Women Bringing Children into the Ladies Room

[DesperateJill 3,573]

This was another thing that came up in my other thread about bathroom scarcity increasing the ladies room line but another factor that I brought up that has always been a little bit of a pet peeve of mine, as a happily childless woman, is that women are always the one or usually the one to bring children into the restroom. Now in a normal place this may not add to the volume significantly but if you are at an event that has lots of children added this can substantially increase the waiting time at the ladies room.

Personally nothing can be more annoying when the ladies room line is already long and you have a woman in front of you with five boys who is going to take like 10 minutes or more in the toilet and perhaps leave it in less than pristine condition. Also I feel some moms use having children as an excuse to cut ahead on line, decreasing her own wait in the process. I've seen this believe me.

Another frustrating thing is that I think children are somewhat immature about bathrooms, I know I sure was when I was a kid, so I think that children don't have filters so they are more likely to say something like I think that lady needs to pee or something along those lines.

And again as an adult you have to be the bigger person and not get mad at the children because obviously the children can't control themselves as well, but when you are standing in line this already long and your bladder is ready to explode, again that woman with five boys in front of you in line, and the woman in front of her with maybe three boys in line, it really starts to get on your nerves a little bit! And sometimes the children seem cocky about it. Just another way again in which society privileges boys peeing at the expense of women.

So my question is does anybody have any memorable experiences with this and do you think that this is a problem with increasing the ladies room line significantly? Any stories about nightmare situations where kids made a trip to the ladies room even more arduous are welcome!

I put this question in my long ladies room line survey and this was the results so far so let's see if we get similar results here.

Women are usually the ones to take children to the restroom. As a result young boys often use the ladies room adding to it's volume. How much of a factor do you consider this in increasing a long line?
    50% (46)    It increases it slightly but I don't think it's a major factor.
    18% (17)    It's a fairly major problem.
    30% (28)    It's not a problem usually but at events with lots of children it adds significantly to the waiting time.

Perhaps more family restrooms would help with the problem.

I agree with you on many parts, esp the moms that use their children to cut in line for the bathroom.  Its frustrating when I already need to pee and a mom with her kids asks to cut ahead to help her child.  It just puts you in an awkward situation like if I don't let them go ahead, I'm seen as a jerk and if I do, then I have to hold longer and seeing as I already have a rather smaller bladder, it can put me in a more difficult situation.

Kids often do make a mess or not clean up after themselves in the bathroom and often times moms won't clean up after their kids either, esp when using a public bathroom.  

The fear I always have when seeing kids in line for the bathroom (and this has happened to me before) is kids that will crawl between stalls because they think its fun.  Often times with an innocent "hi" with it. 

I think there does need to be more family bathrooms for kids to have more privacy and to lower the already long women's lines

[Peeing 123 38]

I see what you mean on this it's usually the women's bathroom the kids are being taken into and it just adds to the line and with the kids being small children aka toddlers it just causes chaos in the bathrooms. And with the kids being used as a cutting in line technique it puts the women in a situation of do I want to be a jerk or wait my turn.

[AlphaBladder 376]

Since I’ve already posted my own experience in that same thread, I asked my wife this question. She basically agreed with everything you said.

A story about this she just told me:

She was doing her normal routine, going grocery shopping when she had the sudden, very strong urge to pee. Not an uncommon occurrence for her since she has bladder problems. According to her, she ran to the bathroom, leaking a bit along the way, and just as she entered the womens room, she saw a mother and her two young boys enter the only available stall. She would have had an accident if it weren’t for the lady in the other stall, who came out a minute or two later. When she left the bathroom, the mother was still in the stall.

"The fear I always have when seeing kids in line for the bathroom (and this has happened to me before) is kids that will crawl between stalls because they think its fun.  Often times with an innocent "hi" with it."

Yes that's another thing, definitely experienced that a lot and it's really really awkward! Most mothers don't even attempt to control their children in the bathroom. I do wonder how many children have had their puberty jumpstarted because of the fact that they saw a woman sitting on the toilet when they were younger!

Yes and it's definitely true that in situations where there are a large number of women with children it can really substantially make things worse. Like in an average situation maybe it's not too bad but I remember when I saw the Simpsons movie, big theater and everything, most of the people who went for women with children and I think the fact that they brought children probably added at least 20 people to the line. Once again next door the men's room completely utterly empty.

I do remember one thing from like five years ago that I relayed in my blog in a fair amount of detail. But long story stored there was this Asian woman in front of me who was wiggling and I thought that I had hit the jackpot pretty much because a desperate Asian woman is like my dream come true! So it was really very disappointing when all of the sudden she cut ahead of the line and was out of the bathroom a good 15 minutes ahead of me. And I couldn't help but think that she was sort of smirking with a cocky attitude as she came out of the line and I felt that her children were doing likewise.

So yeah I think a lot of people do use that and they are unapologetically the actual jerks about it. I always was taught to be polite and let women with children go first but when you are sitting there waiting and waiting and waiting it gets kind of trying on your patients.

Like a real frustration was when I was younger and I would go to the bathroom with my mom and aunt and our boy cousins is that they would always let the boys go first since they were quicker which was especially torturous. But it was even worse when they were old enough to use the boys bathroom by themselves because they would be in and out while I would be stuck in line.

In fact when I was younger and I went to the movies with my cousins all the time one of the true horrors of the ladies room line was the fact that not only did you have the mothers and their daughters in line but you had all of the boy children in line as well. And when you go to a movie that is predominantly mothers and their children you basically have no one using the boys bathroom but everybody using the ladies room, so you're not only waiting for all of the girls to use the bathroom but all of the boys as well!

I've been in situations like that and it's always really frustrating. Like a couple of occasions I've gone to the bathroom with family or I have been the only one in the bathroom and you are sort of going in to go to the bathroom and then just ahead of you this woman with several children swoops ahead of you and beat you to the stall and you practically want to trip her just because you are so angry but you just sit there begrudgingly holding it because you don't want to seem like the asshole in these situations.

[Cherry Petal 20]

Honestly this isn't something I've ever really thought about. Maybe I just don't go to places often that would be very busy, because I can only think of times I've had to wait, with children in the line, on one hand.

Your poll lacks an option for it not being an issue at all, and does not contribute to longer wait times.

Now, I'll admit that I've only been a party to such situations a handful of times- At Disneyland and at a few various events.  However, what I witnessed was that in such circumstances, mothers tended to take their children into whichever facility was the next available.  Including women taking their daughters into the mens room, or their sons, or just using the mens room themselves because it was the next available.  If anything, men were the ones who were more reluctant to use the ladies facilities and had to wait longer due to more women and children going into the mens room.

However, it seemed that mostly the bathroom facilities were a free for all, with no one caring too much about what the sign on the door said.  Few people seemed to be having to wait any longer due to their gender, and the ones who were waiting a bit longer were mainly men.

[bdp 214]

I mean I don't have kids but in a scenario in which you do have young children in a public place you really don't have an option right? Definitely shouldn't be used to guilt people into jumping lines or whatever but lets be real. 

[Onedude 72]

I could see this as an issue for other women. It only really affects me because I have a wife and daughter myself. However, it’s equally disturbing when I’ve seen men bringing girls into the men’s room. They walk them right in full view of men with their junk out, and there are men out there who fantasize about shlt like that.  Yuck!  It’s not a convenience thing, but it sure creeps me out.  I’d love to piss in front of any woman, but not someone’s child.

[DesperateJill 3,573]

@TVGuy

"Your poll lacks an option for it not being an issue at all, and does not contribute to longer wait times."

I thought that the first option was mostly that option. Basically yes obviously having a few people in the line is going to make some kind of impact but not a significant one that was really noticeable which seems to be the option about half of the people have picked so far so it's a pretty 50-50 split down the middle. It probably varies a lot based on where you go and whether or not you have children.

I picked the final option because for the most part I don't have children and don't go to places with lots of children and the only place where it tends to be an issue is like at a movie theater with a PG or PG-13 movie at a big multiplex where lots of people go to the bathroom at once. And then I had a lot more of those experiences when I was younger myself where I remember the boys making the line longer. Not so much these days though.

"Now, I'll admit that I've only been a party to such situations a handful of times- At Disneyland and at a few various events.  However, what I witnessed was that in such circumstances, mothers tended to take their children into whichever facility was the next available.  Including women taking their daughters into the mens room, or their sons, or just using the mens room themselves because it was the next available.  If anything, men were the ones who were more reluctant to use the ladies facilities and had to wait longer due to more women and children going into the mens room.

At least Disneyland and everything seems to be accepting of people's gender fluidity so maybe they don't care what the sign on a door says as much. Probably a good argument for unisex in general.

I've never been to Disney World myself though but I imagine a place that is crowded like that probably has a lot of lines and I came across one website that seem to be like a guide to finding the place with the shortest lines, so I'm guessing it's probably an issue when you consider the fact that even just to get on a ride sometimes means hours of waiting. You've got to assume that the bathroom would be equally crowded seeing as the bathroom is one place that everyone has to use at some point if they are out all day.

That actually happened to my dad once. We went to a restaurant and he came back from the bathroom and said he was really creeped out because some guy brought his young daughter in and she was looking at him as he was going to the bathroom, so I get where they are coming from on that.

But there are creepy people who would enjoy people of the same sex as well, so it's something that can't really be helped. Unfortunately there are going to be creepy people in the bathroom. A better solution would be to have more family restrooms that are perhaps single users where parents could bring their opposite sex child without exposing them to other adults.

Disney, for the most part, tends to be exceptionally good at crowd management.  So even though the bathrooms were indeed crowded, and typically had a bit of a line, that line moved fast.  I found myself never having to wait more than a couple minutes, even for a very crowded bathroom. 

The uncomfortable part of the Disney bathroom experience for me was along the lines of what @Onedude said- Being in the mens room, trying to use the urinal, but having girls and women of all ages coming and going behind me.  Having to pee at a urinal in front some tweenage girl that is a complete stranger made me feel kinda creepy.

Seen in that light it is probably more of an anxious situation for a father to bring a daughter into the men's room than the other way around. A woman bringing a boy into the ladies room is doing things behind closed doors of the stall not a situation where a young girl is going to get to see men peeing openly at the urinals, which for guys who are pee shy in the first place must be extremely anxiety provoking.

[Spectator9 927]

The solution to the problem would be to have all public facilities be designed with fully enclosed toilets, but this would be more costly to construct and to maintain.  I know there are places that do it, but not many.  The availability of "family" facilities is a helpful compromise, but even this is an added cost.  In today's world it's all about the money - convenience and service are secondary.

That is right, that is the main reason why there is no real incentive to provide more ladies restrooms or even inadequate amount. Women are still going to frequent places regardless seeing as everywhere has a similarly bad bathroom situation, so there is no financial loss by not having enough adequate bathrooms for women. If women are still going to patronize your establishments despite having very full bladder is there is no real financial incentive to provide them with relief.

Likewise including bathrooms with more urinals is more cost-effective than building. Which again is why it's always cost-effective to provide more than enough for men but not enough for women, which is why I don't think things are going to change likely anytime soon.

So when you add up all of that along with the fact that women get stuck dragging the children to the bathroom, take longer and whatnot, it's inevitable that they're going to be long lines and that the bathroom burden is going to always be placed on women in general.

I haven't really seen family bathrooms in that many places, and if there are it's a single user bathroom in an out-of-the-way area usually. But a unisex bathroom with enclosed bathrooms in individual stalls would be more expensive, even though it probably be the most efficient way of dealing with the trans issue, families needing to bring children of the opposite sex into the bathroom, longer lines for women and a whole host of other issues, but again there's no financial incentive to do so so it's probably not likely to happen anytime soon, if ever.

[Spectator9 927]

You bring up a good point, the trans issue.  In some areas there is confusion and opposition about what rest rooms transexual students should use.  From my point of view, it seems that more parents than students are concerned about it, but the solution would be to provide more single-fixture unisex rest rooms.  But they come with a cost that taxpayers are reluctant to spend.

Can confirm, it was always awkward when I had to bring my daughters into the mens room, especially with all the guys at the urinals. I would just tell them to look away.

Do your daughters prefer to use the mens room instead of waiting in line? Is it often because I rarely see girls use the guys room over long lines. I guess they learned at a young age why guys have no lines (urinals). As a guy, I have always thought women must be jealous we can just pee standing to avoid long lines and not have to sit and undress to pee but girls may think differently and think urinals are disgusting

Not usually, they are pretty grossed out by it, in fact. But when you really have to go, it's better to work up the courage and do something uncomfortable than risk an accident.

Do they have full on accidents before or just leaks? As a guy at least I dont think a ful on accident is possible as it just seems to be leak

I was recently found out a restroom on campus not only has more stalls than the women’s room but also a bunch of urinals! No wonder girls always have a line after class. I wonder why no girls have complained of sexism given how liberal colleges are these days

"I was recently found out a restroom on campus not only has more stalls than the women’s room but also a bunch of urinals! No wonder girls always have a line after class. I wonder why no girls have complained of sexism given how liberal colleges are these days"

Once again I think it goes back to the fact that people really don't talk about bathroom matters at all. Most women on a university campus probably have no idea what is inside of the men's room and probably don't even think that men probably have so many different places to pee compared to them. Again it's something that most people never even think of because nobody compares notes. I mean I have asked my friends and stuff like that how many stalls and urinals are in the men's room, but I'm a pretty strange person, the average person would never bring up that topic with anyone.

So probably the majority of women on university campuses don't give any thought to what's in the men's room and probably don't even realize that the men have numerous times more places to pee. It's just another one of those cases of something that is the way things are everywhere so nobody ever questions it or thinks about it.

Also although university campuses are extremely liberal and female dominated now a lot of these buildings were built in like the 1950s and stuff when universities were almost exclusively male institutions, and they haven't really caught up with the fact that colleges are now dominated by women. So you pretty much have a situation where colleges are maybe 60% female but probably the majority of the bathrooms were built in an era when colleges were probably like 90% male.

 

[rebeljaffa 545]

One of my early memories is of being taken into public ladies rooms, partly for myself so I would not be out of sight and I'm pretty sure sometimes so my mother or an aunt could go.  To be fair, when my daughter was very young I sometimes had to take her to the mens room.   I'm sure it must have had some effect on me, given my kinks, but I don't think adults in the UK think much of it. As a parent I actually think it's the best thing to do.

I’ve had to go into a men’s room once (as well as peeking in while @ my elementary school for practice when I was like 10) and it wasn’t as alluring, exciting, etc. as I had imagined lol

I wonder what goes on in a girls mind because these lines on campus are different. It’s not like an event where lines are one off. These lines are daily and do they just accept long lines will be part of daily (literally daily) life from freshmen year that for the next four years they better get used to lines as otherwise when you go to malls you don’t see lines every day all the time like on campus between classes.

 

I still remember once after a three. Hours exam I was desperate to go and went right after while my female classmates had a line up in the building. That’s okay though but what must have sucked was if anyone during the exam asked to pee and they wasted like 5-10minesnwaitibg in line while men didn’t have a line so that gives men an advantage on the test for having more time if both the male/female asked for a pew break. I didn’t go during the exam cause I had no time as it was a hard long exam! 
 

I saw one instance where a girl saw a long line and didn’t go and went right to her next lecture! She either didn’t have to go or is used to it
