There's nothing worse than not having a place to change your kid in public. This is where a dad can really use a changing table in the men's room. Whenever I'm out with the kids by myself, I always have that fear of not having access to a changing table. It's a real hassle to have to walk all the way back to the car to take care of business. On the flip side, when I'm with my wife, I can get out of diaper duty by default if there isn't one around. It's always the same line, "Sorry honey, no changing table in the men's room. Looks like you're gonna have to take one for the team." That's right, I play the gender card when it suits me!
More often than not, I really need there to be a changing station in the men's room. Sahd or not, dads change diapers and need a place to do it. Who are the nitwits that design these bathrooms? It takes nothing to add a simple changing station to a bathroom. The thing folds right up against the wall. It's not rocket science. You don't need to be a tetris champion to figure out where to fit a folded up piece of plastic.
While I'm on the subject, how hard is it to arrange a bathroom? For the women reading this, you may take for granted the women's room arrangement. Stalls, sinks, and a changing station. That's what you're used to seeing. For men, it's quite different. We sometimes get ripped off in the stall department. There may be 3 urinals and 1 stall. Does this make sense? This may not bother some people, but it drives me crazy. Ever go to a friend's house who only has 1 bathroom. Ever go there on chilly night with about ten of your friends? See where I'm going with this?!? I don't know what's worse, the guy about to ruin his pants, or the guy in the stall listening to a guy ruin his pants. Anywhere in Vegas, I can tell you where the best bathroom is and how many stalls there are. Anyone who knows me knew that this rant was coming. Am I neurotic? Probably. But I'm not going to be the guy that ruins his pants!
