not to want my friend to change her ds's dirty nappy in my sitting room?

I had a nice friend of mine over today with her ds, who's 2 and a half. When her ds needed a nappy change, she asked where she should change him and I suggested upstairs in the bathroom. But her ds didn't fancy that so she did it on the sitting room floor (on changing mat). I wouldn't have minded if it was just a wet nappy, but a dirty and really smelly one?! I'm afraid it really grossed me out and the smell lingered for ages. My own dc's dirty nappies don't bother me at all, but this did. AIBU and too fussy?

My MIL didn't like me changing DD's nappy in her living room on a changing mat when DD was a newborn :-(

As she asked and you told her to use the bathroom no I wouldn't say You were being unreasonable. Maybe a little picky but it is your home.
Personally it doesn't bother me if my friends change their kids in the living room I do with my toddler and I see it as a part of the deal when you invite people over with kids. (This is just my opinion I'm not saying people are right or wrong for thinking differently)
It's only poo and it's only a smell open windows or use air freshener in the grand scheme of things there are plenty worse things people could do. X

It is disgusting. I found it vile pre kids. And still vile when I had twins. I had two in nappies and never felt the need to inflict the contents on anyone. I am assuming the people calling the poster precious also do it.

I remember a mother changing her baby on the edge of a soft play pit as toddlers climbed in and out. I pointed to the changing rooms and she said 'its easier here' when I complained to a member of staff, she called me a 'fucking busy body'

Child in the OP now 4 years old and hopefully using the OP's loo. Grin

YANBU. You told her to change it in the bathroom. I would have taken the child to the bathroom without asking him what he fancies! At the very least, I would have asked to change it in a different room.

Zombie but I've learned that maybe I should be putting 9 month old ds nappy contents in the toilet. Makes me feel a bit sick

If regular toddler's nappies smell so bad, what do zombie toddler's nappies smell of? Shock

YANBU, she asked you where, you told her upstairs, she ignored you. Toddler poo is not the same as milky poo. Yuk.

Oh bollocks!
