[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe these aren't the best years for you to be taking your male children to the pool. [b]Don't you have a husband?[/b][/quote]

[b]Not the OP but this is ridiculous - husband or not a 5 yo boy should be able to use the women's locker with his mother[/b].  I take my 4.5 yo to swim lessons and my husband rarely comes.  I don't want to wait for ONE family/handicapped changing room nor tie it up when there are people who really need it.[/quote]

I"m not the PP you quoted, but I disagree.   If a trusted adult male is available to take the boy into the men's room, they should do that.   [b]I find it really weird when older boys go into the women's room with their moms while Dad waits outside.  [/b] I say this as a mother of 4 sons, whose husband was in the military when they were growing up and deployed often.   When I was out alone with my boys, and there was a "family room" option, I always used it.

So yes, OP, if there is a family room available, seek it out.[/quote]

Ah, the ubiquitous DCUM straw man.  PP, how often does this really happen?  [/quote]
