diaper changing in public

  • I once saw a mother changing her baby on the train, what the fuck is that all about. It seems that when some people have kids they loose all common decency.

    I think it's more a matter of your kids come first. It's just human nature to put your kids first. Well... most of the time. :rolleyes:

    Ah no, indecency is when you let a small, helpless child sit in its own faeces and urine for hours so as not to upset the sensibilities of people that clearly have never had a shit or pissed themselves in their life. It's the only explanation I can come up with for the judgement.
    NOPE!!!

    There is a time and a place for everything, just because you have a child does not mean you have to loose respect for all others around you.

    I have to semi regularly do a 5 hour train journey and honestly even just being selfish and not thinking about the fact the baby is stuck with a wet/full nappy I'd rather a mother change the baby than have to sit next to the smell for 5 hours of a child with a full nappy, or crying non-stop 'cause they are uncomfortable And it's not like the trains even provide anywhere for baby's to be changed so the parent can try to be 'decent' and take the child to a baby changing room. They have to do it in front of everyone.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    what if you have no respect for the others around you? ;)

    if me changing my baby girl grosses people out then all goths should be banned as they are repugnant to me.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    then respect me and don't let your dog shit on the ground... oh i know you pick it up... but the image of a dog shitting on the ground makes me iller than looking at goths.

    I think so do the parents ... they are stopping you from having to listen to their baby cry non-stop ;)

    You sound like my great grandmother. :D Oh and if we're gonna get old school pedantic, it's LOSE not LOOSE! :p

    You're entirely missing the point, but that's ok. It would be nice to be around when you're old and incontinent so I could remind you about time and place, make sure and never be seriously injured and not in control of your bodily functions either. But no worries I'm sure they'll just lock you up so as not to offend anyone and hose you down a couple of times a day. Won't that be nice? :)

    I mean I'd LOVE to meet the mother that can train their child to shit and piss on cue. I mean that MUST be what she did! Cued the kid, "Look junior, there's a live one, we gotta disrespect them, drop your load there's a good kid!"
    NOPE!!!

    Ok, I understand that but in this situation the decent thing to do would be to ask those around you if they mind. If I was asked by a mother who needed to change her child if I minded I would say sure go ahead, no worries.

    Just like the kid didn't soil itself just to disrespect you.

    I'm sensing a pattern here.

    but why should they ask? if you're going to say 'no worries' anyway... then why ask?

  • I am so glad we are all adults and can have a proper discussion about this. I am just stating my view, I am not disgusted or offended by it, it's just something I would rather not see whilst traveling to work in the morning.

    I would understand that if you where sat in the field and I came right over to you with my dog and let him have a shit right next to you.

    polite?

    i need to look this word up!!

    i'm trying to think about all the polite people who used to light up cigarettes next to me over the years without so much as asking me if i mind.

    so you really have no problem with it, except that you want the parent to ask you if its ok, but that you'll say its fine as you have no problem with it?

    that's impolite!!! you making parents ask you something that you're not even bothered about! :D

    Yeah, ok me too. I think I already mentioned that I do my utmost to not be around kids that need to be changed but I hate to say it, "shit happens" :D

    It's such a trivial thing you'll excuse me if I'm struggling to have a "proper adult discussion" about it.

    Nobody said you have to love it, I'm just wondering why you can't see it for what it is. :)
    NOPE!!!

    even from 400 yards its too close.

    and the picking it up via the 'plastic bag glove' method is utterly disgusting.

    i'm retching at the mere thought.

    I have no problem with it as long as the parent is respectfull to those around them. If you think that is impolite then thats fine with me.

    i've seen drunk people piss on street corners... they are grown adults and they can't find a toilet... and you're complaining that a 3 month old baby is getting its diaper changed? is it really that big a deal???


    appreciative nods are so cool... i bet that lowly paid mall worker is glad to have forced a mother to pack up all her stuff and take a baby who is lying in its own feces into a bathroom... and i bet that mall worker is still sitting at home right now masturbating at the thought of the 'appreciative nod'

    Dunk? Can I kiss you?

    I agree he is masturbating for his own power trip because he never made it into his local junior college's criminal justice certificate program.....

    and the battle rages on!
  • changing a baby on a train that doesnt have a bathroom or anything is very different than out front of a mall though. if you can be respectful to others and choose not to... now if the lady was gonna be on the train for like 5 minutes more, i think the baby can wait.

    i have a hard time giving people with kids that act like this the benefit of the doubt though cause you see this kinda thoughtless behaviour all the time.

    How does changing a diaper outside hafta do with anything ...like repect for one? I just dont understand why people are so upset about a woman changing a child's diaper?

    If anything you should all be ticked off that the woman is using disposable diapers which are filling up our landfills....

    Wouldn't you like it if smokers asked you, though? If you hate something, don't you do it too.

    Again, this is a respect thing. You don't change your kids diaper in front of a restaurant. If you're going to do it, do it somewhere people aren't eating.

    I really don't see how other people doing nasty things in front of restaurants justify your behaviour.

    they can ask me if they want... if i say 'no, i'd rather you didnt' then they'll probably just light up anyway... smokers are the least respectful of all.

    why are we discussing restaurants?
