[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Using the word prude makes someone a potty mouth? You've just proven her point, Ms Prudy.

You are also redefining the discussion. OP referenced a five year old, within the rules at her pool. You fabricated pools that have rules for three year olds and then insisted that a three year olds need to be supervised did not trump your screwed up daughter's "need" to be comfortable.

Btw, my daughter is not comfortable in communal changing rooms. [b]She is particularly uncomfortable around middle age women.[/b]  Perhaps I should demand that you change elsewhere? After all, it's all about the ten year old's comfort isn't it?  I thought that a reasonable parent would tell her to suck it up, but I guess I need to demand special treatment like you instead.

It was pointed out that you are nuts.  You have no right to dictate what mothers do with their young children especially when it involves them being unsupervised.  If you have a problem with the rules then you need to go elsewhere. End of story.[/quote]

Love this - I remember being being 9 or 10 and being slightly uncomfortable with the middle age women standing around naked - they seemed to take forever.  Not sure why but it eeked me and my friends out.  I think it may have been seeing the effects of gravity.   But it was really no big deal and we just changed quickly in the bathroom or shower stalls.

I don't remember ever being bothered by young boys in the locker room and I know they were there particularly when I lived in Sweden.  I'm pretty sure boys there used the lockers and saunas with their mothers or sitters until they were 10 or 11.  [/quote]

Yes, this! This exactly. A lot of the middle aged women (I'm one myself now) would make me SO uncomfortable. I'm so glad nobody let me tell them to go. I'm not super comfortable changing in the locker room at this point anyway. I don't understand this whole gender big deal anyway. Should gay women and men be forced to change in the opposite locker room? no? Why not? It just doesn't make sense. If someone prizes modesty, and I completely understand how they could, then we should have plenty of enclosed changing stalls. If your pool is too cheap to have them, take it up with management, rather than taking it out on some poor mom of a young boy just trying to do what's best for her child. There's NO reason for open changing rooms, really, I mean, most people prefer not to look at other people's genitals and prefer not to have their own genitals looked at. It's human nature to be private - and I personally feel that way regarding either sex. Now, that doesn't mean I think people should be FORCED to change in the enclosed spaces, I just think that it's many people's preferences. [/quote]
