Using a family restroom can cut back on germs
If you’re the parent of multiple children of both sexes, chances are you’ve been out in public and faced the dilemma of which bathroom you should use. This is especially true if your children are small and cannot safely enter the bathroom on their own.
For example, if you’re a father and have 2-year-old twin girls and a 6-year-old boy who all need to use the bathroom, you know they would gladly all follow you into whichever bathroom you choose and use the potty willingly and happily. But as a father, you cannot enter the women’s restroom without strange looks and disapproving words. And it’s certainly scary to think about taking your two little girls into the men’s restroom, where grown men are freely using the urinal, with parts your baby girls probably know nothing about proudly displayed.
Sending any of these children into the bathroom alone is probably the scariest part. There have been multiple stories in the mass media about children being abused in public restrooms, and on top of that, you have the most common offender: germs.
