OMG, it was revolting.
I can cope with ds's, but noone else's.
I will never become a childminder.

Im the same, i can quite happily change my dd3 and dd4s poopy nappy but when my cousin had an accident last saturday i couldn't deal with it.

Lizzylou · 13/11/2008 20:37

Totally with you, I couldn't change anyone else's toddler's nappy.

DS2's are bad enough!

TeenyTinyTorya · 13/11/2008 20:39

I couldn't deal with someone else's toddler's nappy. Ds is bad enough, and he used the pot so I rarely have to scrape poo.

I had to clean up three reception children who had pooed themselves this lunchtime, and then got landed with one who had been sick too.

You get used to it

nickytwotimes · 13/11/2008 20:43

It was horrrid - really stinky.
I salute all child care professionals!

wimps - you havent lived until you've changed 15 nappies in a row! none of the children being your own

nickytwotimes · 13/11/2008 20:53

IAteMakkaPakka · 13/11/2008 20:55

well named then, shitehawk

OrmIrian · 13/11/2008 20:59

Oh yuck! Non-familial shit is totally unacceptable.

BroccoliSpears · 13/11/2008 21:00

Once, a friend of mine voluntarily changed dd's pooey nappy.

avaTsar · 13/11/2008 21:04

Rofl at 'Non-familial shit'.

I quite agree btw.

mytetherisending · 13/11/2008 21:07

LOL! I went from nursing (wiping far bigger shitty bums) to childminding (small shitty bums!) Have been doing this for 8yrs altogether. You learn how to block your nose and breathe through your mouth and squirt oodles of airfreshener before sniffing up!!!LOL
Wimps

HeinzSight · 13/11/2008 21:08

ROFL

mytetherisending · 13/11/2008 21:08

Oh and worked in theatres for major bowel cancer cases so sometimes up to my neck in shite!

Guadalupe · 13/11/2008 21:08

Your own children's shit is food you've lovingly prepared coming out the other end, whereas other children's is just, well, shit isn't it.

avaTsar · 13/11/2008 21:10

That is gross and very funny at the same time

mytetherisending · 13/11/2008 21:10

If you think stinky nappies are bad you need to smell a peri-anal abscess to put it in perspective

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 13/11/2008 21:18

mytertherisending i get your piloridal sinus and raise it to a necrotising facitis!
For bad as poo is there is nothing ike the smell of rotting flesh!!

But back to op still dislike nephews nappies and I really should be used to it, I think it's an out of uniform thing (I'm in uniform therefore no harm can come to my clothes)

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 13/11/2008 21:21

pilinoidal (sp?)

moondog · 13/11/2008 21:23

lol at Myte and Doris

TheNewsMonger · 13/11/2008 21:40

NORMAL. My own children's poo is just poo, but other people's children's poo is disgusting beyond belief. Smelly, dangerous, lingering in my memory after I've bagged it. Very strange.

EyeballsintheSky · 13/11/2008 21:41

My aunt vomited over me while changing my nappy when I was little

TheNewsMonger · 13/11/2008 21:42

Aw, love that kind of aunt. Bet she was 'fun aunt'. Younger than your Mum. Cool clothes. ??
