Toilets with children

This thread does sound a little strange. Jalima is just warning others in case the motive is inappropriate.

I remember going in to a loo in France with an Aunt. She was most upset that men queued alongside women, and to cap it all there was a woman asking how many sheets you required. Also, has anyone ever visited one of those in France that stand on street corners? I was always afraid that the door would open whilst I was still sat on the throne.

Trisher that made me laugh knowing my grandson and the toilet I think he'd still be on it if we didnt all keep yelling with crossed legs

I think this is a dodgy post, OP seems to know exactly what went on inside the gents but says her DH wouldn't go.
If it did happen I don't think there is anything wrong in it.
When I was teaching and took children swimming I would sometimes (if I couldn't find a staff member) go into the male changing room to hurry the boys along. I always banged on the door and shouted before went in and no one ever objected. If I hadn't done it some of the boys would probably still be there!

It's the OP's only posting if you do a search....unless I am doing that incorrectly. But she may be an innocent lurker, too, and embarrassed now to respond.

Still... odd!

That's worrying, notanan☹️

what was guess work? how old the child was? doesn't matter, still very young and taking her to a blokes toilets in the pub isn't what I'd do Okay, but what would you do instead?

BTW there have been a number of threads on MN about things like children sharing beds, masterbation/curiosity, what type of underware to buy for children etc.. which turned out to be from OPs who had unpleasant reasons for asking… and lots of posters gave details replies of what happens with their kids. I must admit it didn't occur to me that this could be one of those threads, I probably should be more alert/suspicious, but now that it's been mentioned it is possible. Whether it is or not, there are people who use parenting/grandparenting forums in that way

I just think there is something really not right with the thread title. Do children ever come as an optional extra with a toilet? Thought we were going upmarket when we got one with a soft-closing seat/lid.

to be honest I m beginning to wonder if it was a made up story to stir
Thank goodness it is not just me and another poster who think there is something distinctly odd about this OP.

I find it very disturbing and am worried that many posters have put their own experiences and views on the thread.
Perhaps I worked in the wrong kind of job .....

Stillalive this was not the posters child she was speculating on the whole story she Imagined she was 2 she imagined the child was left alone while the dad peed It's really a non starter as the whole story is a What if and to be honest I m beginning to wonder if it was a made up story to stir
Anyway the vast majority of posters have no problem with the original question just a couple of rather judgemental posts

Need to rephrase that. A little girl shouldn't be taken into the blokes toilets in a pub.

what was guess work? how old the child was? doesn't matter, still very young and taking her to a blokes toilets in the pub isn't what I'd do.

That's what I said. How could she possibly know? It was just guesswork.

The OP stated she was 2.

Although of course we don't know how old the child was. We only know what the OP (who seems to have disappeared) told us.

Somehow she 'knew' the child was 2 and she also 'knew' that the father left his daughter outside the cubicle while he used the toilet.

If it's a small pub, I'd just ask the staff to stand guard whilst I took the little one into the ladies (if I were a man in charge of the little one). Go out in the carpark in this weather? Don't forget to take serviettes for wiping.

And when likely she's just gotten toilet trained?

That would send my DGD straight back into nappies, she'd see the process as very uncomfortable and happier to go back to peeing in her gel-padded Pampers!

Id do either of your last two ideas Elgran. She was 2.

So if the little girl (or a boy) is there with no female family members, should they let her wet her pants? Ask a strange woman to take her in? (you hear some awful things about women too) go home? take her outside to the car park and have her squat behind a car?

You were copying the same attitude.

You are rude.

You were the one asking if the OP was bored so I just mirrored your rude comment Jalima.

No, it was not me who posted it - I merely copied it from someone else who is obviously of the same mind as me

You are the one who is rude

I have taken my DS into a pub now and again when little, I wouldn't take a little girl in the mens nor a little boy for that matter.

You were the one asking if the OP was bored so I just mirrored your rude comment Jalima.

What are you concerned about? That the OP was bored?

Jalima, Im not bored, are you?


Not bored, just concerned.

So what would you do, stillaliveandkicking? Or perhaps you're one of those who would never take a child into a pub...?

Jalima, Im not bored, are you?

People that think it acceptable to take a girl into a male toilet in the pub need their bumps felt.

Totally support the OP.
