I never give this much thought till now. I have never ever entered a nursing room nor diaper changing room in shopping centres etc before I became a mommy. Now I always check out where they are as soon as I reach. Do these upset you? They paste a signage to say it is solely for parents with children and babies and yet other folks abuse it. 1) Shopping centre staff go in to chit chat and put on makeup or get hot water when there is a separate pantry for them. There you are changing diaper and a man walks in to get water and tries to look. 2) An elderly aunty was almost "bathing" herself and splashing water all over herself and spitting non stop at the basin in the diaper/nursing room at Airport T3. She had also parked her hoarder trolley inside the sole nursing cubicle available. 3) An NTUC promoter locked herself in one of the 2 nursing cubicles for quite a while. We thought the door for this cubicle was faulty and that it got locked inside. A couple and their baby were deprived of the cubicle because a promoter hid inside to rest/chat on her hp. After half an hr when i went in again i saw her coming out, looking away and avoiding all eye contact with me. Whilst it is our privilege to have these facility, I am indeed thankful but will never abuse if I do not need. Just ranting. Share with me what you might do if you witness these scenarios. (nice and polite way)

Totally understand how you feel, I too have never ever notice the nursery rooms at malls or NY other places till I started bringing my newborn out from 4 weeks ago. Some places have really nice and clean nursery rooms while some are being abused by staff. My worst experience was at T3, Airport staff keep coming in to take hot water AND why is there no cold water dispenser? I have to walk to the other toilet to get cold water from the water cooler -_-
