Parents Rooms at the Mall

I'd not slap ya in a female toilet! I mean... there are doors for a reason. I'd be just as offended if a female watched me pee as a male

And go you!

Personally, I didn't mind who saw my boobs... I found the only guys that were gross about the whole breastfeeding thing were my own freaking friends! All other males used to look away or busy themselves with something else.

I guess we're lucky in that one of parents rooms has a parent/child toilet in it so a guy wouldn't have to take his daughter into the mens or risk being slapped in the ladies.

The parents rooms I've been in (I've only been in 3 or 4, after working in one for a year I'm no longer a fan of malls) have all been 'parents' and all but one had curtained off feeding areas. The other didn't have a specific feeding area.

I always took Adam in with me, he's used them by himself and there are toilets for littlies.

I always wondered about men and taking their little daugters into men's toilets, I know my dad did it a couple of times and it was ok (the urinal was a point of interest for me as a three year old though) better than leaving me to go alone.

Mums always take in their sons!

I certainly wouldnt feel uncomfortable with a dad going in to feed or change his bubs i would just feel strange if it looked like a random guy doing nothing but sitting there!!
I think its really great seeing fathers go in a feed and change their bubs! my hubby threw up everytime he tried to change Bay so no help there!

Its awsome to see a dad on here too!! welcome

If a man was in there I would assume he wouldn't be bothered by it so I'd whip my boob out. When we are out if there are males around I normally go somewhere else because I know my DP friends feel uncomfortable but they don't expect me to go somewhere in my own house.

I like the ones with cutains cos I think dads should feel comfortable in there and mums too who don't really wana see a boob.

Im going to go check out the parents room in every mall i go into now...might be kinda weird if people in there as no bubs but im so big now im sure people will understand...after reading this i think planning ahead will help too....it sounds like there are some great ones and some hopeless ones and as we are surrounded by malls i should suss them out now...
BTW welcome - a mans perspective will be nice. Esp that of a SAHD!!! My Dh would love to do that...and may be able to do one day a week when bubs is here...which i would love him to do!

Nicola - SAHD = stay at home dad...

I think Henderson is a Westfield isn't it so it should have a decent parents room.

Don't be shy about using it rug_nz...I always get a kick out of seeing dads in them 'cos I love seeing dads so hands on!

I'm not shy when it comes to looking after my girl.
I just have never needed to go in one, she is #2's potty trained and her cloth naps are good for 3-4 hours, and remem I am a man and don't spend hours looking at shoes I can't afford and don't need to buy haha.
