ParadigmParrot+FollowNavigating Restroom Choices as a Dad with DaughtersAs a father, I sometimes find myself in tricky situations when out with my young daughters—especially when they need to use a public restroom. The question often crosses my mind: Is it okay for me to take them into the women's restroom if there's no family option available? I always want to prioritize their safety and comfort, but I also worry about making others uncomfortable. Once, when my youngest urgently needed to go, I gently explained the situation to a woman entering the restroom, and she was understanding. These moments remind me that parenting is full of tough calls, and we do our best with love and respect. Have you ever faced a similar dilemma?

Luis Fischer+FollowPSA: If you see a dad at the park, don't be afraid to talk to them. We are lonely.As a stay-at-home dad, I’m often the only man in the room when I take my son to play spaces. I watch as the moms around me easily strike up conversations with each other — while I sit quietly, feeling invisible. It’s a lonely kind of life, especially since staying home also limits my social interactions.Yesterday, my wife had the day off and came with us. Instantly, the same moms who usually avoid me started chatting with her like old friends. It hit me harder than I expected. Dads love our kids just as fiercely. We crave community too.Next time you see a dad sitting alone, give us a chance. A simple hello could mean more than you know.Have you ever felt out of place in a community space?
