[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, just be prepared that some parents are not going to be comfortable with a drop off at a movie theatre with that many kids and few adults.  Who would take the kids to the bathroom?  I would not want my child to go knowing you'd probably send them in the bathroom alone.  I'd have no problem paying for myself (no siblings so its a non-issue) but not a chance I'd send my 8 year old alone.[/quote]

You don't let your 8 year old go in the bathroom alone?  What if you have a kid of the opposite gender?  I have a boy and he's very big for his age (7).  It would be wildly inappropriate to go to the men's room with him or bring him to the women's room.  He's been going in the bathroom alone since he was probably 5.  I can't even remember honestly.[/quote]

Yes, my 7 year old still goes into the women's bathroom with me.  If you don't like it, too bad.[/quote]

This is sincerely mind blowing to me.  I also believe you are way in the minority because not once in my life have I seen a 7 year old boy using a public women's restroom.  I'm curious how long you plan to do this?  What's the cut off?

I'm curious too. I'll take your "too bad" and raise you one - once they can independently use the bathroom, they are all set to use the men's room. Your caution does not match the likely danger level of the scenario.[/quote]

No they aren't [b]and things happen in bathrooms[/b].  I take my 7 year old in and am not at all concerned about what others think. [/quote]

Please enlighten us with what happens in the men's bathroom at movie theater during a matinee.  I am honestly curious.  [/quote]

Not the mom who pees with her 7 year old boy at all times, but people like this think a perv is going to accost their child.  The thing is, I'm sure this has happened before to someone at some time but as someone suggested, it's probably best to prepare your kid for what to do if that happens rather than pee with him until college.[/quote]

Very true. And it is going to be horrible for your child when he sees his 1st grade classmates in the ladies room and they are all talking about it in school on Monday.  Find a family restroom or stop taking him out alone in public unless you have a male with you to use a men's room. He is too old. [/quote]
