 20 summat bloke getting out of his 2 seater BMW in the paretn with child space at sainsburys gets shouted at from across the car park by littlun in trolley screeming at full pelt " here mister u forgot ur kid".
apparantly all the mid day shoppers were in hysterics

Oh my God I have never heard so much paranoia.My son and daughter both go to the toilet themselves and have done since they were 5.Always make sure I am near in case door sticks.Would never use a disabled toilet unless neccesary eg toilet flooded etc.Why do people feel the need to take buggies into toilets anyway ?do you really think that somebody is going to steal your child?As stated before most kids are abused by people they know

Yes! but that is what having kids does to us!!!

Quite right

I quite fancy staging a Mum in at my local Tesco, I think I will get one of those speaker things and maybe even some stickers. Set up my own little protest. I dream of chasing the "offenders" shouting after them they have made some poor mother or fahter struggle.

I would do it but I know my children would disown me!!

Yeah that would be great, I think I have started a whole new thread by accident.

Doesn't it ever happen??

If a little girl can be taken out of the bath in her own home then anything's possible.

Actually, if you look at the wording on signage for parent and child parking - there are no 'age limits' specified and so any parent of any age could take their child of any age, and legitimatley use these spaces!
