Rant

As a mother with two small children, I was ecstatic when I found out that the new Wal-Mart close to us had a Family restroom. It is really convenient when my daughter has to go to the bathroom, we can go in shut the door take care of business and I don’t have to worry about my son crawling under the stalls and running a way. However, this last week when we went to the store, my husband was with me, my daughter had to go to the bathroom. We headed to the family bathroom, since Bubby was due for a diaper change, too. I parked my shopping cart close to the door and while I proceeded to unbuckle my son from the cart the door opened and two adults, without children, emerged from the restroom. It was obvious that they had not been using the facilities. I didn’t say anything then, and I really wish I had.

I was angry, the family restroom is there to make things easier for parents with little children, so we don’t have to chase them down in the larger restrooms and risk them running off or getting lost. It is NOT a place for people to have sex, if you want to have sex do it at home. Don’t use a public place and get in the way of others being able to use the facilities for their intended purposes!
