Dad Goes Viral For Explaining The Thoughtful Way He Escorts His Little Daughters To Public Bathrooms Designated For Women
Los Angeles, California. Most dads probably find themselves in this dilemma: what do you do when you have very young daughters and they need to use a public bathroom?
Do you take them to the men’s room or the women’s room?
Well, one dad named Muhammed Nitoto who lives in LA has little daughters who are far too young to send into a bathroom all alone when they need to use one.
When first presented with which bathroom to use, he naturally brought them with him to bathrooms marked for families.
Muhammed quickly encountered a problem with that solution though, as family bathrooms are few and far between.
Many places that Muhammed goes with his girls don’t even have restrooms marked as family-friendly, so when he wasn’t able to use a family bathroom, he started taking his daughters with him into the men’s bathrooms.
“Now I’ve been to a men’s bathroom millions of times but walking in with your daughter makes you look at it completely different,” Muhammed explained in an Instagram post.
“Men’s bathrooms are DISGUSTING. They smell like pee and nothing is set up for a woman or a person with a child. The changing table was right next to the urinal which means my child literally would be next to where men pee which she’s being charged.”

He only took his daughters into a men’s bathroom once, before he made up his mind that it would also be the last time he did that.
Instead, he decided to take his daughters into bathrooms designated for women, and he went viral after he explained the very thoughtful way he escorts his daughters into them.
To start, Muhammed always first knocks on the front door of the women’s bathroom and lets anyone know that he is a dad that is going to be taking his daughter inside so that they don’t feel uncomfortable.
“Now once inside our stall, I still am aware of the door, and whenever I hear it open and someone new is coming in I announce myself again and make sure they know I’m inside with my child so that they aren’t surprised,” Muhammed continued.
He mentioned that bathrooms designated for women are not only far tidier than men’s bathrooms; they also are laid out in a way that’s easier if you have children with you.
On top of that, changing areas in the women’s bathrooms are pretty much always located in a large-sized stall so you never have to change your child in front of strangers.
It definitely makes the most sense!
