Brothers Andrew Loffa and Michael Colletti had a debate over which restroom to take their 2-year-old daughters to while visiting Walt Disney World. Loffa, a radio host known as DJ Drewski, was accustomed to taking his daughter to the men’s restroom, while Colletti preferred to take his daughter to the women’s restroom for cleanliness reasons. They both used their preferred bathrooms on this particular occasion, sparking a discussion about the issue.
After their visit to Disney World, DJ Drewski took to TikTok to share their differing opinions on the matter. He stated that he feels uncomfortable entering a women’s bathroom and prefers not to invade women’s safe spaces. Colletti, a police officer, explained that he believes the women’s restroom is a cleaner option for his daughter. The debate sparked a conversation about the role of gender in determining which restroom a parent should use with their child.
Parenting and youth development expert Dr. Deborah Gilboa weighed in on the debate, stating that as long as a father is accompanying his daughter in the restroom, there shouldn’t be concerns about using the men’s restroom. She also pointed out that in situations where changing tables are needed, it may be necessary for a dad to use a women’s restroom. Gilboa advised sticking to the men’s restroom unless there is a valid reason to use the women’s restroom.
The TikTok video received nearly 7,000 responses, with people sharing their own experiences and opinions on the matter. Some shared that their fathers would take them to the men’s restroom and have them close their eyes until they reached a stall, while others preferred using the women’s restroom with their daughters. The responses varied, with some emphasizing the importance of ensuring a child feels safe and comfortable in the restroom environment.
Overall, the debate between Loffa and Colletti highlighted the different approaches parents take when it comes to taking their children to the restroom. While there are differing opinions on which restroom is appropriate, the most important factor is ensuring the safety and comfort of the child. As society continues to navigate discussions around gender and parenting, it is essential to respect individual preferences and choices in these situations.
