Rant!!! Every bathroom in every type of establishment should have a changing table! Going on a road trip with a newborn and driving into two different gas stations, followed by two different Starbucks, with no changing table in sight is the most aggravating thing! Changing an explosive poo in the passenger seat while it’s a million degrees outside and everyone and their mother can see your baby’s parts is genuinely frustrating!! And rant is over, thank you.
Can grass rust fungus cause skin infections? Yes, Can we also normalize changing tables in men’s rooms? The number of times I will finally be eating/peeing whatever when my husband takes our child to the bathroom, only to return to explain the changing table is only in the women’s restroom.
This happened just yesterday. We went out to lunch for the first time since our son’s birth, and while we were paying the bill, he went. I led him into the men’s room, only to find a row of urinals and a sink. I walked back out and handed him to my wife. She went into the women’s room and changed him without issue.
Is it really such a shock to society that men also care for babies?
Clearly, our society has not yet accepted this. Sorry, dad .
In Denmark, most changing tables are located in invalid restrooms, making them gender neutral.
Yes, true, Some large retail malls include a dedicated changing room with a toilet, which is fantastic. I appreciate that not all businesses have them, but there should be one in the men’s room. My partner finds this quite aggravating. Also, what about same-sex male parents.
