I still take my 5 year old in with me, he goes into a stall, if there’s a wait, he waits near the door till he knows it’s his turn. There’s tooo many crazy things happening to let him go anywhere I cannot see him. I’ll send him with hubby or older son of available BUT if not, I respectfully take him in ladies room.
I will do no such thing after 8,I’ll just be the weirdo staring down every guy that walks outta the Mens room while he’s in there
My son is 9 and autistic he goes with me but he goes in the stall with me because I know some woman are uncomfortable with other peoples kids
Uhhh they were probably in there with their mother?!?? Wtf
Wow. Kids are what youre worried about? Friggin shit. If they were girls, would you expect them to go in a public bathroom alone no you wouldnt. Boys need protection just like girls do.
You are DEFINITELY wrong
Honestly it’s safer for primary school aged boys to use the female restrooms etc if they were teenagers I would be like why are you in here? But hey are literally little kids that deserve protection as well
As a mother of boys I prefer to send them in the women’s room with me. You would be surprised how many kids are sexually assaulted in bathrooms by themselves. 
I’m sorry but if I have to use the bathroom I’m bringing my son in with me cuz I don’t trust anyone anything could happen to him while I’m in the restroom
First of all my son was this age going into the girls room with me bc if someone were to attack him in the men’s bathroom I wouldn’t know it. Especially if we weren’t close to home. They are not old enough to defend themselves. You are a mother you think you’d understand this!! Children this age don’t have adult thoughts like this!! If it were me I’d wait until they had left the bathroom
I think my son was around 10ish before I would send him to the bathroom alone. Especially at Walmart. Yuck! Get over yourself. Using a hepatitis infected changing table — but you’re worried about another mom keeping her kids close…
I’m confused. Were they just in there by themselves unsupervised or were they in there waiting for their parent? If by themselves then I could see telling the manager because they’re too young to not be with an adult but I’m assuming they were waiting for their parent which makes sense because they’re children. I’m sure she didn’t want them waiting outside the bathroom where she couldn’t see what was happening. I wouldn’t be comfortable leaving a 9 or 10 year old child in a store unsupervised while I went to the bathroom. Anything can happen and you can’t trust people. I think you’re overreacting but if you felt more comfortable waiting to change your daughter till they weren’t in there then that’s your choice or use a family restroom where you know there won’t be anyone else to worry about.
If I am at the store by myself with my children and I need to go before having an accident I make my boys come into the ladies room and stand by the changing table. They are 11 and 8 and I am sorry if that makes you uncomfortable but after suffering from sexual abuse as a child I do not trust anyone so they will stand there until I am done
My son used the woman’s bathroom with me till about that age, wouldn’t even let him wait outside for me, way to many creepers out there.
I would have just politely asked the boys to move over while I changed the babes.
My almost 6yo son will not wait on me outside of a public restroom and he will not be venturing into an occupied men’s room solo. I won’t even consider it. Big ol NOPE!
My son is 8, no disabilities. If he has to go to the bathroom by himself, he goes in the men’s and I stand outside. I’ve taught him to scream if anyone tries any funny business and not to talk to anyone while he’s in there. Now if I have to go pee and there are no family restrooms available I will have him come into the women’s room with me and stand outside the stall door where I can still see his feet.
I hate everything about this post, it sucks!
I don’t have sons but if I did, I would not allow them to go to the restroom in public alone. I don’t allow my daughter to go alone so I don’t see any difference. Also not to be rude but there isn’t much else to look at in the bathroom. I’m sure they glanced over but it wasn’t what you made it out to be
Let’s see how wrong you feel when your child is 9 or 10 and you’re raising them in the same world we are now. It’s not safe. They are children not perverts. Crazy people like you are why my son will follow me to the bathroom for as long as necessary. And also why we try and use family bathrooms if possible.
My oldest son will be 11, and he still comes in the ladies bathroom with me. He doesn’t want to anymore, but I’m not sending him in the mens alone. Nothing about that should have made you uncomfortable.
Well if no parent was in there with them then no they shouldn’t be in there but if the mom was using the bathroom then yes they have every right to be there
I would not let my 9 yr old go into the men’s room without me, nor would I leave them outside the restroom while I go. So ya you are wrong. Little kids aren’t perverts. They looked over by chance or by curiosity. Smdh. U worrying about little kids being around a diaper change is kind of weird
They probably felt just as uncomfortable as you tbh
My sons 8 and depending where we are he uses womens restrooms especially if we’re in a busy place and he doesn’t know the area very well🤷🏼♀️
If you’re that concerned maybe you should start changing your baby in a disabled toilet as public ones are usually full of people anyway
That mom can take her 9 and 10 year old with her. If you don’t like it, go change your kid in your car.
I have an 11 year old who is very small and I would not leave him unattended. I’m a widow so I can’t leave him with his dad. Make yourself more comfortable by removing yourself💁🏻♀️
My son is 10 and still goes in the womans room because I dont trust strangers in the men’s room or to wait outside the bathrooms while I use it because kidnapping is too real. He doesnt mind coming in and waiting outside the stall for me but he also knows to keep his eyes to himself(as in dont stare at someone changing a baby)
Have you seen the news on sex trafficking and or missing children. Sorry. But there are doors. Close them and mind your business as I keep my autistic son safe.
Lol was this really just asked……
I mean I take my son with me into the woman’s bathroom however unless he’s actually using one of the stalls he’s to wait for me near the sink closest to the bathroom exit. Because people like you take issue to boys being in the bathroom
As a single mother I used to do this w my son he is now 14 but when he was younger he’d go in the bathroom w me or I’d wait for him outside the stall. You never know there are weirdos out there just waiting to take advantage at any given moment. I don’t see anything wrong with this. Stop being selfish! Grow up
Welcome to the new america
It’s a lot safer than leaving two school aged boys unattended in a store for someone to snatch up. Human trafficking is a real issue in our country and a lot worse than having them in the ladies room. It might sound extreme but you gotta look at the bigger picture.
My boys are 6and 10 they both go to the bathroom with me and will continue. They both have autism. The youngest can’t go by himself anyway. But my opinion they r kids this sounds like a you issue. Apparently u don’t have boys bc I’m not sending my boys alone in a bathroom just to appease another person
I always take my 10 year old son into the rr with me. I couldn’t imagine someone trying to call my child a pervert for being in a women’s rr when I’m trying to protect him from the real ones.
You sound like you have problems. They didn’t make it weird, you did. Many women and men take their kids in there with them, so we should leave them standing outside where someone could kidnap them to make someone that makes things weird happy? No. If anything, you made it weird for yourself and them. You may not have realized this but it’s not all about you. Don’t make things weird for kids.
Umm so there mom can make sure they are ok and not going in a men’s room where she can’t with men none of them know… If your kid was a boy you would send them in the men’s room alone?!
No not without parental supervision
They are children that should not be left unsupervised, especially in places like a public bathroom. I did not let my son go into the mens room alone til like 11, and there were still a couple times I walked straight in because he was taking too long and I got worried. Had they been standing outside then someone like you would have complained about them being unsupervised out there as well. Use the family restroom.
Omg lady get over it
They should not have been in there and shame on the manager.
I would have it a bit strange and asked them why they were there. I think they are a bit young to be perving on a baby tho…trouble isu never know these days
My son will come in the ladies bathroom with me until he’s old and strong enough to hold his own in the event of something happening. I would expect my daughters dad to take her in the men’s with him. Make her stand in the corner or something. No way in fucks am I letting someone touch or abuse my kid at a Walmart. Get the fuck over yourself.
My 8 & 5 year old goes with my me. Better them with me instead of outside where I can’t hear them. Don’t like it leave or wait
Um my boys went into the bathroom with me until I felt they was old enough to go into the mens room safely. Even then I would stand In the mens doorway and talk to them the whole time. And there is no way I would leave them outside the bathroom either. This is a you issues. Not the boys issues.
You’re totally overreacting. They’re still children.
I’d never let my 8 year old go into a mens restroom alone… you’re worried about an infant YOU’RE WITH but want a young boy to go into a restroom with grown men alone? Girl bye, selfish for sure
You really went to management over this ? They are still little kids. You should be ashamed. Nothing like being a Karan all early in the day
Cori McCutcheon I don’t think you’re getting the point here. Safety in numbers yes but they were boys in the female restroom. Them going into the men’s restroom together would be safe. Why would they chose the woman’s…because they could. This time we live in lacks values and morals…even for children.
Probably waiting for their mom i would think ??
I would understand your point if it was high school boys or even a grown man. They shouldn’t be in the women’s restroom. But…elementary aged kids…come on. Idk If you’ve noticed but this world isn’t safe. If I had to use the restroom and my son was that age he would go in there with me. There’s no way I would leave him standing outside the restroom to wait for me! There’s too much going on in this world and I’m not taking any chances.
Like seriously how long did you have to wait?!?
I’m not buying that you walked in, they were there, you had time to talk to management, go back and still had to wait long enough for it to be an inconvenience for you
Get your story together first
I get where you’re coming from but this world is too crazy Aaron’s got to keep a close eye on their kids they get taken away too easily these days
You’re an asshole THEIR MOM is probably uncomfortable with them going to the men’s restroom alone , because sadly the world we live in today no one’s safe
My son is 9 will be 10 in August he goes in the women’s restroom with me and his sisters. He hates it but I would rather have u butt hurt than something happening to my son. Now if he has to use the restroom and I don’t I stand by the men’s door. Not in there and I wait on my son but best believe if my son hollers are screams while in there mamas coming in and all I can say is they better hurry and zip it up if they don’t want a women seeing. This world is to cruel to have him wait outside. He is a child. He don’t understand its cause mama is protecting him and trust me this mama will kill someone who hurts either one of my kids. I’ve been hurt by men at a young age Ik how it messes with you and if I can I will not let my kids have to live with that pain and hurt. Idk if you relise what’s happening in this world but honey open you’re eyes it’s a fucked up world
I take my 8 year-old in the women’s bathroom with me because I’m not comfortable with him going by himself. Think of it this way to many sick people that will hurt my son. 
Do you breastfeed in public???
…
A lot of people think that’s inappropriate as well…
no one wants thier school age boys looking over a few times.

Then again I once witnessed 3 kids in the bathroom throwing wet toilet paper all over the walls and ceiling with their mom in the stall on a conference call
It’s just you. I mean it’d be weird if they were just hanging out in there but I’d bet their mom was using the restroom. As a mom of boys they will go with me into the women’s restroom until I’m comfortable sending them into a men’s bathroom unsupervised or they are old enough to stand outside the door and wait for me. We live in a world of sick people.
Was their mom in there? I make my 6 yr old go with me if I’m alone. Sorry but this world is crazy and people are stupid so I protect my son.
Maybe their parents wanted them in the restroom because ppl are sick in this world. I don’t care how old my son is if nobody is with me then he will be coming in the female’s restroom with me
I have 2 girls and even i say if i had a boy theyd be in the restroom with me… fuck sending them alone.
If youre concerned about your child then dont change her out in the open whrre anyone can see. But also dont treat 9yo children like predators ffs!
My son is 8 and he WILL go with me into a public restroom unless my boyfriend or dad is able to take him into the mens restroom. Too many sick perverts in this world. Idc if a woman doesn’t like it. My child’s safety is more important than your feelings. I teach him to not stare but he’s 8!
If you had a 9 year old daughter, would you leave her outside the restroom to wait? No? That’s what I thought.
You should of just asked them to leave?
My son is 8. He still goes with me depending where we are. They are children and need to be educated.
Well I take my 7 year old son into the women’s restroom with me if it’s just him and I. I’m not leaving him to stand outside alone.
That’s still pretty young. People are creeps… I’ve heard too many horror stories. I’m sure my son will go with me to the woman’s bathroom till he’s older. It’s my job to protect him, sorry you felt uncomfortable but they were kids. Not 30 year old men…
I have an 11 year old boy and a 11 month old daughter. I personally do not let my son watch me change my daughter. But I also have to be standing RIGHT OUTSIDE the men’s room door when my son goes in. It is a sick a cruel world we live in. I stopped taking my son in the women’s room with me when he was about 8 or so… but when he did go in there with me, I wouldn’t have allowed him to stand there while a mother changed there Childs diaper. I can see both sides of the story because I have been on both sides.
You’re weird for that.
They’re little kids who cares
As a mother of 2 boys; 10 and 8, they still come with me in the womens restroom and wait for me while I need to go. Too much child abduction and selling going on.
Now if they need to go, and I don’t, they absolutely go in the mens and I’ll wait for them right by the door.
We have to protect our babies! My 10 year old son goes with me in the woman’s restroom or I’ll stand in the doorway of the mens while he goes. . You can’t trust anyone.
It’s more strange that child boys made you uncomfortable about changing your baby girl. That’s like really odd. They won’t get aroused by that or anything. It’s rare in general. Yes, the boys should be allowed.
I mean hell I’ve looked at babies while on the table. 1.thinkin no way in hell I’d have used it, 2.its usually with a "wtf so much stuff to change a diaper?’ Look and 3 cause 9 out of 10 said baby is trying to launch itself off the table
Unless a mom/ dad is in there with smaller kids, or the other bathroom is broken, I don’t see a reason.
Maybe next time use the family restroom, my son still goes into the women’s restroom with me, he is 7
Oh AND they looked over while you were changing your daughter AND you waited till they left??? Which is it?!?
Maybe their mom had to use the restroom and didn’t want to leave them outside, alone. Not sure if you’re privy to current news but kidnappings are real. And happening far too often. If you are uncomfortable, I’m sure no one is going to down you for your choice to wait until the boys are out. But don’t condemn another mother for keeping her kids close to her. We are living some sick times. And most of us are just trying to protect our babies at all costs. Someone else would have probably condemned her for leaving then outside, unattended. Don’t create havoc for a mother just trying to protect her kids.
Use your voice and ask them to move soo you could use the changing table. THEY ARE CHILDREN. Stop sexualizing children. Look up how many kids go missing daily, you expect them to be left alone while mom goes pee? That’s all it takes and poof your kids are gone. Sounds like you have your own issues to work out, not that mom or her kids.
All Moms are afraid for their kids now
Really? They are kids! I have a 10 year old boy who I would definitely not let go in the mens room by himself. They are innocent little boys. I doubt they were trying to be perverts hanging by the changing table to get a glimpse of a baby. Smh!
Yikes at these responses. Y’all can have an opinion without being so rude. She wants to be educated not berated.
Lots of walmarts have thr family bathroom these days. I’d use that. I don’t know if you’ve heard the news with all this but even target won’t do anything. They can claim they’re girls and be in there. Don’t think there is much they could have done unless they were tearing it up anyway. And I don’t mind 10 yr old boys being in the women’s room anyway.
If i have to go to the bathroom I will absolutely not leave my 9yo son standing outside the bathroom by himself.
That being said I will have him stand directly outside of my stall.
Yeah. It’s you. 9 and 10 year old boys get abducted. They’re in there because their mom is using the restroom.
Here’s your story…you walked in, changed your daughter, they looked, you went to management and spoke to them, went back to the bathroom and waited for them to leave to change your daughter…for a second time I guess??
Of course they are going to look over. Kids are naturally curious, doesn’t make it sexual. Adults are the ones who sexualize everything…
I have twin girls who are two, personally this wouldn’t have bothered me. They are kids. Probably waiting on mom.
While I understand your concern my 10 year old daughter goes in with whoever she is with. If there are 2 adults she stays with the one not using the restroom but if she is with dad and he has to go she closes her eyes and puts her hands over them he will bring her in and she will stay with him (back turned so she can’t see anything). It’s rare that she will be shopping alone with him as I usually go also, but she isn’t left alone. If she is with me and the stall is really small she stands outside the stall door with her feet under the door so I can see her.
Is this real? I would not allow mine to be alone either at that age. If you were that concerned maybe you could have taken her to your car to change her. School age doesn’t equal grown. Stop sexualizing children.
You can’t be serious
I think you are the sick one for thinking that way. Karen!
My kid is almost 9 and I am terrified of her going anywhere alone because people are creeps and follow people around. She goes to the stall alone, or if it’s a one toilet restroom I stand outside the door, but when i was working at a retail store, some times maintenance would just walk right in and that scares the hell out of me, if it happens to her
maybe the mom was in the stall and she wanted them to wait right there where she could still hear them and see their feet instead of out in the store by themselves?
You can send YOUR 9 and 10 year old little boys into the MEN’S room alone but many Mom’s won’t allow it because we’re not comfortable with our young CHILDREN being unsupervised with strange men.
Were they w their mother. I mean they aren’t high school age I get what ur saying but mom prob felt uncomfortable them using restroom by themselves living in todays fkd up society. She should have been present and had them in and out not left to stand around watching things lol idk I wasn’t there though maybe she was using bathroom and they were waiting. Not like was adult men I wouldn’t have minded knowing the reason that was prob behind it. Should have just went about ur business and left
I get both sides. But my son is 9 and I don’t trust a single person In the world anymore with how it is now a days to have him go alone🤷♀️ but that’s just me. I try to use the family restroom though so no one feels weird about it.
Okay there young there mom was probably using the bathroom i wouldn’t want to leave my child
Ask yourself if you had a 9/10 year old if you would let him go into a men’s bathroom alone. Smh there is nothing wrong with it. Not a chance in hell in this crazy world would I let my boys go in a bathroom alone
I’m not leaving my boys unattended while shopping if I have to use the restroom…get over yourself…safety first…
Because they were probably waiting on their Mom I personally wouldn’t let my son use a public restroom without his Dad until at least 12 idc what people think I wouldn’t trust my daughter why would I trust my son this world is crazy now a little girl can be raped by a man in the girls bathroom imagine a young boy by himself Nope not my kids I’m super protective with my Girls I’ve been molested so I take extra precautions regardless of what people think could be the same case with these boys idk
What in the actual F…
My son is 16 and has special needs. He has always gone in the women’s restroom with me.
