Real men change their baby's diapers

[dovekiller]

So whose idea was it to put the dirty diaper thread and the candy bar thread right next to each other?

 

[wundudnee]

They always smell so sweet when they're cleaned up, besides, I've never been in anything that wouldn't wash off.

Ahhhh memories. I used to like to feed them different colors of baby food to see what color they would poop. Beets always gave an impressive purple-ish hue, while carrots would give that vibrant orange. Green Peas used to bew the absolute worst-looked like green swamp slime. What used to get me was changing the boy and when I took off the diaper he w=ould salute and next thing I knew I was gettingh a stream all over my last clean white shirt.

I brought a daughter up by myself. She is now 32 and I've got a grandson. I had zero problems changing her diaper. It smelled bad to me but how do you think she felt with all that on her little bottom.
I am Father and Mother to her.
Today is Mother's Day and she is taking me out for a lunch. Every year I get a card or a nice lunch on Mother's Day and Father's Day. She is a great daughter. She renews my Shooter's World yearly fees for Father's Day.

I've changed my fair share of diapers. And I'll sure be glad when we get this potty training complete. When my daughter was five days old, my wife and I went to bathe her in the kitchen sink. My wife took her diaper off and as soon as my daughter's butt hit my hand, she filled it with poop. My wife couldn't stop laughing, so here I am with a handful of baby and poop. I had to laugh too, what else can you do?

Hand the rugrat back to your wife woulda been my first move...

Hey, it's just another job that needs doing. Changed a lot of them in the day, will probably do a few more with a new grandson. My son already changed some on Day One and expects to do a lot more of it.

Only thing that ever got to me was cleaning out a calf pen in the muck and mire. THAT was bad.

Never cared much for drunk college kids barfing up all over the place, either.

I had a lot of older cousins, and they were a prolific bunch. Seems like babies were everywhere when I was growing up. I think I had changed diapers by the time I was 12.

Caj-
Yeah, one learns quickly about the "baby boy ambush". The warm diaper comes off, the cool air hits the plumbing, the tell-tale shiver, and you are hosed. Keep everything covered!

I noticed early in my tour the Vietnamese mothers had a novel approach- children from the age of about 5 down simply run around naked from the waist down. Probably works best if you have dirt floors instead of shag carpet.....

Bleach that sink.

I always said I would never change diapers.

My wife had 2 boys, both with a Caesarian birth. She was in pain so I changed all the diapers when I was there. It was just something that had to be done. Changed my grandson when necessary.

I don't have kids so I've yet to change one BUT if I end up having a kid then I'll man up and change a diaper. Hell, it would be half my fault the kid is here anyway. My dad changed mine and learned to cover me up after that 1st yellow fountain incident. Now my mom did catch him holding me in the shower after a particularly messy diaper, can't say I blame him.

Not only have I changed diapers on each of my 3 kids many, many times but I have NEVER stuck any one of 'em (with the pin)... so far!

And I thought I was old fashioned. Hint: The new fangled diapers are "pinless". Tapeless, too. Its a velcro kind of closure.

I was ask by my sister to watch my nephew for a couple of hours back when I was single, eighteen years old to be exact, and my nephew messed his diaper. Well, being the industrious uncle that I was, I took him outside and removed the diaper and had him bend over and I hosed him off in the yard. It worked very well, I was a couple of feet away from the stench and then it was a simple matter of towel time, powder, and new diaper.

Yes, but that was a great challenge - no? Especially at 3am!
Also we actually used cloth diapers (a service at first but then we had to buy some and wash them!) Another challenge!

 

[glypnir]

It isn't a big deal to me. Changed lots of them, had to deal with the projectiles out of both ends as mentioned.

I did draw the line at inserting the phenergan suppository. That was wife's work, so far as I was concerned.

Six kids and I can count on both hands how many times I changed a diaper.
And I can count on one hand how many times I changed a diaper full of crap!
If the wife or any woman was around the job was pawned off on them

Let's face certain facts, you can either do it without hurling lunch or you can't. I was never strong enough.

LOL excatly!
The wife could never understand how I could gut game and do simple operations on the dogs but couldn't get close to a crap filled diaper without getting the dry heaves.
