My husband freaks at the thought of pooey nappies.

Twice he has taken off a nappy to find poo and just walked away lol.
First time he didnt tell me and she got poo everywhere...as you can imagine and needed a bath...lol
Second time i was eating lunch and he just walked away again,so i had to stop eating to go do it.
And just now Lilli was laying on the floor with her nappy off and he was talking to her and then i hear "Kristy shes backing one out" lol and he moved so fast....its like its going to jump up and hurt him or somthing lol.....i think i would rather just do it myself though....that way i know shes getting clean properly hehe.

had to laugh tongue

joel does like a poo one once month. proberly changes just one nappy per week. so not to bad.

DH will change a dirty nappy if he's with her at the time she does one. Usually he's at work too when she does them but on weekends he will change them as required.

HAHAHAHA.....

you people are funny, my partner barely changes regular nappies let alone pooie ones.

and lets face it its easier for me to do it without the moaning and the whinging and the "OMG babe you should see this one its disgusting!!"

well der they dont call it poo cause its pleasant

congratulations to all those girls who have daddies who do the nappies.

My partner is the same and it cant handle any dirty nappies and if he does change one he is nearly choking on the smell and than calls me to finish it and now I just go and do it myself.

But I know for me I have had days where I have nearly been sick but when you are the only one home you cant walk away when they are on the change table incase they fall off and hurt themselfs. I just think that man have weak stomach.

My fiancee is great with our daughter, 6 mths old. He used to hate it so much and still sometimes gags at the thought of changing a gross poo, but generally he is delighted to spend some time with her, he works in mines north qld, even if it is changing her smelly bum!!!

Hey smile

My baby Lukas's dad will change a yucky nappy is hes home from work, its funny cause Lukas laughs at him and smiles while hes changing him,but not when i do it. I'ts like he knows its foul and has to have a laugh cause dads nearly gagging while cleaning it up.. cute!! not the poo lol

Hi there well after reading these posts i feel blessed!!! My husband and i take turns (he is a shift worker) On is day shift i obvioulsy look after the children by myself as he works 12 hours and by the time he is home they are in bed. Night shift he makes sure he feeds our children (18months and 6 months) bathes them and puts them to bed before he goes to work. On his days off he is up to them through the night and gets up in the morning and feeds and dresses them!!! He can even put an outfit together!!! So he obvioulsy changes lots of dirty nappies!!! and he also does their washing when i am out and cant do it!!! He is a great dad and a great husband and i now realise how lucky i am!!! but if he didnt do any of these things then he would spend any time with his children due to his work and would miss out on so much!!! Sarah

Gee after reading some of the posts I feel quite lucky!!!
DH has changed DS nappies from day one, I have never had to come in and help him or take over once, dont see why I should, DS is his too!! Men are funny arent they? sometimes I think they probably do it just to get out of it!!

Hi all,

My dear hubby has always helped since bub was born. He has absolutely no problem with changing pooey nappies ,he agrees it's not the best sight or smell but taking turns to change him is fair.

hi

my dh doesnt change nappies but it is so much quicker if i do it and i honestly dont mind him not doing it. changing nappies isnt what makes them a good dad and dd doesnt love him any less for it.

Hey i tend to save the poopy ones for my DH!! he hehe

While he will change the nappy - he does struggle to put it into the nappy wrapper! which leads me to a little story...

changed the nappy - great. forgot the nappy wrapper - not great. we have two dogs who found the nappy....no - not shredded all over the room - just licked the poopy nappy clean!! YUKKKKKKK!!!

they stank all day long - it was soooooooooo gross!!!!!!!

now DH uses the nappy wrapper!

Hi all,
You don't know how good you really have it until you hear other people's stories. I have a 3 month old baby and his dad has been great from day one, he feeds him, changes him(poo ones to), baths hiom and plays with him if i need a sleep. The first night i got out of hospital he even sent me to bed real early so i could get some sleep and he looked after our lil boy

HI NEL

JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT YOU DO HAVE A GREAT HUSBAND IF HE DOES ALL THAT BUT EVERYONES HUSBANDS ARE PROBABLY JUST AS GOOD TO THEIR WIVES/PARTNERS JUST IN DIFFERANT WAYS, IT REALLY ANNOYS ME WHEN PEOPLE BRAG ABOUT WHAT THEIR HUSBAND DOES BUT WHAT I ALWAYS WANT TO KNOW IS DO THE HUSBANDS DO IT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO OR THEY HAVE TO OTHERWISE THEY GET THEIR BALLS BROKEN FOR NOT HELPING. i AM NOT HAVING A GO AT YOU AT ALL SO PLEASE DONT TAKE OFFENCE BUT MY HUSBAND IS AN AMAZING GUY AND DOES HELP ALOT BUT JUST DOESNT CHANGE NAPPIES AND I WOULD HATE TO SEE DADS GETING A BAD NAME COZ THEY DONT CHANGE A NAPPY.

Well mine does absolutely stuff all! DD will be 1 at the end of the month and he hasn't changed 1 single nappy. And he wont look after her either because as soon as I'm out of her sight she screams until she can see me again, so it's just so much easier for me and my sanity if she comes with me.

Hi,

I've had no dramas at all changing nappies (pooey or not). I thought it would have taken a bit of getting used to but it's really not that big a deal. As for my balls getting busted... well my partner would definitely take care of that if i got slack and didn't want to change any nappies.

This however isn't my motivation.

If my little girl has a dirty nappy...she's uncomfortable.

I have two choices. (A) I can change her or (cool i can wimp out and leave her to be uncomfortable.

It's not a hard choice to make.

My hubby has changed poops since day one and never complained. He even changed the very first one after birth, the really yukky one!! When he was younger he used to change his nephew and neice's nappies with a teatowel wrapped around his face!! haha. Thankfully he has grown out of that. I can also trust him to clean her properly after a poop, he is very good. I am one of the lucky ones.

My partner changed OUR DAUGHTERS FIRST NAPPY and will normally change her bum at least once a day which is great coz i do get sick of doing them ALL the time!!! smile

My hubby does but only when he has to other wise it is me. the only time he has to is when I am at work and it;s just him!

Seths dad has NEVER changed a nappy.In his 7 months of life he has never dealt with the inner dwellings of them.I dont mind though...

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

change a pooey nappy? I so had to laugh at this one.

One day got so annoyed that DP hadn't changed a pooey nappy (let alone many wet ones) that I heard DS snap a runny one off and I snuck outside to hang out the washing. hehehehehe I then got this plea for help through the window when I had a sec cause he didn't know what to do and how to clean it. hahahaha

i hav laughed at so many of these posts my DH will change DS nappy if there is no one else around (not that he wants too) but if anyone else is available he usually complains untill they change him. The worst and funniest time so far was when DS was 3months old.He had gastro and you can just emagine the pooooooo. i was sick in bed as well and my mother had just come to visit and help with the washing. Dh did everything possible to not have to change the nappy, clothes and play mat that was entirely covered but failed because i stayed in bed laughing and mum was told not to help unless it was dire hehehe. i let him off a little more after that.

Sha, Brock 7 1/2 months

I have to say my DH is brilliant. He has changed our twins nappies from day one. I had a c-section so he did the first nappy changes as I was stuck in bed. Having twins he NEEDS to do his share, and he does complain about the smell, but even I tell the boys (they're only 5 months old) that they have a stinky bottom!!!!I don't have to ask him to do it either. What he doesn't always do is get the warm water ready for the nappy change, so he just uses wipes which I prefer not to do at home, but other then that and the fact he hasn't had a poo explosion on his clothes yet, I have no complaints.

hi i was just looking over the winnig recipes and noticed your name. and then seen your reply about dads changing nappies.your name struck me because my son's name is also seth and has just gone on 12 months and i just thought it was funny because he's dad bearly ever changes he's nappy i eigther so i no how you feel.

I totally agree with mylilpoppet, does it really matter who does the nappy changing, isn't it better to focus on the love and attention he gives his family. My husband will change a nappy if left alone with our daughter, it doesn't faze me to change a dirty nappy so when we are together I do them - it does not mean he loves our daughter any less!

My Dh does them when he is home, he says why should the mum have to stop everything to do it if the dad is available? It's equal in our house.

Geez my partner being realistic here, has only changed probably about 15 nappies if that since baby was born in december 2006!
sad

yes,when he's not at work he'll jump in and change one boy while i do the other boy. my dear hubby is feeding both boys their bottles while i type, he has been involved with every aspect of the boys life since we found out i was pregnant. i panicked how i was going to cope with twins, but i shouldn't have worried, hubby is my rock.he's had it all from everything from poo sprayed up his arms, vomit down his shirt,3hr walks in the pram to get them to sleep. but the best thing of all, letting me sleep in on the weekends, he says,if mum's not happy then no-one's happy (especially with two babies to care for), he's a wonderful dad even if he didn't change pooeys
and he's got a game he plays with the boys to keep their hands outta the poo

my partner never changes nappies even when i broke my arm he helped undress her and lift her legs up while i cleaned her up lol.

Hhmm..,I've quit work for a few years at least, because DW wanted kids, but didn't feel she would be a good mother(bad history with her own mum),anyhoo, yours truly steps up to the plate.
I'm doing a great job(yes including washing and all housework)so much so that now I'm starting to think I've spoiled the missus too much as I'm getting the same sort of problem with her now.
Maybe being at work all day is a convenient "out" for the stresses present at home, I know this is true for a lot of dads who throw themselves into their work after baby is born.
They reckon they're doing it for the extra money, I think there is underlying stress from not really knowing what they're supposed to do.
Maybe they need more bonding time so they care more about their baby's comfort.
P.S. Charlie's so beautiful her sh#t doesn't stink(I know it does, but It's a lie I'm willing to try to live).
