I’m a little out of practice. My favorite daughter-in-law gets a kick out of me and that’s worth any soiled diaper that I have to replenish. Style points are for ice skating and gymnastics. Besides, I guess Giggles now has the smell of Papaw (I did feed her three times yesterday) and I know I’ll remember her smell as well:) Dad

That’s funny. My sister’s boyfriend had an interesting #2 diaper experience when I was just a new Dad. Let’s just say we had to open the windows of the house to air it out.

I don’t get the whole not changing diapers thing. At the worst it is just poop and there is bound to be soap somewhere in the house. I guess old traditions die hard.

Funny #2 diaper story. Giggles was grunting and groaning every time I went upstairs for more coffee today. My mom and dad are here today watching the kids. I looked over at Giggles and asked her to make sure she takes care of that before I get off of work.

About a half hour later, BAGM walked back into the computer room after one of her breaks laughing because Papaw had just finished spending, and I quote, “20 minutes changing Giggles’ diaper.”

Me and that kid are going to get along just fine.

I think it’s more rare than you think. In fact, I hear of Dad’s who refuse to change a diaper or at least refuse to change a #2 diaper because they can’t take it.

There same Dad’s seem to have no trouble “preparing” a deer.

While I agree that it is stupid not to have a changer, at least they are proudly not discriminating.

Uh, our public library doesn’t have a changer in either bathroom.

That probably would have balanced out the karma gods since I once congratulated a woman I hadn’t seen in over a year for being pregnant when she was just gaining weight. Then I didn’t even feel bad about it since she was always mean to everyone. I assume the karma gods will come back and get me about that one someday.

If it were me, I would have probably (without thinking) distastefully made a joke about you breastfeeding. I know people chose formula for a variety of reasons, but I tend to assume that everyone breastfeeds. I would have blushed and felt horrible for days.
