I'm not going to comment on this family and their choice, I really don't know enough about them to do that. I can say, though, that whatever you think on the subject, you'll likely find the following comment to the article either sad or hilarious, depending on your perspective.
when you are out in public and the kids need to use the washroom which one would they use mens or womens? how will the know about the birds bee's?
1. Gosh, I don't know. Given their apparent ages, most likely they use the same bathroom as the parent they're with right now, particularly the baby. Who isn't toilet trained. And can't walk. Or crawl, even. Or be trusted not to put things where they don't go, and eat what's not meant to be eaten.
2. How will they know about the birds and the bees? Well, if you learned about sex through public bathrooms, I am deeply, deeply disturbed. And if you learned about the fact that boys and girls generally have different genitalia by going to the public bathroom - well, this at a bare minimum involves some level of peeking and (if in the ladies room) some huge level of creeping under doors. Plus, by this guy's idea, shouldn't all the parts in each bathroom be the same? Seems to me that going into the other one would be more educational!
