[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This argument, which happens at least once a year, is absurd.  If you don't like the rules of the club, don't go to that club.

Why should my 10 year old daughter have to deal with your 5+ year old son staring at her while she changes?

You can change you son at home, in the car, or even by putting a towel around his waist so that he can do a deck change.

You could also accompany him into the men's locker room.  As a father, I would rather you see me naked than have your son see my daughter naked.

When you break the rule and bring your son into the ladies locker room, you are just saying that you think his welfare is more important than the welfare of my daughter and all of the other young girls in that locker room.

Firstly my 5 year old son has ABSOLUTELY ZERO interest in looking at your 10 year old daughter.  Secondly, if your 10 year old daughter should think that my 5 year old son was looking at her it is YOUR DUTY as a parent to tell her that he's just a little kid, that she should mind her own business and get on with getting clothed.  Where are all you people that see so much nudity in the changing room anyway?  I certainly don't ever see ANYONE naked, nor am I, myself, standing there naked in any way that people can really see anything significant.[/quote]

That is just the most ridiculous response.  How exactly do you reason with a pre-teen about something like this?  Do you have a daughter?

As noted above, why don't you go into the men's changing room with your son.  You should not worry about anyone looking at you, you should just mind your own business and get on with getting clothed. [/quote]

No, yours is the most ridiculous response.  You are really advocating that a grown woman go in the men's?  No, you clearly passed on your ridiculous hang ups to your TEN YEAR OLD.  She's 10.  Tell her to grow the hell up and that a 5 year old isn't ogling her then get on with your business.[/quote]

I am advocating you going into the men's locker room with your son.  You area a grown woman, you can get over yourself.  No one in the men's locker room will be interested in ogling your middle aged body.  I will trade my discomfort with having you in a locker room with me if I can spare my daughter the discomfort of having to be in the locker room with your son.[/quote]

You do realize there are rules about being in the opposite gender's restrooms... you do read the news where everyone is up in arms over transgendered people doing it.  Take your daughter into a private stall as most people do who want privacy.  Problem solved.  No reason why a mother cannot bring her child in for a quick change.  We are in and out in a few minutes at most.[/quote]

FFS, towel off and put on sweatpants by the side of the pool!  You're fine, your kid's fine, everyone's fine, win-win-win![/quote]
