Moms with boys using men’s locker room?

Moms cannot win. Those licker rooms have problems and are not safe for young kids. If they bring them to the women’s women scream too.

Which is why separate family locker rooms are important.

Me either, but we have all experienced this.

Boy moms are the WORST.

It’s a simple rule, really: grown women are not allowed in the men’s bathroom/ shower. If that rule is a problem, it’s on those women to go to management and solve it; not just skirt the rule.

If I were OP and this happened while I was in the shower a second time, I would lather up the flag-pole ‘til it pointed skyward, and march right out of the shower toward these mommies without a towel. Hey, it’s my shower room not theirs. You barge in? You see what you see.

Something tells me they’d soon find some other solution.

I have always taken my son (5.5) to the women locker rooms. My son does not care as he is used to see me and his sisters naked. I hope the ladies don’t care too much.

I would never go to the men’s locker rooms! No chance! If the girls can’t stand a 5 year old boy in the same locker room, they can change somewhere else (or ask the administration to build family locker rooms). In my experience, similarly aged girls have not cared at all that may son changes in the same locker room. Also, it’s not like they all hang out naked.

But realistically, this is what family change rooms are for. Can you bring it up to management? They might have an easy solution and can share with the parents of the swim class.

This is because you are self absorbed and don't want to acknowledge how mortifying it would be for a 7yo girl to have her male classmates stare at her while she is naked.

They do care (at least some of them.)
Where else should they change? They are in the right spot. Your kid isn't. Your kid can change "somewhere else."

OP has it happened again?

Sounds like Burke Racquet Club. We stopped doing swim lessons there because they would let any small boys into the women's locker room, but we couldn't send our 4-year olds into the men's room alone. Stupid, stupid rule.

Sorry, I meant they would not let any boys, even little ones, into the womens room. I mistyped.

And risk water on my leather car seats?

What gets me is that this was a group. Like, one mom and one boy I can still see the issue—BUT I would also be more understanding of her dilemma/fears/whatever.

But two+ boys can handle the mens locker room by themselves. It’s the buddy system. I’d have been perturbed.

Yes but when they are unavailable are parents supposed to create them on the spot?

My dad used to take me, a girl, to swim lessons. Imagine how much worse that was. I still remember the annoyance everyone gave us for just existing.
