*DH came up with a really good question the other day. As someone who will no

*some strange woman? Take her into a grotty mens' loo?

Yeah, take her into the grotty mens' loo, what else??
I mean, around here, most of the mens' rooms aren't that grotty, but if we
go into the city, yep, grottiness abounds . And we DO have a good number
of "family" bathrooms at local malls and such, but not everyplace has
them. You just do what you have to do. Certainly I take my son (he'll be 4
in September) into the womens' rooms when we're out and about and I don't
think twice about it.

*Changing is an issue in itself. I can't think of any unisex baby changing
*facilities in town. We have a womens' rest room, which has toilet facilities
*for women with a large room at the front suitable for changing or feeding a
*baby, but only toilets for men and there is a bold sign in front of the
*restrooms stating that the facilities are for women/children only and mens'
*toilets are around the side.

Oh, that's odd. It says women/children can go in one, and men in another?
Not men/children??? I think they just need to change the signs to read
women/children and men/children, and they'll be all set . Either that,
or they need to change the signs to read men/women/children, and men only
