  • Hmmm...the athletic club where I work has a rule about little boys in the ladies locker room. They have to be 4 and under...
  • There was a mom who routinely brought her son - maybe 6 - into our locker room. VERY AWKWARD. He stood and stared...
  • Hey, Shooting Star!!! I'll meet you in Evanston to get some real fireworks.
  • Yeah my pet peeve is young boys in the women's locker room too.

    I actually think that the gratuitous naked women do tend to keep that to a minimum but then I would rather that they do what they need to quickly and put on some clothes.

    We're lucky usually the kids are there to either got to the Kid's club, climb the rock wall, or use the pool. Which for me thankfully means that they are not in my way.

    Once I reach my goal weight I might try that rock wall it does look like a blast.
  • Quote: Dear Mom: Please keep your kids off the equipment. I realize that our gym doesn't have a daycare, but perhaps you could make other arrangements for your children. Just because we have 24 hour access cards and no one checks us in doesn't mean you should bring the whole family for your workout.
    i cant believe people do that! i have a child and i would never bring her to the gym with no daycare
  • Yesterday, I went to the local indoor pool to swim laps. While changing into my suit in the locker room (discreetly and quickly), a little girl stood and stared at my tush, pulled on her mommy's pant leg and said "Look at her butt! Look!" The mom said nothing and just continued shoving stuff in her locker.

    I know it's a public pool and public locker room, but come on parents! Have a 2-minute conversation with your kid in the car about locker room ettiquette. This is basic courtesy and your child deserves to be taught about decorum.
