to change dd's nappy on the bus?

[amieis]

When we are still 30 mins from home and she's whingey?

Tut bogey haven't you learnt by now that we let our dc's piss everywhere and wipe shit over the seats

Sorry black, forgot that they are all carrying the plague! :o

Or scared of catching 'the common'

:o

Unhygienic ? You do realise that, say, the bar you're holding onto was probably also used by some random bloke that just scratched his bollocks or something. It's a bus. Hardly sterile environment..

Unhygenic? You are having a laugh, aren't you?

I'd rather have wet/dirty nappies in nappy bags on my buses any day rather than some of the really nasty and disgusting things we find on a very regular basis.

For example - a passenger who could not wait, obviously didn't want to get off the bus, and shat down the emergency exit door of the bus.

Or the umpteen times we find used sanpro

How about the day we found that some lovely person had shat on a seat, then wiped it over everything they could reach.

A nappy is nothing - nothing in comparison (and the above examples are the nicer ones I can remember at the moment)

I'm not 'coming around' to the idea. I still think it's disgusting behaviour. If someone is polite and informs me, (note I said informs not asks) then does it as discretely as possible I'd find a way to get over it. Whipping the kid out, doing it and having a 'fuck everyone else' attitude is still trashy to me.

Probably not the best idea to expose a baby's bottom to that environment then, especially if there is the possibility that the skin is broken from a rash for instance. Do you want to lay your baby down where little hands or a bare little bottom could come in contact with a seat that may or may not have had a brush with a used tampon? The nappy is not the problem. Best to keep it on on the bus to protect the baby from the really nasty stuff.

Bogey -- I used to clap a muslin over the whole kit and caboodle as soon as I opened up the nappy, and took it off slowly when I thought it looked wet enough.

Math, you're forgetting me have mummy ninjas here who would never allow baby to touch the seat it's all done on their knee etc etc.

Of course toy can change a nappy on your knee and you don't have to be a ninja to do it. Tho maybe I am a ninja ha ha

Whipping the kid out, doing it and having a 'fuck everyone else' attitude is still trashy to me.

but no is saying that they are doing this lurking. I think you have played this scenario over in your head too much as what has gone from a swift nappy change where no one notices has become a full blown wip kid out and fmake a big song and dance about the task and to fuck with everyone. NO ONE HAS DONE THIS OR SAID THEY ARE GOING TO.

and deanery, no environment is sterille for nappy changes least of all the disabled toilet/changing facilities that are generally available. it just does not warent a sterile environment.

Wow you guys are still going

I would rather be considered trashy then leave my child in pain or discomfort.

I don't think anyone has a fuck everyone else attitude, we just know that being idealistic about anything related to babies and small children, and that includes nappy changes, is unrealistic because babies are unpredictable.

That's why often these catbummouths, whatever the situation, come from people who either haven't had their own children yet or it was a while ago and they can't remember how tricky some situations can be.

I remember a disapproving post from a woman about to have her first baby who said that her and her partner didn't "believe" in buggys once the child can walk and wouldn't use one under any circumstances as it looked trashy after the age of 1ish. I often wonder about her, if she figured out how to get a 1 near old to walk several miles in the rain whilst in a hurry to get to an appointment!

I think it's trashy to not just be polite about it. Not the nappy change itself, and I think 'asking permission' is ridiculous. A 'sorry, my baby desperately needs changing,' and a sympathetic smile is all I ask for.

And no I don't have children (very painful topic) but that doesn't make me 'catbummouthed.' :(

so you keep saying lurking, but point to the posts where anyone said they would not be doing that.

I was very catbummed mouth before I had DC. I could literally cite dozens of intolerant narrow-minded examples.
Just me, then. (?)

oh god i didnt mean she kept saying about not having children, you have read my post wrong. I ment she kept saying about the smile and aknowleding other passengers etc.

no need get shitty about it. Read the whole scentence and that may help.

No stress, I understood you weren't being cruel about my infertility. :)

I have seen posts saying they wouldn't do that, and that's their choice I guess.

I am glad I have developed empathy for parents with babies that really can't handle waiting. It's not something I have experience with and I hope it's rare. Poor bubbas! :(

I just think manners go a long way. :)

Empathy? Really? You've got a strange way of showing it!
