Changing nappies on airport seats

I don’t have any DCs yet and not planning on ttc for a few years.

I was at a mallorca airport last and the plane was about to board abd a lady changed her around 4/5mth old baby’s dirty nappy on the passenger seats. I told her that was disgusting and people have to sit there to use the bathroom opposite as there was a changing table in there. admittedly there was a big queue but not the point imo.

When I have DCs, I’d never dream of doing that, I’d always use the facilities provided in the vicinity as respect and courteousness to others. I personally believe it’s lazy parenting not to use adequate facilities available!!!

AIBU, that some parents with babies these days think they’re so entitled just like the one I’ve described above ? And AIBU for berating her actions the way I did ?

Calling another woman a skank is so unpleasant. You just fell squarely off your high horse and landed in it's feces.

If someone is engaging in skanky behaviour I'll call them a skank, regardless of their gender. I'd say the same to a man if he was doing this.

Really glad to see that most of these commenters get it. Manky, dirty, anti social and unacceptable behaviour.

Normal parents don't behave like this, we managed just fine not being filthy, anti social arseholes in public.

Again, you are right. She was wrong. Inarguably.

Edited

And well done on calling out the dirty cow. Entitled, filthy people like this are used to being able to bully their way over normal boundaries. Good job not letting her get away with it with no push back.

That gross, think of old Bert or Nancy chaging their Tena pants at the airport gate, no difference to changing a shitty nappy in terms of hygiene 🤮

What was the point of you posting OP? Every single post from you says that you are convinced that you are right.

Just moaning about a random woman, expecting us to join in with you to make you feel better?

@thelakeisle1 Are you quite well? Only repeatedly quoting yourself to carry on ranting is a bit… much.

Also not sure why you’ve so effusively pointed out that you always had a mat and wipes with you, so do most of us with small children. So did the subject of the OP.

Never done it but also wouldn't have berated her. I have in emergencies had to change nappies in the boot of the car and felt the stress of passers by staring so I have sympathy if it was an emergency.

But who sits in the boot of your car?

The kids as we have 2 seats in the boot.

Some cars do have seats in the boot.

They are generally people carriers and large hatchbacks (7 seaters). They are suitable for children mainly, but can be used by some adults if necessary.
