[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By 5 or 6, he was using the men's room. Maybe not at a busy train station but at most typical bathrooms in restaurants and malls and public places. He is a boy, he knows he is a boy - [b]I find it weird their are posters who consider their kids genderless and sexless because they are children.[/b] My boys are males and they use male restrooms.

I find it weird when I see an older boy in the women's locker rooms or bathrooms but I realize it isn't the kids fault. They have weird parents. Just like the 'my kids are kids - they aren't male or female, they have no sex or gender' posters on here. Weird people out there. The kid can't choose or control their weird parents so I as an adult can go somewhere else or ask the child to turn around if they are gawking at me (yes, I did that at a swimming pool locker room when a boy who looked 8-10 was staring at me changing). If I see any kid, male ore female peering through the cracks in the door, I will ask them to move. I had one kid (about 4-5) crawl under the stall once in a public bathroom. I told him that was rude and to leave immediately and that we don't watch people go to the bathroom.

Kids don't choose their parents. I educate where I can if there is a situation involving me so at least the kids have heard another perspective. [/quote]

Of course our boys know that they're boys.  :roll: And they know their sister is a girl. They know that they have penises and their sister doesn't. So what? You think little kids care about the sign on some random door?

Seriously, for someone judging other parents for being "weird" when they're really just being sane and responsible, you're very weird.

The only people who DON'T consider a small child to be sexless is a sexual predator. Fact. Oh, and perhaps a few misguided old women on DCUM.[/quote]
