You notified security? Why not just ask out in the restroom if the mom was around. You think they are just hanging out in the ladies room like some creepers? I’m curious if they looked like you because that is some Big Karen energy. People tend to extend a little more grace to those they feel connected to anywho, my boys went with me into the ladies room until 9/10. Only because I have 2 boys so I made them go in the men’s room together and come out together. But depending on where we were sometimes I took them in with me still. They had men try to strike up a conversation with them on quite a few occasions.

Being a mom of both girls and boys -No one goes in either restroom by themselves when they are younger. Elementary age and depending on their size. When the boys started asking to go by themselves - I would ask them to check and see if anyone or how many men were in there. Yes, it may be awkard but I also told them - I would come in there and get them if they didn’t get in and get out. Safety is first no matter what. When the boys were getting older they were to sit on the ground right inside the door of the women’s restroom. That way I knew they were safe while their sisters or myself were using the restroom. Too many things can happen in restrooms. Not only by men but also women creeping on children. It’s okay to be concerned about the little guys being in there. But remember sooner than you realize your little girl is going to be growing up and your not going to want her by herself in a public restroom.

SMH the mom probably had to use the bathroom and told them to stand there because Karen’s like you would still have something to complain about if she had them stand next to the stall she was in. This blows my mind on so many levels as a mom.

My 10 yro goes in the women’s room because his dad ain’t around and if there is an issue I will have to come deal with it or sometimes he’ll walk his sister who is 9 and developmentally delayed to the bathroom for me if I am busy with his siblings and he’ll wait outside her stall for her. You can’t tell her delay unless you know her, she is super naive and basically has the personality of a hyper social 4yro and has a tendency to walk off and be way too trusting of people. She knows to follow her brother and stay with him since she was tiny. He has always been protective. He also has been taught about babies and even knows how to change a diaper. My boy is very mature however he doesn’t sexualize anyone, especially not a baby. If a baby cries near him, he will just look to see if they are ok.

I wouldn’t even likely send my daughter in alone to the women’s room, yet (she will be 11 this summer) and women I don’t know, have a much higher likelihood of being safe around my child, than men I don’t know, do, and they don’t have their private parts out in the open in the women’s room to pee, either.

So you think the mother of those YOUNG boys should just leave them outside and hope for the best? You think she should just go in and pray no child predator sees them and thinks, “oh there’s 2 with no adult…easy picking.” I’m a mother with both sons and daughters. I have a baby girl (and 2 older daughters) with a 13 year old son and an 11 year old son. Neither of them are one bit interested is seeing the baby’s diaper be changed, grossed out maybe, but not gawking to see what they can see. That’s insane and you should be ashamed. They weren’t 16 in the womens bathroom. They were CHILDREN, no different than the one you had, except a bit older. They deserve to be protected and kept safe just as much as your child! Gosh, you are part of what is wrong in this world. I could see if they were teenagers and gawking at your baby while you changed her or heck just teenagers hanging out in the women’s restroom. They were CHILDREN, and they probably looked over because they saw a baby and kids generally like babies and try to interact with them. They probably didn’t speak to her because they could tell you had an unkind heart.
If anyone should be mad, it should be their Mom. You were villainizing her and her young sons, for simply trying to keep them safe and close to her. In today’s crazy and dangerous world, she has as much right to protect her sons as you do your daughter. Get over yourself. Your kid is no more important and anyone else’s!
Gosh, people like you make me so irritated. I have daughters and sons and there isn’t one of them I’m willing to take chances with when it comes to their safety! My oldest is 13, and if he goes to the restroom when his Dad isn’t with us, I stand immediately outside the restroom door where I can hear him yell for help if someone were in there to cause him harm. And you best believe if he yelled for me, this 37 year old woman would be in the men’s restroom in the blink of an eye. Because he might be 13, but he’s MY baby, and it’s my job to protect him. It will always be my job, until I die!
Our children do not outgrow the right to be protected!

My boys don’t go into the rest rooms unaccompanied. Period. They’re 11 and 8. Kids aren’t strong enough mentally or physically to fend off an adult. Once the damage is done, it’s done. So if I’m not around my 11 year old will go in the restroom with his mother.

I have a son and still made him go into most public bathrooms with me around that age. You don’t think 9/10 year olds are at risk of being attacked by strange adults when entering a restroom alone? Why? Because their boys? Not to mention, it’s not your place to tell other parents what their kids are ready for. I think it’s utterly ridiculous that you reported parents to security for essentially being diligent in protecting their children. It’s also silly to suggest these boys were looking at your 9 month old in an inappropriate way. This whole post ….

I took my 8 year old son into a restroom at the WIC office with me, years ago. There was an older woman there with her twin granddaughters who went to someone who worked there and complained. (The rules of the WIC office were that you never left your kids unattended, just for some general background) and I had done this often when I went to the WIC office. The worker then came and told me he wasn’t allowed in the restroom with me, as it was a women’s restroom. I nicely reminded her of their very own policy and she couldn’t think of a comeback. Then I went into further detail and explained that since their office is in a horrible part of town, my son would go wherever I went. And then explained that he had 2 younger sisters and he did not care what anyone was doing in the restroom, he was waiting for me to use the facilities and change a dirty diaper. The worker still insisted on him not being in there. So when 15 minutes later my 5 year old daughter had to use the restroom, I stood with the restroom door wide open, with me in between the bathroom and the lobby while my daughter used the bathroom and my son stood 3 feet away where I could see him in clear view. The worker then came to complain about me having the door wide open. And I simply responded, I’m following your rules. I’m watching all my kids, and my 8 year old son is not in the women’s restroom. Shrugged at her and ignored her after that.
If people have a real issue over smaller (still elementary age children) being in the bathroom with the only supervising adult, they should make more family restrooms available. Or how about we stop sexualizing situations like this? Judge me if you like, but none of my kids ever stood around in public places waiting for me to go in a restroom, change a diaper or what have you. They stood right where I could see them. So sorry this OP has overreacted in my opinion. Wait till your daughter’s a little older and you will understand how messed up you sound right now.

The boys mom definitely forced them to go in there because they are old enough to walk in to the bathroom at 9 and 10 with mom standing outside the door if they have stalls in the mens room.
The world sucks for all kids. I understand you being uncomfortable but if you were in the other mom’s shoes maybe you would understand why she took them in. We all have to keep our kids safe. Unfortunately kids go missing everyday and all moms have to pee

they may not be mature enough to wait outside or maybe the mom is scared of someone taking them/something happening while she’s in the bathroom.

All the boy mom’s are really upset but do y’all make your boys go in the stall with yall or maybe make them sit on the floor so they are off to the side? I am honestly asking because if they are just walking around it’s not really sexualized but like being nosey to me as a girl mom and I would have told them to sit down until their mother was done in the bathroom as more of a sit down and behave type of thing. At that age they are more curious about things and learning about their bodies so they aren’t looking to be gross they look to understand. So its not a problem that they are there in the bathroom but there is a way to make it more comfortable for everyone in my opinion.
