    Yeah true, because then its still discriminatory to fathers. I was thinking kids, mums, didn't think about the dads. Wow. This seems like a pretty big oversight. So make yourself or others uncomfortable or send a boy too young into a men's change room alone? I get most pools are old and can't exactly make room for more family change rooms. Pre kids this was something I never even considered an issue. What are a people supposed to do?

    ETA on the disabled q. Honestly, depends on the disability. If its very severe, or mental, then no, they should not wait. But honestly, why should a little kid wait but not a disabled person? I have a friend who is disabled and she doesn't like being treated too differently from others. She is wheelchair bound and deaf, and I know she doesn't mind waiting for the loo for example, just like able bodies people have to wait generally in the main toilets. I don't know. I think small kids have less of an understanding of wait than adults.
