This discussion didn't start out to be about older boys going into the restroom with their mother's.
The original topic of this thread is
"My sons are 6 and 3. Is the 6 year old too old to come into the ladies' room with me? "
The OP asked if 6 was too old for her son to come to the bathroom with her at Disney World.
So somewhere it has been turned into being about older boys going into the restroom with their mothers. It went up to 7, then 8, then 9 and somewhere someone talked about 11 year olds in the bathroom.
So, if we'd get back on topic about 6 year olds that'd be nice.

I realize that many of us have already said this several times, but I will repeat it again. This discussion pertains to older boys who have no special needs and whose mothers have an overbearing need to haul them into a ladies room in order to satisfy their own need to protect them from some unknown disaster that may occur in the men's room despite the fact that there are generally several fathers, brothers, husbands, who would not turn a blind eye to a child being abused, abducted, or molested.
When it comes to those circumstances, yes. It is all about my DGD's comfort. It is about my not having to deal with lack of privacy. we are using a ladies room. There is an expectation of privacy when a woman or a girl enters a gender specific bathroom, and as many here have suggested, if anyone should lose that expectation of privacy, it is the mother of that tween boy.
I agree that mothers of special needs children are presented with challenges in which they make choices that are int eh best interests of their kids. I have not seen one poster on this thread who does not support those choices.
