Greg from Daddytypes on men's rooms and diapers in the New York Times!
Yesterday my wife
looked at me from her laptop across the room and said, "Greg Allen from daddytypes is in
the New York Times!" And Metrodad is quoted about his old-school
drug use and changing diapers in the men's room stalls!
So check out the article about the changing face of diaper changing facilities and New York men's rooms, featuring a nod to Greg's interactive google map of men's rooms where men can get the job done. The article's underlying point is a good one, though somewhat obvious: the fact that men's rooms are starting to have more diaper changing stations is a sign that maybe men are starting to pick up the slack in the parenting department. The piece ends with an anecdote about a guy who noticed that the signs on airline restrooms' changing tables, which previously had a triangle-shaped-dress character hovering over the baby, now featured a gender-neutral figure.
But the article doesn't address the biggest issue in my
mind: why do places always put the units in the handicapped stalls? I always give up because inevitably there is some
mope reading a newspaper while taking a dump in the handicapped stall.

Rachel May said...Could be because it's the only place wide enough in a already-constructed bathroom that didn't originally have plans for the fold-down platform. Cheaper than knocking down a wall.

Ann Adams said...Rachel May is correct. The newer women's rest rooms have the changing tables outside the stalls. The older rest rooms - the handicapped stall.
Perhaps as new stores are built, the men's room will catch up with reality. You daddy bloggers could start a crusade.
