Changing baby's diaper in front of in laws??

I change my baby in front of in laws 🤷‍♀️ don’t even think about it I just do it

I change my son in front of whoever idgaf if he’s gotta be changed he’s gotta be changed their feelings aren’t my responsibility

My option is if you’re going into a house that has a baby be prepared to either see the baby getting a diaper change or having a meal. Don’t want to see it then excuse yourself in some way or stair at your phone for a few.

Hmm this is interesting. I’ve never thought about it this way. I didn’t know people get uncomfortable around diaper changes lol. I usually change them in another room or off to the side of the main room for my baby’s privacy 🤷🏼‍♀️

If you’re in my house there’s a good chance I trust you and therefore don’t have a problem with you seeing a diaper change. Especially if, as you said, they might be asked to do it themselves one day? Did the uncle say something or the child’s dad? If the dad who “doesn’t do diaper changes” told me to change them somewhere else I might make him eat the diaper. If the uncle said it, I would think not just twice but three times about leaving your child with them in the future.

Uuuuuhhhh I have never hesitated to breastfeed or change a diaper in front of anyone. I think it's super weird that anyone would have a problem with either of those because what it's doing is sexualizing something that isn't and shouldn't be categorized in the same way as something sexual. Otherwise, they wouldn't see an issue. I'm not saying they're thinking of it in that way per se but that's the assumption underneath it.

Nope doesn’t matter where in the house family is family and I’ll change it near them if they don’t like it to bad. Lol

I change my baby wherever I am bc he needs it. Not doing it in front of certain people?! Ummmm why not? Are they a child rapist?? I mean, if they're in laws they've obviously had kids before. I don't understand why you couldn't or wouldn't change a baby in front of their grandparents or Uncle??

I don't understand the issue, would you mind giving more details? I've always changed my child in public too if needed. It's sometimes very hard to find a changing table in toilets so I've sometimes changed him at a restaurant, directly in his stroller, etc. I've never minded if there were people around, watching or not. Am I doing something wrong? 🤨

Firstly, I wouldnt allow your husband to NOT change his own child! Secondly, the child lives there....uncle does not. Anyone not liking it....can leave!

Think it depends why you needed to change her.

If that's where you usually change Nappies, I say, what's the issue? It's your house, not there's, if they're uncomfortable they can leave the room, or the house, you shouldn't have to change when/where you change just because someone is there!! I do, however, change her Nappies in another room. If I know it's a smelly 💩 (only if someone is there, or we are about to have dinner), nobody wants the lingering smell when they eat 🤣

I assume everyone is a perv so I don’t change him in front of anyone. It’s your home so you do what you want in it but I would give you the advice to assume that everyone is a perv bc it can really be anyone.

@Essence what a hideous attitude to have

I have it the opposite way, I’ll go to a different room to change LGs nappy and guaranteed MIL will follow and watch me

Sounds like the men in your husband’s family need to be shown how to change a diaper 😅

I wouldn’t do it in front of other people. People without kids have no desire to see little peoples poop…

If you enter my house I’ll breastfeed in front of you, actually I’ll do it anywhere as is my legal right! Nappy change as well but probably wouldn’t in front of strangers as it’s my babies genitals

If he has a problem watching you change a diaper, I’d be VERY he distant to leave baby with him in the future. Your baby needed to be changed. I’d never put someone else’s comfort or preference in front of my baby’s needs or safety.

The respectful thing is actually for other people to leave the room when you need to breastfeed or change baby but if they’re not too fussed by it neither am I. Next time ask your brother in law what happened to his legs?

Like u said its ur house if he didn’t wanna be there he couldve left

I find this completely wild that it’s even a topic. Breastfeeding is natural and so is changing a nappy. Why are we sexualising these things.

If he finds it weird to see a babies genitals I wouldn’t change it around him anymore, that says a lot about a persons character imo.

If I feel uncomfortable changing my child’s diaper around someone, I promise you that person will not be around my child 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Reli just a pee diaper by the way

The only reason I try to go somewhere private when changing my baby, is because I’m practicing “your body is yours” awareness (even though he is 5 month old). I believe it is something great to be practiced as early as possible, and nothing against others.
