I don't think that's common. The mom probably had extenuating circumstances. Perhaps the ladies room was closed and the 3 year old was about to wet himself. Perhaps the 3 year old had just learned how to use a urinal, and for whatever 3 year old reason was in a phase where he would now only go on a urinal, if in public. Perhaps it was not the mom, but an emergency babysitter with no experience with kids and was confused about which bathroom to go in. I'm thinking it was a fluke.
I've not heard of that and thinks it's unusual but honestly, some posters who've been around long enough might remember threads/posts by people infuriated that a mom dared to bring her male toddler into the ladies room. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
This. I think a 3 year old boy should be taken to the ladies room rather than a woman go into the men's room. I think that is the norm. But, yes, people will complain about that, too. Maybe she figured there was nothing she hadn't seen before in the men's room, but wanted to shield her son from the ladies room. ??? I'm guessing.
Totally different. There WERE men in there (the OP's husband, using the urinal). Just because you're comfortable with doing something yourself doesn't give you the right to cross other people's boundaries. Also, NO REASON has been given why she couldn't have taken her three year-old into the women's room. Ladies' restrooms all have stalls so the problem of seeing others or being seen is eliminated. Just because you're a parent doesn't mean you get a pass to impose on others. If a grown man had a young daughter who needed to change into a swimsuit, does that give him the right to enter a female locker room at a public pool or spa where female adults and children are in their underwear and in many cases totally nude?
I actually take my son to swimming and there is a room in the ladies room where men can take their daughters or moms take their sons. You have to walk a bit in the ladies locker room. SO you could see something if you were watching.
Nope, that is why I said "I don't really see what your point is".

Except posters have already said that a man coming into the women's restroom is much worse. Which I don't get. Its all enclosed, there is nothing to see.

But the reality is, men expose themselves in front of urinals to do their business, and some of them prefer to do so without having unknown women in a position to observe them. I honestly don't know why this is such a hard concept for some people to understand.
But its okay for unknown men to observe you? Why would you even think people are observing you while in the restroom, is that really a thing that people do? Do you watch other men in the restroom? I don't know what goes on in the men's restroom, but I know I'm not hanging out in the women's restroom looking at everyone in there. Even in the gym locker room, where its all open, I'm not hanging out, looking at other people. I do what I need to do and move on. Sorry, most people are not going to be that interested in you where they'll want to stand and watch you pee.

Rubbish, no one every complains about a toddler in a ladies roo.... never in a million years.
I wish that I had few enough problems in my life that I could afford myself the luxury of actually giving a sh*t about what bathrooms people use, but alas that is not the case.
I know, right?
As a woman, I don't care two figs who is or isn't in the restroom while I'm peeing.
And I'll never understand why anyone would.

And I'm guessing there was something she wanted to see, so she used her son as an excuse to become "Peeping Tina".
