At age 5, there is nothing wrong with taking a boy OR girl into the parental gendered restroom. What I would do differently? I would make sure both husband AND wife or a close relative of the opposite gender came along for exactly this reason.You do NOT ask a stranger to watch your child “just for a minute.” I would never put myself in such a situation to begin with. A 10 year old is old enough to go into a public restroom alone, with a parent standing outside.
