Any other dads here that fly their kids back and forth for visitation? If so, you will have experience what I have: Most major airports (forget the smaller ones!) have made ABSOLUTELY NO BATHROOM PROVISIONS FOR A DAD TRAVELLING WITH TWO YOUNG GIRLS! I and my kids have to just hold it until we get on the plane. Thankfully, we at least get to pre-board because my youngest is three, so I always get us a seat at the very back of the plane, and use the restroom as soon as we get situated.
While that may not seem like too big of a deal, we've had to lay over as long as six hours at the airport for a connecting flight before!
I was stuck at Kansas City airport for seven hours Sunday night/monday morning waiting for a connecting flight to come in from Chicago. Luckily, I had dropped the kids off in L.A. the day before, because we would have been totally screwed! I didn't get home until 2:00 A.M.
Austin's airport has "Family" bathrooms, which is what we need. Dallas has SOME, but apparently only if you're in the American Airline terminal, which does me no good because I almost always fly Southwest. (cheaper)
Just wanted to vent, and see if any other dads here are in the same predicament.
