I'm glad that you're referring to yourself as a child, because that's how you sound.
Other children in real life? Yeah, an anonymous forum of mostly adults, yourself excluded, is entirely representative of how I speak to children. Yes, you're right. Good one.[/quote]

Your previous post gave an example of what you could do instead of explaining to your child who has the privilege of using the larger stall. At five, she should be able to read the logo if it's present, and to understand that other people, even other children, need more room because of a disability.  Calm down and give it a try; unless she has a learning disability she will understand. If she does have a learning or cognitive disability, or perhaps if she has severe  behavioral issues you are correct, you can use the stall. [/quote]

If other people need the stall, as I have said 1000 times on here, they are welcome to use it and we will defer. As it is, most people use it because the regular stalls are hard pressed to fit one overweight person in there. When my daughter is in a one piece, she requests help. I cannot fit in the small stall. And that's what I choose to do. But perhaps it was you who said I was raising an offensive self-centered child. So you can understand that I don't give a crap when you say I can use the stall. I will use it when I deem fit, and that means when no one else is around or using it. I'm done talking to you. [/quote]

NP here - yes, PP, none of these posters are the Boss of You and if you want to run the risk of inconveniencing disabled people who need the stall to make your life that much more pleasant, you can. If you want to teach your daughter that it's more important for you both to have extra elbow room while you change than to respect the needs of others (even if they're not immediately present right at the moment you walk into the stall), you can. If you want to teach your daughter that she should consider others only after she's made herself as comfortable as possible, you can.

What charming lessons for her to learn. [/quote]

Think of an airplane bathroom. That's about the size of these regular stalls in the bathroom. There is literally no room for your knees to fit and yes, it's hard for me to fit in there and help my daughter with her wet suit. You're right, I'm a horrible mother because I'm potentially inconveniencing potential users of wheelchairs who potentially will show up at the exact two minutes I'm using the stall, along with everyone else.
Thanks for the life lesson. Believe me when I tell you your argument means nothing to me because I have eyes and ears and see that I'm inconveniencing no one but people like you who will be offended at made up issues. I hope you're not teaching your children to be offended at everything under the sun. [/quote]
