[quote=Anonymous]I have a 5 year old boy and we have been going to the pool every day.   There is no family changing room there, just men's and women's rooms.  I have him walk through the men's room to come and go to the pool, but when he has to go to the bathroom, he needs my help with his wet bathing suit.  So I take him into the women's room.  The pool has a policy that children over 6 must use the gender appropriate bathroom, so my child is technically OK going into the women's room.  However, there are many unclothed women and girls in there and he gawks at them, as much as I tell him to look straight ahead, do your business, and let's get out.

I don't want to make the other women uncomfortable.  I have no idea if they are uncomfortable or not.  Most are Asian and Russian immigrants and have I have no idea if cultural norms are different or not.

Should I help him practice with his swim suit so he can go to the bathroom by himself in the men's room?  Am I making too big a deal of this?   [/quote]
