The Family That Pees Together...

I have no children, as is obvious from some of my posts, but certain child-related things peeve me nonetheless. I wonder why there are no "family toilets" in public places. Mothers can bring their sons and daughters into the women's bathroom with them, but it is frowned upon if fathers bring their daughters into the men's bathroom. Somehow it is acceptable for little boys to see the women's room, but not for little girls to see the men's room.

The only option is the handicapped facility, if indeed one exists. What is a single father or a father (or other male relative/friend) to do if he is out with a little girl who needs help in the bathroom? Why not have family-friendly restrooms, where families can have privacy and space to do what they need to?
