To think its not ok to change a nappy on pub table in garden ?

[yellowowl]

My Dh thinks its fine !

I think it's gross and a bit rude.

He thinks I'm being over sensitive.

Aibu ?

Why don't people change nappies on their laps these days? It means there's no issue at all. There's no way I'd get down and change a nappy on the floor of a public toilet, and that's not about the baby, that's about me!

I wouldn't be happy about a nappy being changed on a table, but it's the kind of thing my dh wouldn't have thought twice about doing....

I am absolutely fine with this. It's an outdoor table. Birds shit on it. Rain, mud, sleet and rubbish fall on it. Nobody in their right mind would eat directly of an outdoor pub table. And presumably they used a changing mat anyway.

shesparkles I was thinking the exact same thing! I always changed both DS on my lap - no mess, just lay them down, whip it off, wipe and put new one on; no need to mess around with mats etc

YANBU it is utterly disgusting. I don't think its acceptable at all to have toilet stuff on a tale where you're eating. A mum changed her daughters nappy on the table in my local Wetherspoons where I used to live and I couldnt believe it - gross and unnecessary. In her case there was a toilet about 6 feet away!

Eurgh - not as bad as it's outside so tables are probably filthy already, but still off putting if people are eating nearby and get a eyeful/whiff of the contents.

whats even worse is people who whip their kids pottys out in the middle of dining areas - inside - and let it do a poo next to tables of people eating!

YANBU. It is not OK to change a shitty nappy on a table at a pub, even if it is an outside table.
Yuk yuk yuk

I once changed DD's nappy on the bit of seat next to me in a M&S cafe. Felt a bit doing it there but the toilets and change facilities were all cordoned off and out of order due to flooding and I couldn't leave DD in the stinking poo she'd just done. Tried to do it as quickly and discretely as possible and would never have done it on the table. Took the nappy home with me too as it's just not appropriate to put it in the cafe bin.

I think it is vile to change nappies in eating areas.

SoozleQ Took the nappy home with me too as it's just not appropriate to put it in the cafe bin.

Really? But it was okay to change the nappy in the cafe?

Hmm...

Believe me, if the toilets or baby change had been open, I would have used them. They weren't. At that particular point in time, I had no choice.

i have same thinking lines as spero. babies being changed on a garden table is least of there worries. it will of had rats and mice ect paying visits anyway. it doesnt bother me in the slightest.

It was the end of the day so there were only a couple of other people in the cafe and they were sitting right over the other side of what is a pretty large room. There was no one eating and certainly no one sitting close by either eating or drinking. If there had been, I wouldn't have changed DD at that point near them. However, I was with my mother who has a real thing about changing nappies the second they are dirtied and so, given the circumstances, undertook a quick discrete change out of the view of anyone else. Because M&S stays open later than the other shops, nowhere else nearby was open to use. As for approaching the staff, you've obviously never been in my local M&S!
