Bathroom Ettiquette 101

Alright ladies, I have been bothered with recent bathroom ettiquette. So listen up!!!!

At the YMCA, it is fine that you are VERY modest and want to change in the bathroom stall. But please be aware of the purpose of said bathroom stall. There are 3 bathroom stalls....please leave at least 1 available for those that want to use it for the reason it was put there. If someone needs to use it, they shouldn't have to wait 10-15 minutes for you to change clothes. BTW, we all have the same parts and nobody is going to gawk at you.

At the Science Center, the family restroom is for just that FAMILIES. To the 40 something year old woman with the 10 year old daughter. You could have easily gone into the women's bathroom together. You disallowed me being able to change my son in there. So I head to the women's bathroom. To the lady in front of me, you passed 2 stalls that were open to go into the handicapped stall that had the changing station!!!! So I had to wait and just burn up inside that people just are not thinking. There is no way that I would change Zach on the floor. He would swing his hands on the floor and then put them into his mouth!!! Yuck. If you do not have young kids please do not use the handicapped stalls or the family restrooms.

And also, even if there isn't a changing station in the handicapped stall, please don't use it. If a mama is coming in and needs to allow her young child, or even herself use the bathroom and is pushing a stroller. There are no options for her. The handicapped stalls are the only one mama can use and still keep an eye on her things and children.

I feel so much better.

And yes I am flexible. I did share a bunch of wipes with the scary guy that came up to us in the parking lot needing wipes because his daughter vomitted on herself. I can work with everyone of course.
