I have a soon to be 8 yr old. Who from just looking nobody would be able to tell but he has handicaps. He always goes in with me.
Sorry, my 7 year old son isn’t using the men’s restroom by himself

I agree with the other remarks I would not let my son use the mens bathroom too much bad stuff happens .
My boys are almost 10 and 5 and like hell am I sending them into the male room alone at this age. They still come with me into the lady’s room if there dad isn’t with us and if anyone tried saying anything I’d pull them up to. Just YOU 100%

If grown men that “identify” as women can go in than most definitely my son (7) will be with me
He’s too young to go alone in this awful world
Change your daughter after they leave like you said. An inconvenience for you maybe, but that other momma was doing her job as well, keeping her kids safe

I still won’t allow my 12 year old to walk into public toilets on her own!
Have you ever walked into the toilets and had a creepo in there with his bits in his hands, staring at you?? I wouldn’t wish that image and scarring on any child.
There are so many safety concerns about sending out kids off to the toilet on their own.
You’re overreacting.

Your wrong…completely…the other mother was doing her job…keeping her kids safe…you will feel the same way when your daughter is that age…would you send her into a public restroom alone? I think not.

I think it would depend on who is with the child. I have a ten year old nephew and if I was with my sister and one of us could wait out front of the restrooms for him I wouldn’t have an issue with sending him to the men’s room. That being said if there’s only one adult with them it is safer for everyone to go in together. The parent should be minding her children though.
Let’s hope you never have a boy if this bothers you

As a mother of multiple children At shopping centers it’s already high stress without having to worry about one of your boys being snatched from the mens toilet
There is no age on the parents toilets that’s like saying you would be uncomfortable if a dad was in there
You need to grow the fuck up lady
My son is almost 9 and no way in hell am I sending him to the mens restroom alone. They may seem like “big boys” but they are kids. They still can’t be trusted at home alone at this age, and definitely couldn’t fend for themself in a restroom with a pedo🤦🏽♀️ you’re way overreacting Karen.

It only takes a moment to violate someone especially a child or preteen. So, each parent should make their own decision on when they will let their kid go in the restroom by themselves. I protect my kids at all cost and feel the situation out and make my decisions at that time based on my comfort level with the location/establishment.

You’re the weirdo. Sorry. But you’re the one making a big deal out of children’s bodies and you’re the one sexualizing the situation. Most public restrooms have stalls if you want privacy and I’ve changed my babies on my lap plenty of times. Get over yourself.

Males shouldn’t be in there at all if they’re old enough to use the men’s room on their own. Where I used to work (a mall), it was a golden rule for the toilets and security would be called if any males who should know better were in there. So, don’t feel bad about thinking that.
My boys,went to the bathroom with me at that age.There was no way in hell I’d let them go to the mens room alone.

This day in age, no way in hell would I let my child go to mens bathroom by himself. Of course when he is old enough…but def not at 9 or 10. But maybe they were waiting on their mom and she didn’t want to leave them out in the store alone. Dang cut some people some slack…its not a nice world out there and I’m sure there are a billion single moms that have to figure how to go pee without leaving their kids outside the bathroom by themselves.

It’s not about capability, they’re not old enough to defend themselves against a predator.
With that being said, I try to use the restroom labeled Family Restroom.

My 8 year old son still uses the women’s restroom with me at times. It depends where we are, but if I don’t feel that him using the men’s room alone is safe, he still uses the women’s room. A teen shouldn’t be in the women’s room. But “school age” is 5+. And it’s definitely acceptable for an school age boy to use the women’s room.

No 9yr.or 10 yr Old should go bathroom by themselves . The world really is not a safe place for anymore, let alone 9yr. Or 10yr. Not even sure a 12yr.old, or even a 13yr. Old. Of course this is jus my opinion
They’re children, not 40 year old men staring at your naked baby… were they in there waiting for their mother? Where they’re close by and she can know they’re right there versus outside of the restroom where she has no idea what’s going on.

I don’t see an issue with school aged boys going into the women’s restroom with their mother or another female guardian. I bring my nephews in there with me. If you’re single or with them alone, what are you supposed to do??? Leave them standing outside? Absolutely not.

My son is autistic and I took him in the bathroom with me everywhere if no one was with us to watch him. I didn’t care who liked it or not. My child, my responsibility!! It’s not to be creepy, it’s to be safe! When he got old enough that he wanted to go to the boys bathroom by himself, I let him. But you better believe I was at the door. 1 time he was in there a little to long and I busted my little happy butt right on up in there to check on him. I didn’t care if anyone didn’t like that either. People are mean and I’m going to do everything I can to protect mine! You are a parent, you should understand!

This is not acceptable! At that age they shouldn’t be in there. wait outside the outer door but not inside. also there was 2 of them, less likely to be nabbed (if this is what everyone is worried about) my sons at that age would’ve been highly embarrassed to be in the ladies room. as to changing the baby in the car (assumption is the baby is a girl) that is OTT for the situation. block the boys with your body so you can change baby. Did you ask why they were in there? Did they look dodgy? I kind of get the feeling there is a little more to this than you changing your baby with them there.

My sons fixing to be 12 and he still comes into the restroom with me if my husband or another adult male is not with us. This world is full of crazy sickos. I will allow him to go into the men’s room alone and stand outside the door but if I need to go then all my kids come in with me either into the handicap stall or family single restroom. He’s very respectful if they only have single stalls and will stand off to the side out of the way and give people privacy.

I take my four year old boy into the restroom with me if i dont have my husband to take him to the mens because hes too little and ill probably continue taking him until hes old enough to stand outside alone and wait.

I guarantee if we leave our kids to wait outside of the restroom on tgeir own we would be conplained about for doing that too and be a “bad parent” also.

If we’re not with another adult my kids are not staying outside the restroom, they come in with me, that’s ridiculous you never know what could happen, maybe you’ll understand when your child gets older or ever have a son. If you were that uncomfortable you could have asked them to turn away or move so you could change her but if you had a son you’d change him in the women’s restroom right? What if there were someone’s daughters standing there instead?
