[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, at 3.5 it is acceptable to bring him into the women's room.   When my kids were little, our local pool (YMCA on the west coast) had a policy that beginning at age 4, opposite sex children could not go into the locker rooms. I thought that was extreme, especially considering this was in an area near a large military base and it was during the Iraq war, so lots of moms with little boys and no Dads around.

I do think, that if your husband (or other male relative) is around, he should take your son to the men's locker room.   [b]It does annoy me when I see a mom bringing her 12 year old son in the women's room[/b] and Dad is waiting outside. [/quote]

TWELVE?!?!?!

That's absurd, and should be reported immediately.

I mean, at out pool there are tons of kids 10 and up by themselves, without a parent at all.

What 12 yo needs help changing?  [/quote]

A kid who has SN that you cannot see.  I am not ok with my son being in a locker room alone, especially at a public pool.  I think its a bit different with less people in a private pool but remember not everyone is going to a private pool.  We go to a public pool and after swim team/lessons there is no one at the gates and anyone can just walk in.  [/quote]

Please see the poster immediately below this post for how a responsible parent, and person, handles this.  FFS.  [/quote]

I am a very responsible parent which is why I supervise my kids, unlike many here.  You can easily just take them home during the summer but not when its freezing out.  Since I am a responsible parent we swim all year to keep up skills for water safety.[/quote]
