I have a parenting etiquette question.

So if you're a parent, help me out with this. Because I try to be sympathetic to parents because I am one. I've got two kids. But this has happened to me now twice over the last couple of weeks. And the first time it happened, I was in Charleston a few weeks ago. And I'm at a restaurant. And I go into the men's bathroom. And while I'm in there, I'm doing my thing, doing my number one, right?

Mm-hmm. I'm at a restaurant and I go into the men's bathroom and while I'm in there, I'm doing my thing, doing my number one, right?

Mm-hmm.

A father will walk in there with his daughter.

Right?

Now, obviously he's there by himself, maybe a single dad, maybe he's just got his daughter for the night, right?

Mm-hmm.

And my assumption is he

doesn't want her to go into the girls bathroom, the women's bathroom by herself for whatever

reason. He doesn't feel that that's safe. And that makes sense to me at a certain age. But like

twice now over the last couple of weeks, it's been like seven or eight year old girls.

And I'm wondering where the cutoff is on that, because to me it doesn't seem real healthy for the girl.

And it certainly is uncomfortable for all the guys that are in the men's bathroom.

Am I just being sensitive to that, or does this seem a little strange?

I never thought about single dads or dads with their kids in the guys' bathroom because in a women's bathroom, it is, I mean, it doesn't even faze you because you see kids in there all the time with their mom.

So I'm surprised that he would not think a seven or eight year old girl could go to the bathroom on her own in a women's restroom because maybe, I mean, I guess I can see where he'd be concerned about her being in a room full of strangers, but I just don't understand why she couldn't go the bathroom by herself. And I'm just curious what the etiquette is on that. Has that ever happened to you? I can't think it's, I don't think it's ever happened to me, but I can see, like, I'm trying to, see, I'm terrible with kids ages.

Like, I always have to ask Jessica, how old's that one, how old, you know what I mean? But, like. I used to be until I had my own, and I could tell they were older than Hayden, and Hayden's five and a half. So I'm going to assume she was like, both of them were like seven or eight years old. But, like, eight years old is like. seems icky

yeah

to be in the guy's

bathroom
