That is a question I feel I am constantly asking after becoming a mom. A changing table is something that, if you do not have kids, you take for granted. But almost a year after having Eli, I know how indispensable those beige plastic things are!
Today was one of those days where I am out and about with Eli and I need to change her soiled diaper. So as I head to the store's (TJ MAXX) restroom to use the changing table, lo and behold, there was
none. ZERO. What did I have to do? Well, head out to my car to improvise and change her in the back seat, while she is being her usual squirmy self that can't stay put for me to change her. Sigh*

My little squirmy lady..she wouldn't let me finish dressing her. |
The sad part of the story: this was not the first time I have had to change her in the car! If restaurants and stores could take into consideration families and have a changing table, it would be splendid. Maybe it should be even made into legislation (as I have researched that there are no laws even requiring restrooms!). And I don't mean only in women's restrooms, but in men's restrooms as well. Something that even my husband agrees on as he is very hands on when it comes to parenting.
What do you think? Have you had a similar experience to me?
