I'm with you Debbie. I'll take in with me as long as he needs me. If

they don't like it they can hold it till we're finished, or they can go

somewhere else. I wish there were bigger changing tables though that were low

to the floor. is still in diapers, but he weighs 130lbs. He's tall and

chunky and I have to lay him down to change him. Maybe I should practice

changing him while he stands.......Potty training is coming along, but I

always have to " catch " him and some times he has an accident.

I've gotten the stares in public bathrooms. I just ignore them, and (secretly)

hope makes a comment about them loud enough for them to hear. Usually

when we have to go to the bathroom is when he's acting up the most and people

realize he's " special needs. " But in today's society, I probably will be taking

in with me when he's 7 or 8 ( which is close to what is

developmentally).

ME TOO!!!!!!!

I take in the men's room and just ask the

men to wait outside. They always understand.

Seems to me that women are more offended

than men. I have never had a problem YET!!!

oh judy i think i would definately practice changing him while he stands,

that is the only way i could ever get nathan changed in a public bathroom,

usually if one is available we will use the handicapped one(more room) , but

nathan even shuts the door and locks it nowadays. I would just help him with

his pants down, rip the pull-up on the sides so slips off easily, have

nathan go and then sit down on potty to try and bm(usually what his acidents

were) then i would remove his pants and slip on a new pull up and his pants

again while he is sitting on toilet up to his knees probably, then if he is

done we stand up get wiped clean, and just have to pull up the pullup and

pants, set to go. shawna

Now that I think of it, the arena that's in Dallas I

think, they have family bathrooms, and changing tables

in both the men's and the woman's bathroom.

Hi Debbie,

Ted won't even let me get up from my seat in say, Denny's and

go to the door of the bathroom with him! He really makes me

crazy sometimes. But when we were in Orlando at all the parks,

I took him in the bathroom with me. It also seems like more and

more places have a " family " bathroom which I think is great! I once

barged right into the " handicapped " stall in the men's room thinking

Ted was in that one. We usually choose that stall so I thought he

was in there. Well, there was a man sitting there! OMG why didn't

he lock the stall door! It was one of those hard days out!

I think I have to delete the address once and I keep forgetting

or maybe I only need to reply to 1 not reply to all<?> hmmm

I'll try not to do that. Sorry.

[Guest guest]

Gail, I love the image of you surprising some stranger in the stall.

Ian won't let me near the bathroom with him either, and God help me if I

suggested to him that he come with me to the women's room. He'd fight that

with all he has.

That didn't stop him, however, from sitting outside the ladies' room at

's today, insisting that I have a very loud conversation with him while

I was...ahem...inside.
