[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like you do what you have to do, and if your 8 year old isn’t responsible enough to go to the bathroom alone, you take them to the women’s bathroom.

However, I really think boys over the age of 5 or so should not go into Women’s locker rooms. My daughter became really self conscious changing in front of a boy her age in the locker room at the pool once, and I thought it was crazy that mommy brought him in there (he, and my DD, were about 5).[/quote]

I don't understand why people even do this.  I never even took my sons in the locker room at the pool.  I would literally (even when they were well below the age to be allowed in there) enter at the shower end, use the showers closest to the entrance, and then just dress them super quickly in there.  The one time we used the locker room to change (we weren't coming from home) there was a little girl from pre-school in the locker room.  Yikes![/quote]

So facilities are all laid out differently.  I don't know why I have to point this out.  Locker rooms are not always separated. At our swim school, the "locker room" was really just a big room with benches, shelves overhead, and two stalls with toilets. The showering part was a room you had to go through the locker room to get to. [/quote]

I'm the PP you are responding to, and if I had to walk my sons through through a room of naked women and girls to get to the shower I would just shower my kids at home.  That's not fair to anyone involved.[/quote]
