Oh yeah, I've done the same thing. 'cept I asked a total stranger to go check on them. They weren't mortified, just a little annoyed at my nagging. We had a bus to catch! And I figured it was less embarrassing than me opening the door and yelling "Hey, hurry UP already!"
The first time I persuaded my son to go into the men's locker room at the pool alone, age 6 or so, he came out the other end soaking wet and stark naked, carrying his swim trunks... Poor guy was a little stressed.

I agree. When my kids were in elementary school (like 7 and 9), I taught classes at a hotel health club. It had mostly outside members; not too many hotel guests used the club, and it was fairly small. One day after work, I bribed my kids to come with me so I could work out and they went to the child care room. The bribe was that I would take them for a swim in the pool after my work out. So, when we were done, they went into the men's locker room to shower and change. I completely trusted them and I knew most of the members there at that time of day. However, they were taking a really long time and I was getting very impatient to leave. I couldn't go in there, so when I saw the superintendent of our school district come out of the locker room, I asked him to go in there and check on their progress (one of the advantages of living in a small town). He came out and reported that,"Scott was blow drying his hair and Josh is looking at himself in the mirror."
My kids were furious at me and embarrassed that I had asked someone to check on them. But, what was I supposed to do? They couldn't come in the women's locker room at that age; they would have been very aware of the female anatomy!

Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

I am not afraid to stand at the door of any men's room and holler inside. I have even given a count of three warning before I went in or heard someone answer. I have all sons--if something has happened to them I don't give a fig about some random guy's privacy. I'm going in there to find out what's happening.
