[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry but if your son is old enough to gawk at my daughter's naked body, then he should be old enough to pull up his own pants.[/quote]

It doesn't work that way.  He has fine motor skill delays.  But at least he has empathy for others. [/quote]

Your son's delays don't mean that my daugther has to give up her privacy.  She should be able to go into a locker room for her gender and not be gawked at.  Are you sure he has empathy - then why is he staring and making other people uncomfortable?[/quote]

New Poster.  Sigh.  This is how these threads always turn out.  What's the point?[/quote]

NP here.  First pp, OP did not indicate in her post that her child might gawk at others or cannot pull up his pants at 6 years old because he has a motor delay.  If that was OP even posting.  And yes, it does make a difference because maybe posters would have understood her predicament more.

Second, just because a child is special needs does not mean rules should be broken.  If a pool has an age limit in a locker room, it is there for a reason.  A naked 13 year-old girl chaning in the appropriate place should not be made to feel uncomfortable if a 10 year old SN boy needs to enter to use the bathroom.  Sorry it is what it is and if the pool does not have a handicapped restroom for multiples then maybe this is something that people should take up with management.

Signed someone who has a 50 year old uncle with special needs.[/quote]
