to be OMG! and totally grossed out - nappy.....

[LifeIsButtercream]

I was changing DD in the loo at a playcentre the other day, a mum comes in with her 9-ish month old DS, takes off trousers, opens nappy and finds its one of those lovely exploding poo's that our little angels are capable of springing on us. Luckily it wasn't a leaking one - but it was HUGE!

The mum takes one look and says "Eurgh, think we'll leave that one for your dad when you get home", closes the nappy back up, redresses her DS, sprays some Impulse on his bum and goes back out.

They stayed at the centre for another hour before leaving.

Seriously!

thats foul. I mean, you might look down the back and notice a poop and then exit quietly, go home and deal with the fallout there, but to get as far as opening the nappy and putting it back on again? why the hell would you do that. Clearly you open up the nappy with the intention of changing it? why would you do that and then not finish the job. Lazy, cruel, and in my opinion neglect.

kickarsequeen pfb I know But it can't be comfortable in a hot damp nappy for 10 hours even if everyone does do it..

IAGTBF, Really, worry less! You baby is excellent at communicating her displeasure, if she was upset about it, you would know!

Yuck.

The thing is, though - she was already half way there, having undressed, opened nappy etc. Surely wiping and putting on fresh one is not much harder than reclosing dirty one??.

Poor little baby.

Mind you, DS had a habit of dropping a bomb when he's sitting in the buggy ready to leave for nursery. I have a choice to hoick him out, change etc. and then be late for nursery, or go straight there (it's literally about 2 minutes away) and inform them that I think he may have pooped on the journey .

Even though I hate them with a passion, I personally could never do that. The times I have changed those lovely green stinky teething nappies he he. Isent it what you sign up for when you become a parent

Just get a few wipes, nappy on jobs done.

Oh. My. God. what a callous bint. If her little boy got rotten nappy rash coz of that I hope she gets really bad thrush!

Poor baby . Amazing what kids will tolerate. DS can't tolerate a dirty diaper. Ever since he was tiny.

That's vile. Hate to think what the rest of her parenting is like.

And Impulse FFS!

Why would you leave it!!!! You would have to put up with the smell until the dad got home- would be worse than changing it! EEUURRGGHH!

My DS3 would happily sit in his own poo for hours.
My OH doesnt have a sense of smell.

The smell that sometimes hits me when I come in after a couple of hours shopping on a warm day

Its enough to knock me backwards out the door.

(disclaimer if i am out for longer than that DS will have been changed. OH checks him everyso often )

what prozacfairy said

and

I can imagine my dh coming home and immediately changing a babies nappy .

When I was at the nursery a mum would come all glammed up and drop her ds off in his pjs with a poopy nappy on and she used to say im so glad i can pay to get out of the morning shit .

Surely thats neglect?! Poor baby, some people shouldn't have children

At least it sounds like the baby has a nice daddy.

Poor little baby pooed - that is so cruel. DD has pooed once or twice during car journeys and I haven't smelt anything until I've got her out after which I've changed her as soon as I could, and I felt bad enough about that even though she was fine and suffered no ill effects. I don't understand how you could knowingly leave your baby in a dirty nappy when you have a changing facility right there to use, it is quite beyond me.

DH always changes DDs nappy as soon as she has pooed (when he is looking after her) but it never occurs to him to check if she is wet. He has left her in the same nappy from morning 'til bedtime once because it didn't occur to him to check

I must admit, I hate those morning nappies. If DH is there I always try to find an excuse for him to change her instead of me.

i could never leave her in a dirty nappy though. that's just cruel.

Makes you wonder why some people bother having a baby if they can't be bothered to look after its most basic needs.

"i wasn't watching" but by god I judged...

And why shouldn't she Oenopod?

You like to be inflamatory, why is that, what is your view of a mother who does this is it wrong to judge then?

You appear to be judging the OP, Surely If she may not judge then nor may you?

I knew a woman who used to leave her baby's nappy all day long until her husband got home. Pure laziness.A nappy should always be changed as soon as the baby has pooed [or ASAP] as the poo and wee combined produces ammonia.[or so I was told]
My exhusband would never have even changed a dirty nappy. I do wonder how these women get away with it, do they actually do anything at all?

Not judging Oenopod - encountering behaviour which I felt was not quite right and seeking others opinions on the matter. For all I know the lady is a great mum (she was running around playing with her baby, etc) but does things differently to me.

Flame elsewhere, if you must
