Calling All Men!

Charlotte · 22-03-2007, 20:25

The 'welcome back' thread for Cotter sparked a question in my female head :

How many of you men have ever changed a nappy?!!

Crew, perhaps we could have a poll here for the men to answer, with the following options:

*Never *Once *A few *Loads
*Wet *Soiled *Rip-roarers

With comments about your experiences in the thread to amuse us women

This should be interesting

Your wish is my command, voted - I'm a dab hand (sorry Graham) at it. We have twin sons and I could do them both a the same time

I've got two daughters (both grown now with kids of their own) and I changed them a lot. I can't prove it but I think my now ex-wife used to hand me the baby knowing they needed to be changed, then acted surprised when I noticed they had a nasty one.

Charlotte · 22-03-2007, 21:01

Thanks for poll Stepheno

Twins huh

Double-trouble ... I'd really like to see a pic of you doing both at the same time

LOL Howard

- changed my boys often when they were young, as i belive all jobs with the kids have to be shared, the good stuff, and the not so good.

P-E · 22-03-2007, 21:28

Never.

cotter · 22-03-2007, 21:40

Never....but I'm sure thats just about to change. ::

People keep telling me "it's different when they are your own kids" but that can't possibliy change the smell

Great thread Charlotte

I will make you cringe... Our son was 12lbs 8oz and 23.75" at birth... he is almost 11 months old now and approaching 30lbs. My wife had nerve damage in her arm during a very long labor so she couldn't lift our son for the first 2 and a half months. You can trust I know how to change a diaper and everything else. The good news is my wife has full use of her arm and fingers, it only took 8 months for full recovery.

I am now riding a day that started at 4:30 am when the bruiser decided to wake up early and stay up... long day getting longer. Thankfully he is taking a nap now!

**Angela** · 22-03-2007, 22:38

Ummm...what about us women? I can hand on heart say I have never ever changed a nappy in the whole of my life!!

Charlotte · 22-03-2007, 22:49

Gotta hand it to the Frequently Fella's ... you're winning in the poll

Bob - good on yer

P-E - you really must try it, best remedy for a cold ... clears your nasal passages quicker than Vicks

Cotter - they lied

Graham - yes, but did you change their soggy botties??
Chris - 12lb at birth

I'll bet his nappies pack a punch
