Do you change your child's diapers or leave the dirty work for someone else?

I'm so happy that I don't have to deal with diapers anymore. However, when either one of my children was in diapers, I was typically the one that did the dirty work. Occasionally my husband or my mother would change their diapers, but it wasn't a normal thing for that to happen. I did, however, once know a mother that would call her husband home from work when their baby had a dirty diaper because she said she couldn't stomach it.

Hi, For sure I will do it myself.It is my duty as his mother to clean him up and I just can't leave this work for someone else to do for me. Of course, if I really busy,then my husband will help me up. But for my mother-in-law,I don't think she will help me up. And I also don't want to ask her to do it for me. I am taking care of my son since he was born,from bathing,changing diapers,etc...all are done by myself alone.

I'm not a mother yet but when I was 12 year old, I used to baby sit our neighbor's baby because the couple have to go to work. If the baby did something, I was the one changing the nappy. It was an experience because at young age I did not think I could do it.

Generally, when I noticed such things, I suddenly have something important to do elsewhere, I simply holler, "Honey, Baby wants you"...and vanish. Of course, when I take him out for the afternoon, or mommy is away, I have to deal with it, but he would much rather have mommy there, at least that is what he keeps telling me...she must do it better. Cheers.

When my children were babies I did the majority of diaper changes, my husband would help, but he worked 10-12 hours every day, except Sunday, so he rarely had the chance. I did not mind changing my childrens diapers tho. My granddaughter was born when my daughter was 17 and my daughter was very inexperienced, she was a child herself, and I raised my granddaughter for 22 months. I changed nearly every diaper. I seriously doubt that my daughter changed a dozen diapers in those 22 months. But she is married now, is being a very good momma to her 2 and a half year old daughter. She also has a 7 month old son and she and her husband share diaper duty.

Yes,i do it myself. I had 3 kids and care them by myself. I had a nanny each time i gave birth becoz,i delivered my kids thru c/s section. but still i took care of my babies personally. The nanny is there only to assist me,not to take charge of my motherhood.

Heck no! I was so overly neurotic with my first/only baby I hardly let anyone do anything to/with him! I worried they wouldn't get all the pee/poop out of his little johnson, wouldn't put the right amount of powder on him, and/or wouldn't put the diaper on the right way - so not to leak, pinch him or make his clothes fit badly! LOL Now I can laugh about it, but honestly, I would have much rather done it myself than worry about it - or God forbid, let someone see that I was going back to double check the job!

I'm Nana, and I babysit my only grandchild. He's 8 months young. I'm here with him all day, so I change them. When my daughter or son'law get home, I don't mind changing them then either, except that he's warn me out during the day, and I don't have much strength left.

I run a daycare so I do the dirty work for myself and others all day. I know that my husband only changed a handful of dirty diapers when my daughter still wore them. Now that she is potty trained I still have to take her most of the time due to the simple fact that I am with her all day and she is more used to me taking her than daddy. I guess I have done more than my fair share in diaper changing and still do daily.

I personally do diaper changing myself.. But when my mom was still living, she sometimes does it for me.. But since she was gone, I was the one to do it, and sometimes my sister too. I don't see it as dirty work because it's my baby and I don't mind it at all.. I am just glad that my kid learned to be without diapers when she turned two and she never wanted to make a 'Poo-poo' on her diapers and do it in the bowl instead.. My husband never minds if he has to change baby diapers back then.. He doesn't see anything wrong with that, but if I am available then I do it and I don't let him do it for me..
