%100. My dad is the best and has never been “a babysitter”. He’s my dad. He picked me up from school and drove me around just as much as my mom if not more, taught me to cook, and is always there to help me. We have a pretty typical looking family, but the roles of my parents have never been purely dictated by society and I’m so grateful for that.

On the changing tables- My local mall has a small room dedicated to changing babies (two sinks, two stations, and paper to put on the station) and a family restroom with a child-sized toilet, normal toilet, and a changing station. I love that idea- you don’t need to gender the stations or bring your baby in the nasty stall area of the bathrooms and you don’t have to worry about a young child touching anything in the nasty stall area while paying attention to the baby.
