Moms, what age do you send uyour little boys to the mens restroom alone?

Question

just curious.....and please explain why that age thanks!!

Answer 1

eight or nine, really depends on them, there mature .. and how you raise them to not to talk to strangers and to run away, tell someone if someone tries anything. if they are scared and not ready is another reason to wait .. its hard when your a single mom, and have a boy.. if they don't mind going with you then take them until there older then even 8.. but, you need to let them grow and be a man at times too. so teach them right and let them grow up..

Answer 2

I only have a daughter and she is 3 but I know for a fact that my parents didn't let my lil brother go to the bathroom alone until he was 10 and when he was younger she would usually use the family bathrooms that were like a single room so she could stand outside

Answer 3

My 8 and 5 year old boys still come into the bathroom with me. I will let both Carter and Noah go into the bathroom alone at 10. There are just too many weirdos in the world today. 30 years ago, I would have let both my boys go into the bathroom alone. But not now. Definitely not now. By 10 years old, they will know that if someone tries to take them to scream and yell for help. I would have fully taught them stranger safety by then.

Answer 4

well my son is 5 and really independent he refuses to go into the womans bathroom, most of the time my husband is with me and he takes him. but if were alone he goes to the mens room but i will stand by the door and i will keep talking to him, stuff like are you ok,  almost done, do you need help. that way if there is anyone else in there they know hes not alone.  

Answer 5

My son is 5 and he goes in the womens room with me. I can't imagine sending him in the mens room anytime soon- too many weirdos out there.

Answer 6

I think mine were about 10. (They started taking karate about that time and knew how to defend themselves) but I was still close by.

Answer 7

I take mine into the ladies' with me.  There are lots of weirdos that hang out in men's public bathrooms.  I would probably let him go into the men's alone when he is 9 or 10.

Answer 8

Well my brother is 6 and he started going to the boy's restroom himself at 4 years old.
