In a world where innovation is at our fingertips, one father is on a mission to ensure that changing tables are available in men’s bathrooms. The year is 2016, and while we have self-driving cars and virtual reality, men still often face a frustrating reality when it comes to diaper duty in public restrooms.
Meet Jake Thompson, a stay-at-home dad who found himself in a pinch during a family outing at a local diner. When his little one needed a diaper change, Jake bravely volunteered. Little did he know that he would walk into a bathroom devoid of the essential changing station. “I thought I was being a proactive dad,” he told local news, “but I was shocked to find that this diner hadn’t caught up with the times.”
It’s hard to believe that in this day and age, there are still establishments stuck in the outdated notion that diaper changing is exclusively a woman’s duty. Many fathers are now taking on equal parenting responsibilities, and some even stay home full-time with their kids—gasp!
Jake’s experience sparked an initiative—he created a blog called Dads Changing Diapers, where he tracks businesses that support fathers by installing changing tables in their men’s restrooms. This helpful resource allows dads to input their location and find out where changing tables are available, ensuring that they can change their little ones without resorting to the bathroom floor.
While the diner where Jake faced this challenge has since installed a changing table, many other establishments still need to modernize. Let’s hope that by sharing stories like this, more businesses will recognize the need for family-friendly facilities. Until then, hats off to those who are pushing for change (pun intended).
