[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do feel like this feeds into a bigger conversation about the need for family changing rooms and bathrooms! We have three daughters and before they were old enough to go to the bathroom by themselves, anytime my husband was out and about alone with them, it was always such an annoyance. Checking if there was anyone in the women's or men's so he could go in there with them or asking a woman to keep an eye on them or having to stand watch at the door. Don't even get me started on when they were babies and barely any changing stations in the men's room! So many problems solved with family bathrooms. [/quote]

Our county rec center has 6 family changing rooms yet there is always a long line for them. I agree with the PP who suggested deck showers where you can rinse in your suit. Then we can all go change in a variety of other places including at home.

Also, manners is a big part of this. Most people won't have a problem with your 5-8 year old quickly and discretely changing in a corner of the room. Kids (or adults) who stare are bring rude and gross, as are kids who giggle because they see butts or whatever. The only time I've been offended by a kid in a locker room was a boy of about 6, possibly SN, who was commenting on people around him. That kid needed to change elsewhere.[/quote]
