Where are theFamily bathrooms?
Honestly with what’s going on in the world, I’d be scared to leave my son outside too.
Yes 9-10 is already an old enough age so i guess it would depend on how i feel in that environment. But my son is almost 4 right now & no way I’d leave him outside the bathroom

Maybe their mom was in there going to the bathroom? I never let my sone to go by himself in a man’s restroom,it’s a safety precaution. Nothing wrong with that.
My son is 10 and I rather him used the bathroom stall in a bathroom where he can be in a stall and I can use another or have his little brother use the bathroom , where I can keep watch rather than in a men’s bathroom where sick people can easily do anything. It’s a sick world and I will protect my child at all costs

I would not leave young boys alone either. Too many kids get abducted these days. Anyway, I’m sure they didn’t want to be in there either. I would make mine stand outside the stall so I could see their feet.

My son is almost 8 and I take him to the women’s bathroom with me… I don’t trust people… I am scared to send him to the men’s restroom with random people. If he didn’t have to use the bathroom and I did, I would still have him go in with me and wait in the stall with me.

You don’t know if their mother didn’t feel safe letting them do that, maybe they’re trouble, maybe she is in a new store and doesn’t want to risk someone snatching them. Who knows. There are millions of reasons, but none of them have anything to do with you or your child.

so much to unpack here. First, as a mother of an 8 year old girl, I would not leave my child(ren) standing outside the bathroom alone with the world the way it is. It’s not like they were looking under stalls or being rude.
Second, if you are worried about little boys looking while you change your infant daughter I think you may have some personal stuff going on that you need to deal with. I can almost guarantee they were not looking at her in a sexual manner. If you don’t like them in there waiting for their parent then you wait outside until they are done or you could have simply asked them to move away from the changing table.
I always took my boys to the ladies restroom until they was big enough to go on their own as young teens. And now I take my grandson’s unless and will until I decide they are old enough to go on their own or their daddy’s are there to go with them. Also all Walmart stores has a family room in the back by the ladies restroom that’s where I always went when I needed to change a diaper.

There is mixed opinions about this one. If the two boys had a parent in there with them and they were just on the outside waiting for the parent to be done and that would be one thing I just to leave matters alone however if the two boys were in there by themselves then one has to question where is the parent or is there a parent with them on the outside of the bathroom waiting?
I had my son come with me til he was 10 or 11… way to scared that someone should hurt him or abduct him.

If I’m out in a public place alone with my son, he comes in the restroom with me - he’s 10. So yes, you’re wrong for thinking a mother keeping her son safe is wrong.
and this is why - Sex offender was trying to take boy pics at Costco, NJ cops say
Throw a wipe over her area to cover her while you clean her up or ask the boys (politely) to move away from the changing table…. Not a huge deal

As a grandma with boys…years ago I would have NEVER taken them in the restroom with me…but now days horrible people are preying on those alone in restrooms…it’s a rock and a hard place in todays day and age but better safe than sorry!!! But I totally understand how you feel too
Depends on the parents, if they were with mom and mom had to use the bathroom, she may not want to leave them standing alone outside while they wait. but I would say a 9 yr old is DEFINITELY old enough to use the mens room if that’s what they were doing. Far all of u jumping down this ladies throat, get a fkn grip, shes looking out for her little girl so calm the hell down. I know for a fact that theres middle school aged kids having sex, in which I dont agree with, and YES THATS AGES 11-13, so kids aren’t staying so innocent anymore. So people HAVE to be careful when it comes to kids those ages. I have 3 daughters 9, 13, 14. And I’ll be damned if anybody is gonna make me uncomfortable protecting them. So it can be a touchy subject but no one should be made to feel that they are in the wrong being concerned over something like this.
As a mom of boys and girls I can kinda get what you’re saying but also as a mom of an 8 year old boy I usually don’t let him go into the men’s bathroom at Walmart alone. Only if it’s a single stall type of bathroom. I’ve heard so many stories about creepers attacking in public bathrooms. But on that same page, if he goes into the women’s bathroom I go with him and would make sure he was only there to do his business and then get the heck out of there. Just please imagine if you had a little boy. You’d be totally fine sending him to a huge public bathroom with weirdos all by himself and if he took too long and he got worried you’d have to barge into the men’s bathroom to check on him??? Boys are sweet, innocent babies too.

It’s just you, my son is 10 and if it’s just me with him he’s coming into the women’s with me as I don’t want him in there alone with out an adult… also they where most likely standing there cause there mother told them to stand there when they where done till she was done. Because of that they probley didn’t know what to do when you needed the change table. There little kids not teenagers or adults

When your child is 9 or 10 will you have them wait outside the ladies room or go into a separate bathroom by themselves?

Sounds like you’re just trying to stir shit up. Quit making everything about adult shit the kids should not be concerned with. It’s fucksd up adults, not kids, who are all worked up about bathrooms
Leaving a 9 year old out in the store while you pee isn’t something I’d do but I’m also not flipping shit about finding one in the bathroom, standing there, if I go in. It’s not a huge deal until you make it one.
My boys come with me into the bathroom. They absolutely hate it now that they are 7 & 9 but I refuse to leave them outside where I can’t see or hear them. You can’t trust anyone anymore. If my husband or my older son is there then they’ll go with them. I refuse to let my kids get kidnapped over someone being uncomfortable. You can wait a couple mins…

I never sent my 9 year old son in the boys bathroom alone. Either his older brother went in with him or he went in with me. That was 20 years ago and times are even worse now. I agree it is uncomfortable for you to change your daughters diaper with them looking over from time to time. I personally would have just waited a few minutes til their mother came out of one of the stalls, collected her boys then proceed to change my daughter. This is just my opinion though.

I have two boys and my youngest is 9, he looks like he’s older though… however as a single mom I make him come to the ladies room with me unless I really really trust wherever we’re at. It’s a very scary feeling sending your baby in the men’s room and pacing back and forth praying he’s ok because there are so many dangerous people in this world. He doesn’t like coming to the ladies room with me but safety comes first.

Oh get over yourself. The boys were waiting for their mum. They didn’t give 2 shits about you changing your kids diapers. Stop sexualizing your 9month old and those two little boys you know absolutely nothing about. You are making this out to be a way bigger problem than it truly was. I don’t trust my kids being left unattended while I use the restroom in today’s society. Too many kids are trafficked. Not to mention, did you know that baby changing tables in restrooms are high traffic drug use locations? If not, you do now.
I wouldn’t let my nine and 10 year old go into a male bathroom alone without me so yes I always brought them into the women’s bathroom I don’t trust no grown man around my child

Yeah, it’s you. As a mom of 4 boys, I often found myself alone out shopping with them in tow, and with all the madness and sick predators out there, no way am I compromising my children’s safety for your irrational sensitivities. They were standing there waiting for their mother I’m sure. I’m sure they were alot more uncomfortable than you. It only takes seconds to lose your child forever, or for them to be damaged or harmed. Thankfully most places are updating their facilities to accommodate families and many places have family restrooms for this reason. Wait until your daughter reaches school age and you find out the insane bathroom policies being implemented in schools. You could have waited until the mother was finished and left. Nobody takes that much time in a bathroom to make it as big an issue that you are. Practice a little patience and just wait till they exit. And NEVER shame a mother for ensuring her children’s safety. Also, suggesting they were trying to “look” at your daughter because they probably felt awkward in the situation is absolutely ridiculous. You are borderline accusing these children of being the very predators their mother was protecting them from. I get being protective of your daughter but your smearing another mother for doing the same. Grow up.

This seems like a generational thing honestly however your a mom they were kids and your changing her diaper have you never changed your babies diaper at a cookout on a couch or on the grass outside on a blanket n front of a whole ass of others? I’m just saying their kids and it’s not like you were using the bathroom and they were by yor stall and let’s b honest the changing table was prolly right by the entrance door so your tripping mama
My boys ALWAYS came into the women’s room with me. They are 13 and 15 now, so I trust them to use the public mens rooms(Hell, I still make them go together 
)But it also depends on the situation. If the parent was there, they should have been supervising those boys. Getting them in and out with a quickness. They have no need to be in ANY bathroom if they arent handling personal business.

My 9 year old son is scared to go to the mens alone or for me to leave him while i go or my younger daughter so he comes with us. I don’t think the boys looking over was anything more then looking at a cute baby! Babies get a lot of attention from all ages.
If had an adult with them…fine. If not…it would still be ok,but i would have asked them to step away a little and turn to face the wall or tossed a blanket over my kid’s bottom half while changing. As long as they weren’t in there peaking under stalls…i dont see a problem with it. Women’s restrooms are way safer than men’s restrooms. Once had a guy dressed as a woman try following me and my daughter into women’s restroom. I wasnt ok with that. Told him i have a concealed carey permit and he better wait outside, or go to men’s restroom, until we were done. Guy wanted to raise hell and tried to push past me to get in, i yelled, and got security to hold him back until we got out. He still had his wang…he can use the men’s restroom or wait until all women are out of the women’s. Not going for all this dressing as a woman to get easier access to women trend. Too many sickos
