Which bathroom am I supposed to use? "Girl uncle" asked, "internet aunties" responded @Tony Tuesday tonytuesday August 24, 2026 greeblehaus 4d Always take young girls into the woman's room. Announce at the door "hi there Young Girl Uncle coming in! Yell if that's a problem!" Listen for a second and then go. If anyone hassles you, us Internet Aunties will take care of them. 40.6K 50 184 25 inthelifeofnaylaa 4d My dad use to take a jacket over my head or make me cover my eyes and take me in the men's. I use to think I was on a secret peeing mission lol 302 3 But it does seem like the consensus, for the women, at least, on social media, was that you can use the ladies' room, You announce, dad coming in with a girl to use the bathroom. Listen to make sure there aren't any objections, Come in and let her do what she needs to do. Help her wash her hands and leave. Remember this story we covered? Earlier this summer, police were called on a dad in Oklahoma, who took his two young daughters into an empty women's restroom. Now, he actually spoke to the manager, said that he was going to do this, made sure that it was OK, and yet, there was still a person who called the cops on him. So, I always = I feel like I want to do what the internet aunties are suggesting, yell in there, but I'm really nervous.
