Interesting topic..

I dont know what age I would let the girls go into the public toilets by themselves. But I think there is a fine line between been protective of your child and being a helicopter parent.
I think for me it will be when the girls feel comfortable with going into public toilets without me.
I do not like Dh taking the girls into the mens toilets at all. If he has them then he takes them into the parents room or uses the disabled one.

Astrid, its a good point. We've never let the girls go into the mens public toilets. We never will, buts that our choice.
