[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I do not care who is in the room when I change. We all have body parts… an 11 year old boy changing in the girls room with his mother is no big deal. Do I think he is going rape me? No. Do I think he will stare at me? Sure. And then life moves on.[/quote]

It's not a big deal to you as a grown woman who is not a peer. It is a big deal to my 11 year old pre-pubescent DD who goes to school with the kid. And yes, at our pool we have had a 10 year old boy regularly come into the women's locker room with his mom while my 8 year old DD and her friends were changing. He would sit on a bench and eat a popsicle and stare at the girls as they changed between swim practice and tennis. He had NO business in there.

The situation was 100% not ok and we did have to say something to the manager because the mom ignored other mom's requests to get him out of there. The Board read the mom the riot act and she started using the standalone family bathroom/changing room.[/quote]

Have your kids wear their suit to the pool and change at home or in a stall. I don't get people like you who change out in the open or tell your kids to.  Mine don't change or shower at the pool except a rare occasion.[/quote]

Are you raising nevernudes?!

Why should a child at a swim and tennis club have to get in a car, go all the way home, change, and drive all the way back in between back-to-back practices to change if a perfectly usable locker room available for their use? It's not "out in the open". It's in an enclosed room designated for the specific purpose of showering and changing.

People who don't ever use a locker room that is literally built for changing clothes and showering are the weird ones. Not the people who use them![/quote]

If you want to use changing rooms then abide by the rules with no opposite sex over age 5 allowed in women's changing or restrooms.  Most places now have family changing rooms, use them.  If you have to wait, then wait your turn for the family changing rooms.[/quote]
