NO matter what, mommies are simply more attuned to this kind of thing.
Apologies for my incorrect assumption- but I think it still holds true if we substitute the word "mommies" with "Birth Mothers"
I have witnessed, first hand, the remarkable changes pregnancy brings to a woman's body and mind.
No matter how hard I try, I'll never be able to see things the way DW does.
(BTW she's due in less than 3 weeks!!! I really feel for her in this heat)
You either have to find a family restroom where there is just one big stall, wait on a handicapped restroom, or take the baby out and use a carrier or even hold them while trying to go (which is difficult, but can be done).kama_s said:I'm not a mother yet, but I have a question for you ladies. Personally, I bought it would be easier for someone to take the baby plus babyseat (whatever those things are called!) to the men's washroom, considering they have urinals. How on earth do women fit the baby in a small enclosed stall??

In your case, even if your DP thinks that it is ok to leave your daughter in the car when she runs to the bathroom, YOU do not think it is ok and so I think she should comply with your wishes. She should do it not because she is a horrible mother for leaving your daughter, necessarily, and not because you micromanage, but because it is important to you. One day she will want you to do something *she* wants that you think is silly, and then you will comply because it is important to her.

I think if I were in a situation where I locked the keys AND the baby in the car (if the car was off) I wouldn't wait for the extra set of keys (it gets so hot so fast in cars, especially with the temps you had). I'd break a window and deal with the cost to replace it.
