And now, for my next anger inducing thread
Why do parents think it's ok to change their baby's diaper in public? I pulled into a parking lot the other day and noticed some lady gently put her baby on the trunk of her car and started changing it's diaper. Come on now. There are restrooms with baby changing stations or the back seat of your car. Heck, I don't even want to see you opening your SUV's back door and doing it there.
Does it bother you to see women openly nurse their baby's in public? What about changing diapers? People these days have no sense of propriety. In the same parking lot, I saw another lady tell her son it was ok to pee right in the parking lot. So he unzipped and whizzed on someone's rear tire. What's wrong with these people? I know I know, I doubt this subject will elicit the same angry responses as my other thread, but I thought I'd keep this one lighter .

Well, when you enter into the lovely world of parenthood, return to this thread and see if your views change. I say this b/c 3 years ago i would have said the same thing, except worse. But after having my son i've realized its tough as hell and children have no concept of convenience. If the parent just drove an hour to get somewhere and the kid needs to be changed, go for it. If you don't like it don't look. But honestly a lot of bathrooms (especially for men) are not really the best place to change your kid, even if it has a changing table (which is rarely the case unless its a mall or something).
My son is 2 and in the process of potty training. getting him to pee in a toilet is like pulling teeth. But for some reason he enjoys peeing outside...and on things. I wouldn't let him pee on someones car. Thats pretty messed up. But i do let him go behind a tree and let loose. The only thing that i can't tolerate is when people have a crying baby in a restraunt and they don't excuse themselves with the baby. Thats ignorant and i would kick you out of my establishment personally. You don't have to leave, just get up and step out real quick and calm the child down. I don't mean when a kid just cries for a second. I mean when they're just pitching a huge fit and screaming, etc. I see it happen allllll the time and it drives me nuts. But i've been there and i always stopped to remember how much it annoyed me. So i would grab up my son and we'd step outside or into the bathroom until he calmed down. Not knocking you, thats just my experience and perception. |

I'm not going to tell you how to potty train your kid. That's between you, him, and the tree I agree on the screaming baby. It's understandable if they're new born, but I REALLY can't stand the toddlers who are pitching a fit and just screaming while their parents ignore them in the hopes they'll shut up.

I can look away while the baby is being changed, but please put the used diaper in the trash. Grossses me out when people just leave them next to where they were parked.

I don't mind them changing their kids, I don't mind them breast feeding either. I hate when they leave the shytty diaper for someone else to pick up or get pissed when someone notices they are breast feeding and tells everyone in the area "Boob Alert".

I seriously never know where to look when I come across a lady with her boob out feeding her baby. As for changing babies in public, I don't know that I've ever come across that situation. Is it an issue where you are?

I feel like breast feeding and diaper changing should be a private matter. I went to run at the park with my gf the other day and there was some lady changing a child's diaper on a bench in the playground. I thought it odd that she would choose the most populated place to change the diaper. No one wants to run through the playground, trip and fall face first into a diaper full of baby poo.

BTW, I think it's much more uncommon to find someone breast feeding in public. Just squirt the boob juice in a baby bottle and bring it with you on ice. problem solved.
I'd imagine it would be very awkward to see that; especially if your talking to them.

Actually, I've seen more women breast feeding in public than changing diapers.

Ok, breastfeeding mom here - you can not equate breastfeeding with changing a diaper. As for where to look, how about at whatever it is you're doing? Besides that, for most of us, if we are breastfeeding in public, you likely don't even know that's what we're doing, because we are usually pretty discrete about it. Just this past week, I fed my daughter all around Disney World when she was hungry, and actually had several people chat with me who didn't realize that she was eating.
Now, the diapers and screaming kids - I totally agree with you on those fronts

I have a small child and the wife and I change his diapers in the car. It is not always easy to find somewhere with a changing table, and anymore there are the " restrooms for customers only" but I wouldn't consider the back seat "in-public" we are trying to be discrete. As for changing at the park, that is to much and a kid peeing on my tire would land the parent a serious ass chewing. Plus I have no problem if I see a person leave a diaper on the ground, picking it up and setting it on their car.
Breastfeeding takes another approach, I understand your child needs fed, BUT if you are to poor to afford a breast pump then you should have waited to have a child. There is no reason to make a scene because you feel it is your right to impose on everyone else. I know it is perfectly natural to breast feed, but it is also perfectly natural to have sex and I dont want that done publicly either. |

I've got no problem with people changing diapers in public (provided they throw out the diaper or take it with them afterwards; I'd have an issue with them littering).
Ditto breastfeeding in public -- I have many friends who do it, and I plan on doing it someday. It's a total non-issue for me.

Two comments - it's not about being too poor to buy a breast pump - you try using one and report back your findings... they are terrible, painful, and a pain in the a$$ to try and clean. I'm attached to one every day when I go to work, 4 times during the day. They don't maintain supply the way an infant feeding does, and they are not as efficient at removing milk, meaning that women are still uncomfortable many times after using one. Secondly, there is nothing sexual about breastfeeding and the two should not be compared that way. Breastfeeding is using breasts the way they were designed to be used.

Public diaper changes: I have no problem with them as long as the parent cleans up
Public breastfeeding: kinda awkward, but it is a normal body function. I don’t mind it as long as it’s legal in the area and the woman tries to keep herself covered. Yes, I am a parent. Yes, my views on both these subjects changed when I had a kid. Becoming a parent will do things like that to you |

my wife never had problems with her pump and I generally cleaned it for her, most of it went in the dishwasher. I cant remember the the brand but she was really happy with it, when she gets home I ask if she remembers might be a better fit for you.
As far as comparing sex/breast feeding they are both using the parts the way they are designed and I wasn't saying breast feeding is sexual. I am saying while both things are natural and normal acts there is a time and place for them, which should be in private. |

What I found out from that experience many, many years ago is that I can hold eye contact for a loooooooooong time without blinking... Oh and I just finished my pediatric rotation, breastfeeding in public isn't illegal. Our American culture has a issue with it because breasts are taboo and usually only thought of as a sexual organ (here). |

the whole breast feeding in public thing is kinda a pet-peave of mine so whenever i see someone unprepared enough not to bring a blanket or something to cover up and feel comfortable enough to swing em out in public in front of a bunch of people, i be sure and sit down and take a nice long gander and make them feel as uncomfortable as possible. seriously though, you can't pump+pre-bottle it or at least bring a towel or blanket or something to cover that up? makes you wonder what would happen if you started video-taping it.
