My son is four and I took him to the women's bathroom with me at a convenient store on our vacation. These women were in there and made the funniest faces at me for doing so. My son is not a big four year old either, he would pass for being three. What do you guys think. I just don't know what kind of men are in the men's bathroom. There are a lot of perverts out there. ↓

it is different to take a child into a womens bathroom with doors than into a mens bathroom with urinals there is nothing to see in a womens room so i dont see a problem until about 9 and thats only because of their psych development ↑

I had an old women tell me, "he is a boy and he shouldn't be in here", this was when he was 2 1/2. I still do it, and if they don't like it, then they can leave. After hearing a story about a boy that had his throut slashed in the mens bathroom at a rest area ( his grandmother told him to go on in the bathroom), and an hour later he was still in there. Dead just like that. It was terrible. ↑

It was in the paper, It seems as if he were 5 or so. I don't recall. ↑

These days, you have to keep them with you all the time, no matter what others think. ↑

You are absolutely right. Don't let them out of your sight. I hate taking the two of them to Wal-Mart. I always make Colin ride in the buggy and Alison is not allowed to let go of it... ↑

We almost lost our 4 yr old at Myrtle Beach, he would not stay with me and left the shop. I freaked out and then I turned around and there he was. Sometimes they just want listen. ↑
