Actually, I think the lesson should be "be careful of how you express yourself." I could say that I personally am not comfortable or agree with letting my 4 year old kid use a public restroom alone without at the same time bashing or insulting those who do just that. In your case, I can see from what you have said how it was basically a practical necessity. Would I do it with my kid? No. Am I "appalled" you did it and do I have a whole bunch of judgments about you and your kid? No. I can say "well she was doing the best she could in her situation, etc. I can't judge I do not have deal with caring for two sets of twins all day every day." YKWIM? Try to communicate without the harsh judgment. Save it for people who are actually not being good parents, not parents who are really trying their best to navigate the journey and find the right balance.
