There was a reason why my son was nicknamed "Squirt".
I edited my post from "my dad" to "his dad".

MY dad had four kids and five grandchildren, and changed less than a dozen diapers in his entire life.

One time he was home alone with me and I dirtied my diaper. He actually went to the bus stop at the corner and begged one of the neighbour ladies to come in and change me. She did - which goes to show how different things were in 1967.

I'm one of seven and I'm pretty sure my dad never changed a diaper. It was a different time back then though. And actually my husband wouldn't put the cloth diapers on my daughter, so we ended up using disposables instead.

The absolute last time my Dad changed a diaper would have been 68/69'ish.
After changing my brother, my dad couldn't him to stop crying. He rocked him, fed him, put him in the buggy and jiggled it. Two hours later, when my mom got home, he was still shrieking.

C'mon - you all know the verdict .... My dad had actually pinned right through bro's skin. He NEVER changed a diaper again. Not even when Pampers became widely available.

Honestly and seriously, I definitely did did my share of all parenting duties. It just didn't seem right otherwise. And, also, honestly and seriously...it ain't always easy, but, I LOVED bein' so involved. :happy:

That was DH's biggest fear. I was trying to do the "crunchy" thing, but I learned to love disposable diapers if it meant that he'd change her too.

I think I've said this before on here but changing diapers never bothered me. It didn't seem any worse than cleaning up after pets or some of the things I had to do working in restaurants.

My dad would retch and heave until his eyes watered - just talking about it!

Oh my!!! My lil' sis is 12 years younger than I, and I and my younger bros used to change her diapers when mom and pop went out and other times, and we never even did that...if she was wailin' for that long I would like to think we would have checked... :confused:

Missed this one. I've seen and smelled a whole lot worse in my life than dirty diapers that should have made me power hurl and didn't, so I guess that's probably why the diapers were pretty minor league for me.

I'm not proud to admit that changing any diaper other than my kids' would make me retch and heave too.
My brother and I had our babies three days apart, and even though I was changing a dozen diapers a day, I couldn't change my nephew without heaving.
