In life, many mothers have had the experience of taking their children to the public bathroom for bathing. Compared to taking a bath at home, many modern bath centers are not only equipped with complete facilities, but also provide many leisure and entertainment projects.
Take a bath is certainly a pleasant thing, but if you take a baby boy to the girl's bathroom to take a bath, it will easily cause some controversy.
Not long ago, I saw such a video online. In a bath center in Yantai , a mother had an argument with the staff.
It is understood that the mother brought her child to the bathroom to take a bath alone. Because she was afraid that it would not be safe to leave the child alone in the hall, she took her son into the women's bathroom.
Who knew that the little boy ran and jumped after entering the bathroom, and acted naughty, which immediately made some of the women around him feel unhappy.
Seeing that the child was also relatively big, some customers complained about the matter to the staff, thinking that it was inappropriate for such a big boy to enter the women's room.
After receiving the complaint, the staff contacted the mother as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, after explaining the situation, the mother not only did not take the child away, but instead acted very angry. She asked the staff if something happened to the child outside, would the other party be responsible?
In response to this, the staff explained: The child is quite tall, and there are many girls changing clothes in the women's bathroom, so it is really inappropriate to go in like this.
Mother retorted: Don’t just look at height. The child is only in kindergarten now. Is there any problem? I want to know where this violated her?
This video quickly became popular after it was exposed.
After reading it, many netizens said that the mother’s approach is really inappropriate. Although the child is still young, the boy’s approach to entering the female room will make other women feel uncomfortable. Moreover, for the child themselves, most children who go to kindergarten have a basic gender perception. Parents should guide their children in life what is different between men and women, rather than taking it for granted because the child is young.
" I really disgusted some mothers taking their son into the women's locker room. I encountered this situation when I went swimming before. Although I was a child, I always felt very awkward."
" Nowadays, many children in kindergarten are quite tall. It is really embarrassing to see a big boy in the women's bathroom. It is recommended that the bath center issue a rule to limit the age and height of the children."
" My family is also a son, and I never take my son to the women's room in public places. In fact, children are much more mature than we used to be. Adults should pay attention to cultivating children's gender awareness. "In the comments, many netizens suggested that bath centers should give clear definitions on the height and age of children entering the bathroom of the opposite sex. With the rules, similar disputes will be reduced a lot.
So is this method feasible?
Previously, a bath shop in Shanghai also encountered similar problems, but the difference is that this bath center clearly stipulates that children under 90 cm can be taken into the bathroom by adults to have mixed baths.
But even so, this store was complained by customers because of the child's problem.
It turned out that a mother chose to take her son into the women's room for a bath because she was worried about leaving her child alone. According to regulations, her son's height was less than 90CM, but after entering the women's room, the mother encountered complaints from other customers.
The reason for customer complaints is very simple, because there are many young girls in the female room. Although the children are still in the early childhood stage, in the eyes of girls and mothers, boys and girls are still feeling uncomfortable if they are so "candid" with each other.
So far, the "children with a height below 90CM can take a mixed bath" stipulated in this bathroom has also been questioned by parents. In the comment section of the incident, some people think that the store should prohibit parents from bringing children of the opposite sex into the bathroom. As parents, try not to take their children out alone to take their children out for bathing.
Some netizens also admitted that many children aged three or four have actually remembered it, so parents should not take their children into private places of the opposite sex, which is not good for the growth and development of the children.
In life, many parents take it for granted that children do not need to distinguish genders. They are innocent and cute, and have simple temperaments. Even if they are brought to some private occasions, they will not cause trouble to others.
But the reality is that most children will have a preliminary gender awareness when they are around three years old. What parents need to do at this time is to guide their children to establish correct gender awareness, and bringing boys into women's bathrooms or girls into men's bathrooms is an act that disrupts children's gender awareness.
This practice will not only cause discomfort in others, but will also lead to children's gender confusion, which is not conducive to future cognition and growth.
