My mom told me that my dad refused to change my diapers when I was a baby because he couldn't handle the smell. I wish he was still alive for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that I wish I could tell him about the insane mess I just had to clean up and that he's a fucking pussy.

When I was changing diapers it’s always amazed me how a clean up job would take me 5 wipes minimum and my wife is doing it with 1-2.

Amen, brother.

I changed literally every poop. Got so good at it I didn’t even need a changing platform. I could hold the baby with one hand and change, wipe, and replace the diaper with the other standing in a mall bathroom 🤷🏻‍♂️

Did you make tactical reload sounds in your head? Or a bunch of spell incantations? :P

Pre kids I was horrified by even the thought of shit and vomit and everything in between. To a point where I was concerned with how I'd go with it when we had kids As soon as 1st was born, doesn't even register. Spewed and shat on more times than I can count and the only concern is that they're ok

That was always the dumbest thing when I was a young father.. peers saying “oh I don’t do that”. What do you MEAN?! That’s your kid covered in waste. Go solve the problem weakass.

Yep, I’ve met dads of little ones recently that get away with this somehow. Clean your damn kid. It’s not that hard. Get used to it you coward.

I have been hit. In the eye. By diarrhea. I still remember the smell. I now fear no man.

It wasn't the poo, it was you.

When my parents would babysit for my kids, my dad would do all the diaper-changing. My mom thought it was too difficult or something.

When my dad passed, his brothers revealed that he 100% changed our diapers when we were kids he just told my mom he'd never do it because of the smell and only did it when she wasn't around. I legit don't know if that was worse or better.

Some weird faux-masculinity thing going on there.
