I can give you a GREAT example of the proper use of a family bathroom.

Recently, my husband and I went to a VERY fancy wedding. At the reception, I had a sudden and severe "Gall bladder/ingesting too much fat" incident and had to use the bathroom pronto.  It was my plan to not drink much and not use the restroom until I got home.  This is what I normally do, since I'm not a fan of public bathrooms.

The problem was, I was wearing a support garment that I needed help with.

My husband went with me and luckily, there was a family bathroom.  We waltzed in, I did my business, he yanked me back up and we were on our way.

Cyn,

Sounds like you married a great guy.

Hehehe, I did.  He'd even "man up" and buy tampons for me if I asked him to.

-Cyn

Man up? That isn't "Man Up!" If he was "Man Upping" he wouldn't get tampons! You just married a nice enough guy, that loves you enough, not to care if it is "Man Up". He has his priorities straight and takes care of the one he loves. Ladies a real man will do things for his lady and be proud when his buddies call him a wuss!

Nick, he's man enough to not be threatened by making a purchase.  For SOME men, that takes real courage.  It doesn't even faze my guy. 

Now, if a bat were flying over our heads, all bets would be off.  Once, we had our windows open at night, with no screens (it was late in the season) and a bat flew in.  He hit the deck.  I had to open the front door, grab a broom and shoo the bat out.  Cynthia saves the day!

You're right, a REAL man will do things for his lady, just as I'd do anything for MY guy.  Btw, his buddies never call him a wuss, they call him one lucky guy!

-Cyn

I have to agree that he is a lucky guy.

Cyn,

I LOVED this so much I called my hubby and asked him if he would do this for me....

he told me  "i'd sneak in to the ladies room and help you if I had to"


you've got a Gem there.... I have a lunatic.

LOL

That was our plan too!  Imagine how happy we were when we walked to the basement of this fancy banquet facility (where the bathrooms live) and saw the "Family" choice.  Woot! 

I've seen them a lot lately, often used by those helping the elderly.

-Cyn, only slightly elderly

I love the generic restrooms.  it's so much easier to just go when you can where you can.
