Would you be okay with a man coming into the women's bathroom to change his child's diaper?

[Smashingdoozy]

Since a lot of men's bathrooms do not have baby changing tables 🙄😤

My stance is obviously this shouldn't be a big deal at all. I also think that it's okay for a man to take his daughter who is too young to go to the bathroom on her own into the women's bathroom to go. We all know how disgusting men's stalls are 🥴

[MisterWack]

Let’s say I was the father who cares about his child’s diaper getting changed I would plea with women to let me change my baby’s diaper OR if it was empty I’d just do it & not care. I’m there to change a diaper not be a creep or whatever.

If I were a woman I’d actually find it sweet that a father could be so loving to not let bathroom signs keep him from changing his baby’s diaper.

Middle ground stance, men’s restrooms should have a diaper changing station so you wouldn’t need this.

[RebelinSteel]

I don’t see an issue with it, women’s toilets are all cubicles with a door, it’s a damn sight better than a guy changing a baby and urinals all around etc. Also nearly all toilets are inside a shop, or shopping centre, they can ask and explain why it is required.

[RebelinSteel]

@Smashingdoozy ref update, yeah guys toilets are horrendous and some are even worse.

[loves2learn]

Ugh. No. Not really. But the establishment should put them in the mens rooms.


I frequented a few places that had no changing facilities so I changed my baby on my portable changing pad on a bench. 🤷🏻‍♀️


You do what you gotta do.


I personally would change a stranger’s baby if needed. Happy to help.

[Damaged00]

If it was just me, I wouldn't care. Women's stalls all have doors and it's their only option to have access to a changing table. The only time I would have a problem with it is if my daughter was in there. So I feel as if the man should ask if it's ok.

[JohnK123]

That would be the smartest route

[Apple1996]

Yess that's no big deal

[AydenHazor]

I've had to do that in the past. As a single dad it was either change him in the women's room or at my table in the restaurant or in the middle of the door or take him out to my car. From my experience most women just appreciate that a dad is taking care of their child and understand and encourage you to use the changing table.

[MrGSpotHer]

Well I'd say something if I could to staff or I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do in this situation women's toilets do all have toilet surround by walls and doors from what I gather so if he lets his presence known because there's no open toilets and if a women takes offence to man looking after his kid when out then she's probably stuck up and a bit of a bitch but maybe it's just me but still no other choise kid comes first sorry

[MrGSpotHer]

Oh you have no idea how bad it is in there, I'm sure new lifeforms are emerging into being

[Nik1hil]

Hmm... Acceptable as long as He is the father or legal Guardian or right now is the only option and the Individual on which the baby is dependent upon.

I would prefer the female Washroom over males for this, especially if the baby is a girl..

If it's a baby Boy, Just change it out in open, ask help of another men, somebody will be willing to help!..

[Wiredone]

When my kids were young they didn't have those changing tables. I used to go in the men's room and change them on the counter. I'd wipe them clean then change my child.

If I had to do it in this day and age I would make my presence known before I enter the ladies room, change my child and leave.

[Daniela1982]

Not if it was this guy. 😫

[HelpfulWoman]

yes. we have stalls so he isn't seeing shit anyway. unless washing hands gets him off..

[WhitneySnow]

Sure. I’d be ok with that. But I’d be happier if the men’s room had changing tables too.

[Smashingdoozy]

Absolutely, should be standard to have changing tables in all bathrooms even better to have a parents room

[WhitneySnow]

Yes!

[GOLDFISH_smile]

Yes. Until men's restrooms are all updated so the baby isn't default only in the woman's space anymore.

[DJB72]

If it's the only changing area then by default it becomes universal access as long as the guy has a baby.

Without a baby he needs to stay the fuck out.

[Ironco]

When I had my baby nieces in the summer, when they were babies, I would just ask politely if I could use the woman's bathroom, I never got turned away. The ladies just politely waited.

[Kaneki05]

Gender neutral toilets don't bother me, nvm this.

[Still-alive]

This should be a nonissue... but people with an agenda kinda like it to be an issue...

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

The first few opinions are already frightening, or hilarious, both in fact 🤣

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

[slatyb]

Where? I can't remember the last time I was in a place that had a changing table only in the women's room.

[Smashingdoozy]

Many places don't.

[thearchjoker]

should be ok though it will likely be a unconfutable experience to everyone involved

[Smashingdoozy]

It's not uncomfortable. I don't walk into bathrooms stripping down butt ass naked and take a shit with the door wide open for all to see. Do you?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

🤣🤣🤣

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

@thearchjoker I see what you mean but it's really not realistic to imagine women would feel confused, you have a baby in your hands, women would be very much aware of the implications as soon as you'd enter toilets. They would just look amused and that's all lol

[Smashingdoozy]

@Maybe_Maybe_not I've had many moments with my goddaughter and her dad. He wouldn't let anyone else change her so I'd walk into the bathroom and announce he's coming in to change a diaper like he's fucking royalty 😂

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Hahaha

[thearchjoker]

The godfather had arrived pay respects women we don't want to insult to don and his faithful little guest

[KittygosMeoWW]

Yes men’s bathrooms usually don’t have a changing station

[KittygosMeoWW]

I agree with the update as well, I have a daughter and I would feel safe for her dad to take her to a woman’s bathroom

[JohnK123]

But not a mens?

[NathanDavis]

would be hazardous to do it at a man's bathroom

[itsannalee]

No, because here diaper changing room is in the women toilet. I don’t see any big deal here

[LiamJHayden]

Maybe it's just in this area, but in any place I see that caters to families I see changing stations in the men's restroom.

[Smashingdoozy]

That's great! Unfortunately around where I love it's not so common

[Jennz6]

Not a problem but he doesn’t have to have a changing table

[Smashingdoozy]

I mean kinda do. Changing anywhere else is unsanitary

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No. There are women in there taking care of their intimate areas and a man shouldn't be in a woman's public bathroom.

[Smashingdoozy]

We have stalls bro

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Doesn't matter. Women in there are doing intimate private things and a man shouldn't be in there.

He can change a diaper on the counter in the man's room.

[Smashingdoozy]

Not all bathrooms have counters with space😊

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

There's nothing intimate to look at, doors

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

... are closed, so what to spectate is just hand washing women !

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@Maybe_Maybe_not: I don't give a damn. A man has no business being in a public women bathroom

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

@Hispanic-Cool-Guy
Since the reason cannot be intimacy, what is your reasoning then, to explain such a taboo you see?

[Anonymous]

No, i wouldn't. I wouldn't say anything but i would be giving the dirtiest look. I dont want a man in my bathrom. Idc idc idc

[OtterMan68]

if there are stalls, what's he going to see he's not supposed to - women washing their hands or checking their makeup?

[Nikki1989]

I can't see any issues with that.

[nawtee_me]

Then shouldn’t the men’s room be changed or redesigned

[Smashingdoozy]

Absolutely. Unfortunately that takes time

[chocolatetwopointo]

if there wasn't a diaper changing room in the mens then i wouldn't care

[JohnK123]

I guess so? There are some changing tables in men’s restrooms like at parks etc

[power_wolf]

he can just change his baby on the floor then toss the diaper in the men's room

[Apple1996]

Would you lay down on the floor in the men's bathroom? That seems like a dirty place to lay a child down for a change

[power_wolf]

@Apple1996 no, the floor outside

[Apple1996]

That also seems dirty 😳

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

@power_wolf Are you serious? 🤣
Either you don't have kids, or you did not register the modern concept of hygiene. Please stop any procreation activity you could have started and think first, about what you're saying LOL

[power_wolf]

@Apple1996 lol maybe

[power_wolf]

@Maybe_Maybe_not kids put all kinds of shit into their mouths. the floor isn't that bad

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

shittier is not shitty because it's already shitty... I don't think it's a reasonable philosophy to carry here lol

[chrissykerdock]

long as he doesn't rap me

[Jennz6]

Not after you

[FunkyMonkee]

They have those in men's rooms, too.

[Smashingdoozy]

Not all men's bathrooms have them

[FunkyMonkee]

True. But, how many have you been in?

[Smashingdoozy]

I don't have to go into a men's bathroom to know they don't have changing tables.

[FunkyMonkee]

Well, if women take their little boys into the women's room to pee, why wouldn't a man take his daughter into the gents to pee?

[Smashingdoozy]

Because men's bathrooms are disgusting and there's a chance of seeing an exposed penis.

[FunkyMonkee]

Best time to teach her how to pee standing up.

[ChicoFromThe305]

He couldve done that in the car

[KittygosMeoWW]

Sometimes is too hot or cold for a baby

[ChicoFromThe305]

A/C can be controlled

[KittygosMeoWW]

Not if the back is open lol it’s hard to change diapers sitting down

[ChicoFromThe305]

For a few minutes tho? I don't see how a car isn't a good solution, it has a heater and AC for both conditions and would work even if the door is open, a blanket can also be brought lol

[KittygosMeoWW]

Most car seats aren’t flat so the baby is at risk of not being able to breath if they’re really small and if their toddlers they’re gonna get poop everywhere

[ChicoFromThe305]

So he should just walk into the girls bathroom? Cause I still think car is still a better solution than walking into the woman's bathroom, I don't think a bit of cold or heat for less than 5 minutes will sicken the child but you are a mother I guess so whatever you say lol

[gatixek710]

A lot of them do have changing stations.

[Smashingdoozy]

And a lot don't

[gatixek710]

And?

[Smashingdoozy]

And that's the situation I'm talking about...

[gatixek710]

There's no need for a man to be in a woman's bathroom.

[Smashingdoozy]

There is if he needs to change his child's diaper and there is no table in the men's and no parents room..

[gatixek710]

I raised two kids and never once had to go into a women’s bathroom. Nor has any man I know with children.

[Smashingdoozy]

Thats great for you. You must have not taken your kids out on your own many times.

[gatixek710]

Try again.

[MasterKS]

It should be taken as normal!

[KostasKouvalis]

In these sensitive times, probably not

[Juxtapose]

He's kinda gotta.

[Anonymous]

No man this is unethical

[Smashingdoozy]

Where else is he supposed to change the baby?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

"""unethical""" ? 😆
What exact virtue you're breaking here, by going in women's toilet to change nappies? Oh god lol

[Opinion Owner]

@Maybe_Maybe_not Is it healthy to change a baby's diaper in a dirty place like a toilet?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Then again, what is the alternative? Because not changing is hygienically worse than changing in toilets

[msc545]

Yes.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Nope not cool

[TheCaller]

I am not sure

[eagle1951]

no way
