4 year old boy and women's locker room thoughts

[PiesandAbrosmama]

So I am looking for advice on the "proper" thing to do. I am a new family member to our local gym/pool. The rules say DS can come with me into the locker room until age 5. The other night when DH could not come with us when we were changing out of our wet suits the high school swim team was also changing. DS was very uhmm: interested. He has always been into the ladies and well boobies . I was very uncomfortable with the atmosphere with the teen girls being uncomfortable.
But here's the thing not a good family place to change with a 8 month old 6 year old DD and 4 year old DS. My son can't change himself alone in the Men's room. Any suggestions?? It is funny in a way and I'm not a prude or worried about my DS seeing anything , but when he is just staring with his mouth open what's a mama to do? I'm more uncomfortable for the young girls then my own family.
Would love any ideas or similar experiance's shared.
Thanks, Sarah

I take my 4 yr. old into the womens locker room, I don't see why anyone wouldn't. A 4 yr. old girl could act just the same way. I'd have a talk about staring and keep taking him in there.

If there was no familiy room to change in as our YMCA has then I would perhaps change them in the bathroom area handicap stall,or the shower stall area which usually has a booth right off the shower to change at. Personally I would not want to change in front of anyone.In the least you can leave the lockers till the majority is done and out. I LOVE the family change rooms with bathrooms,shower,and changing area all in one.Perhaps you can suggest they add some.I would NEVER allow my kids to change alone with strangers.

I take my recently turned 5 yo ds in the womens locker room at his swim school to change. I just remind him that it is impolite to stare at the either people in the locker room. I generally chat with him and try to keep his eye contact on me if possible. That is all I can do. I don't wish to make anyone uncomfortable, but I am not sending DS into a locker room alone to dress. I just wish they had family locker rooms like at our YMCA!
