[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Suprised at the number of people concerned about 4-5-6-7 year olds boys in the locker room.  I know when I change I do so quickly and discretely.  Also I try not to look at others while they are changing.  I teach my children to do the same in public lockers.  Not sure what the big problem is. [/quote]

I've been a locker room where the 5-6-7 year old stood around and stared at the naked old ladies. It wasn't sexual, just obnoxious and rude. The ladies' locker room is for ladies to change. I shouldn't have to hunt down a bathroom stall to change because OP is too privileged to wait for the family locker room or change her kid in the handicapped stall in the women's room.

I have, in fact, said something to mothers who bring their big boys into the ladies' room.  I am polite, but firm, and tell them that [b]the rules of the pool are that boys over the age of 3 are too big to be in the ladies' locker room and that they should use the family locker rooms[/b].  I also tell them that their children are making other people uncomfortable.   I've had a few people yell back at me, but I promise you that their embarrassment (breaking rules, rude kid, now Mom is acting rudely, too)  was a lot greater than my discomfort over their rudeness.

If this is a rule, I don't know what we're talking about. You can buy a house with a pool and institute your own rules. As long as you're on public property, you should adhere to the standars set for you. End of discussion.[/quote]
