Bringing daughter into the mens room at a store (babies, toddler, parent)

[kell490]

So I'm at a target store in the men's room using the urinal when some guy brings his 7 or 8 year old daughter in the men's room to use the stall. His daughter is looking at me with her eyes size of saucers I'm trying to get out of there as fast as I can the urinal had no side wall. Seems unless your kids are babies they belong in the appropriate bathroom. When I was a kid at 7 or 8 I went into the men's room not the woman's bathroom.

Maybe she needed to go desperately, and he didn't want to leave his daughter alone....even for a few minutes...and that's understandable in this day and age.

She is to old to be in the men's room, she needs to be going to the woman's restroom or her father needs to take her into the family restroom if available.

This has been covered recently in this thread:

Mother takes toddler into men's room to pee

At 7 or 8 perhaps she had special needs and there was no "family" restroom available. Let it go and move along.

age 8 is around the time I started having my boys go into the men's room w/o me. It is stressful to know that they aren't very big yet, and they are somewhere I can't go. Give dad a break. He was doing the safest thing, and what he thought was right. I doubt either of you will be scarred for life over this.

I can see where this is headed. Mods, cleanup in the men's restroom

Oh god, here we go again.

I don't think you can really guess the age of a girl, nor can you know the exact situation. I do feel bad for men who have to take daughters into the men's room...but some times girls have to pee.

OP said it was at Target. At Target you can use whatever restroom you want.

Also, in before the lock.
