Nappies in the kitchen bin

[MountCrumpit]

Over the course of Christmas we've visited, and been visited by my sister and her family. My DN is 2 and obviously in nappies.
Both at hers, and ours, I've noticed a pile of soiled (varying degrees) nappies going into the kitchen bin and staying there for however long it takes the bin to get full.

Now I'm a bit weird about bins, never put anything wet in them, taken out every day etc... But I find keeping soiled nappies inside the house, in the kitchen bin, repulsive!
AIBU? Would I quickly get over it if I had kids if my own?

my kids nappies were never put in a kitchen bin either ... I used a Nappy Bin then straight outside to wheelie Bin... especially if I was staying with someone else... I'd absolutely take the nappy straight outside to a wheelie bin

That's revolting. Some people have very low standards.

That's grim. There is no way a nappy with poo in doesn't smell in a bin.

Standards are different. I think nappy bins indoors with soiled nappies are revolting. I can’t stand the smell. I take them straight outside to the big bin. But obviously a lot of people thinks it’s ok.

Shitty nappies go outside asap. No to the kitchen bin. Even if in nappy sacks.

I've met loads of people who would change stinky nappies on the floor my front room - why? Who wants to sit around in a room smelling of shit? I never said anything though. I never said anything because I just didn't.

We always put our nappies outside the front door and then pop them in the big bin as and when we leave the house (so usually a couple of times a day). Obviously if it’s a day when we’re not leaving the house then we just take them straight out. I guess this isn’t entirely necessary with just wet nappies but I’d hate to have a kitchen biin filled with them - although we don’t empty ours every day

It's all grim..... ALL nappies in a normal, kitchen bin is grim and lazy

Our inside bin isn't actually in our kitchen, its in the outhouse/garage that's attatched. Wet nappies get put in a nappy bag and in that bin, dirty nappies go straight in the outside bin.

Also 'obviously' in nappies at 2, a lot of kids are toilet trained by that point. To the pp who said its lazy though, 2 is still very young and its normal to still be in nappies at that age. Mine were 21months and 2 years one month trained and I think that quite good going

This is foul and so unhygenic yadnbu op
This reminds me of my niece changing a very poohy nappy on her dd and then preparing a bottle of milk without washing her hands . I nearly had apoplexy!

@KindergartenKop

Kitchen bins are gross anyway. Yabu.

Speak for yourself. My kitchen bin is never gross. I have a small kitchen bin that is emptied every 36 to 48 hours.

Putting a shitty nappy in the kitchen bin is foul. YANBU @MountCrumpit

Personally I think it's gross. Had a row with DH xmas eve as he put a soiled nappy in the kitchen bin, every time it was opened the smell got out. The bag was almost empty but I put it outside. When I'm at other people's houses and baby poos I ask them where their outside bin is and make sure it's wrapped in nappy bags. I wouldn't put it in a kitchen bin. Also it makes me wonder if they've washed shitty hands in the kitchen sink.

I agree completely with you OP and I have three kids.

It would really piss me off as people who use disposables rarely empty the shit away.

So you basically have a pile of shit in your kitchen bin...totally gross

I remember a former SIL doing this at in my home over 20 years ago. Fucking rank.

She's so prim and proper, too. But thought I'd like faeces in my cooking area because it came out the arse of her first born.

I was adamant soiled nappies will go in a nappy bag and in the outside bin.

Until he soiled frequently at 2am most nights then it was bagged and put in the kitchen bin.

But we did empty the bin daily as it was quite a small bin.

The only thing that bugs me is the girl over the road puts her children's nappies in the wheelie bin outside and if the bin men drop one, they don't pick them up and you often see a nappy in a sack on the road then it's ripped open then it's all up the street.

Both wet and dirty nappies go in the kitchen bin here. It’s emptied daily.

I’d add, at someone else’s house they’d go in a bag and outside.

We live in a top floor flat so taking a nappy outside required walking down 4 flights of stairs and out down through a communual garden to the main bin.

So, all the nappies went in our kitchen bin, which was then emptied daily. Can't recall my kitchen ever smelling of shit.

Flung in the porch here and taken out to wheelie bin at soonest possible opportunity (never more than an hour or two!)

YABA bit precious. But you won't be the only one. I do always ask people where their wheelie bin is but many parents don't. A bun with a lid is a bin with a lid. Most kitchen bins go out regularly. And finally they are guests so it won't kill you to accept some (can be stinky) rubbish in your bin for the short time they're there.

YWNBU to ask them to put #2 nappies directly out if it's really stressing you out.

I remember being at DHs cousins house not long after we met and a relative changed her baby's nappy on the dining table . Just before lunch was served . Disgusting.

I used to double bag and put in the kitchen bin as our bin men refused to take anything that wasn't in a black bag. Once a nappy in a nappy bag was left at the bottom of the bin for a while and I had to get it all out and clean the bin. It was grim. In our current house the bin is in the 'lean to' as there's no room in the kitchen. We're well out of the nappy stage now though

I , like you didn't know what was the best. Once I had a baby and realised that nappies make the bin smell terrible (only pee) It took me a few months which is terrible haha but I couldnot link that the smell was from the nappies. Once I stopped it was fantastic. Also seen a thread on here that said a panty liner of zeflora to keep smells away in the bin and it worked haha

Ours tend to go in the 'kitchen' bin but the bin actually sits outside the kitchen in the porch. We don't have an outside bin as we are too rural to get standard bin collections.

Saying that, now it's cold and we have the multi fuel stove on every day I tend to throw the really shitty ones on the fire and incinerate them.

Fortunately DD tends to poo like clockwork once a day in the morning so it's pretty predictable and it's not often I get caught out away from home.

Shitty nappies never in kitchen bin. Pissy nappies fine in kitchen bin (in a nappy sack first)
