No men in the family room!

I guess it’s just for women, then? Just like the, um, women’s locker room…?

When my husband is off work, he often takes my daughter to the rec center to swim or run around in the gym while I work. It’s a wonderful solution since we are members with unlimited access to the rec center, and it helps get her some physical activity in while it’s too cold to go play outside.

That said, today they had an unpleasant experience with a few moms in the family room—specifically, one mom, who complained loudly about having to share a family locker room with men. “They should have separate family locker rooms if they’re going to let men in!” she huffed.

My husband turned to her and said, “Excuse me?” She, of course, said, “Nothing,” but he said, “No, I heard you. You and your partner have two little girls. I’m a father with my little girl. I have to use this room because she’s not allowed in the men’s locker room for good reason. Why don’t you take your daughters into the women’s locker room if you don’t want to share the family room with me?”
