I can't imagine dealing with this with boys. I would be so freaked out! I'd make them come into the ladies' room with me until they were 18. You can do that, right?

Oy. My kids are not allowed to grow up period, the end. Also, hilarious, while terrifying, that's hard to do.

Thanks for warning me about what is in my future with my two-year-old dude. These worries have had no reason to enter my mind yet. Thanks for planting them in there prematurely. I have lots of room in my brain for premature worries.

I have had more than one experience in which a mother walked into the men's room.

If I am in the middle of my business in a stall I am not going to yell back at you. Just not going to happen.

My five year old daughter hates going into the Men's room and throws a fit. She wants to know why I can't just stand in the doorway of the Ladies' room.

Didn't bother to try and explain why that is a bad idea.

2009-10-01T10:43:20.706-05:00

T gets mad at me but I still make him use the ladies room with me most of the time and he is six. What age will I stop, I don't know. I let E at 11 go in the ladies room but not as much worry there.
I just can never forget a story I heard on the news years ago.It was reporting that a male child age 12 had been molested and killed in an airport bathroom, while his aunt stood outside the restroom. Okay, now you'll never let him go alone again. Sorry.

Another reason I'm so happy to have a girl. The whole men's bathroom thing would have turned me inside-out.

Hmmm...would be an interesting scrapbook page...

Unfortunately, this is almost too true to be funny.

As the mom of four boys, I have my own set of rules for Men's Bathroom etiquette. Feel free to read my post on the subject.

I send C in with a friend at Family Movie Night at a local museum last week. I could hear them from just outside the door sizing up the urinal:
"Let's use that!"
"We can't, it's too tall."

This is the one advantage to a son in college.

2009-09-29T20:59:20.313-05:00

Crazy- we just had our first experience on Sunday with my six year-old refusing the ladies room with me, and insisting on going to the men's room. Oh, and just to make the horror perfect, this showdown happened at a public park. So I stood outside the nasty latrine while my little guy marked his territory. With poop, naturally.

"I might feel better about this if you scrapbook." Brilliant line. Simply marvelous.

My wife always takes our kids into the ladies room. So she never had that problem. Me... well a few girls walked in on me since there was a long line to use the females restroom. My bladder almost busted on the way home that night!

oh my GOD that was hysterical.

You are too funny....way too funny. I love how you told the story, because at first, I was like, "What the hey is she doing in a men's restroom?" Very nice way to lead us into the story, and the payoff was great.

My kids always come into the ladies. No worries then as I can stand outside the private cubicle and guard... Although, there was that time my daughter got locked in and couldn't get out again... (Won't go into that here...)

2009-09-29T11:23:59.158-05:00

There's probably not room here to relay the story of my husband in a restroom in a Chi-Chis. Here is the short version:

He opted for the stall. Then a small boy entered the restroom and tried to open the door. When that failed, he tried crawling UNDER it. Exterior door opens. It's his mother. "There's a MAAAAN in here," child wails. Mom enters restroom. "Use the urinal." "I can't. It's too tall." Mom picks up child. Husband can see their feet. He is paralyzed. "GO!" says mother. "I can't go!" wails boy. "Just go!" Exterior door opens. It is the little sister . . . "MOM!!!!!!!"

He still wakes up screaming.

Escuse me while I compose myself. (Bwahahahaha, snort...)

I have found you through Maggie,Dammit. I don't have sons (3 daughters) but I do volunteer for a non profit who exists to empower children, parents and communities against juvenile sexual assault. Good for you! Good for you doing what you need to do to protect your son. (And then writing about it so expertly and entertaining the masses with adventures in sexual assault prevention.) Good for you!
