[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]

My 7 year old changes after swim (indoor pool) in the winter and has me hold a towel up bc there are 4 and 5 year old boys nearby in the girls locker room when their moms take them. She would be horrified to see a classmate in there or even see her in underwear. There is no family changing room and no way to the pool except through locker rooms. Usually DH and I both go, but sometimes I take both kids and I just try to hurry my 4 year old boy quickly through the girls locker room. [/quote]
