To of changed my babys nappy on the train

[wouldntofgussed]

Was only ten minutes into an hour and a half journey when my little one needed changing no toilets on the train either. I took her up to the end of the carriage where I change her nappy a lady on the train told me I was disgusting

Ahem - sanctimonious - sorry Pagwatch et al.

It's fine SDT. I forgive you, you lovely old cunt'

I have no problem with you having to change a wee baby's nappy but I do object to bad grammar

It's fine SDT. I forgive you, you lovely old cunt'

Twice apparently ...

It's very sanctimonious of you to point that out SDTG.

Such a lovely compliment, you had to say it twice! [overwhelmed]

SDTGisALovelySanctimoniousOldCunt - I am not sure, but I think that is too long for a new nickname!

If someone complains about me changing a nappy in a situation where no changing facilities have been provided, I politely suggest they take their grievance to whoever is in authority, and assure them that as soon as someone provides an actual solution, my baby's smelly nether regions will be first in the queue.

It has a certain ring SDTG

Or perhaps SDTGhasalovelysanctimoniousoldcunt.

I'd rather a quickly changed baby than have to put up with the dirty bugger who used to get on the 06:05 every morning and immediately go and take a smelly dump that pervaded the carriage for the next 45 minutes. I used to pray for out of order toilets.

Don't worry about stupid people making stupid comments.

I know my English is rubbish will try harder in future ha ha .The train was going from Sheffield to Manchester (getting of at reddish north) all the stations in between are small so not sure if any have changing rooms anyway.
Maybe I'm being selfish but didn't really want to get of the train when I knew the next one wouldn't be due for a an hour and my five year old had fallen asleep. I moved and change her right at the end of the carriage near where the buggy's/bikes go so was as far away from all the other passengers as I could be.

I think you did the best you could in the circumstances, and the person who made the comment was being very unreasonable. Don't let it worry you!

Well I have learnt something today. That not all long distance trains have loos. Yet we are supposed to all be using public transport. Mmm.

A friend of mine was dismayed to find no loo on a coach recently. Apparently there is no requirement for one if the journey is less than two hours and his journey was an hour and a half. I wonder if it is the same is for trains.

I know loads of people that would find that a huge problem Hemlock.

I would have done the same. No way would I leave a baby in a dirty nappy and risk it squidging everywhere which would then require a full clothes change too. Plus train loos are tiny.

Trains are disgusting anyway, I doubt changing a nappy at the end of a carriage would have made much difference. The standard of hygiene on them is shocking.

If there were no baby-changing facilities available then of course YWNBU, OP. Needs must and all that.

I was on a train once that went from Brighton to Cardiff with no loos! We'd all got megatrain tickets so they were only valid for that train.
Anyway- OP YANBU

I have done the same and it wasn't just a poo, it was an explosion! She should've kept her thoughts to herself.

I could not leave DS in a nappy more than 10 minutes, so would have done the same. YWNBU!

I may have been tempted to smear the nappy all over the moany ones face but that might have been a tad unreasonable.

Yes, I am with the disgusting vote. Yuk.

Its far from ideal but you did the best you could in the circumstances.

You could hardly leave a baby in a dirty nappy for that long

I had a 'flight on the London eye once and waited ages in the queue. About 5 minutes into it a couple changed their babies really, really smelly nappy. No way did I mind but it was a full pod and I could see other people nearly gagging! But as a Mother of 3 and a nanny, I know these things happen. But why didn't one of them do it whilst other stayed in queue, or wait till the end? They fussed about so much they missed most of the trip. And no the baby wasn't new born and because of my position I saw the babys bum and it wasn't red or sore. Weird.
