Me too! But I don't think the human species is in any danger of decreasing. We are like any population that has no predators. We keep reproducing until we create our own means of dying out (i.e. overpopulation leading to over-stressing the means of producing food).
My Office Mgr was super snarky to me already today. Just after I swooned over her freakin' brand new Honda 2001 Accord with moonroof and leather seats. Yeah, it's good to be alive.
Funny story.......I posted a picture of my crazy hen with her wrapped up foot on facebook....and after a few comments, explained the whole bumblefoot thing. how her foot was abscessed and I had to cut it open in three places and "dig" for the pit, etc etc......
And my mom's response was "you can do that but you couldn't change a diaper?!?!"
I have never changed a diaper in my life. And don't plan on doing it anytime soon. WHY is it that when I am over their house.....and the baby needs a diaper change, they fuss if I refuse to do it? When they are over my house and the dog craps on the carpet, do I fuss when they won't clean it? No.
Beaner, in my family no one expects a non-parent to change a diaper if the parent is around. Next in line for the 'doody' is a grandparent. If someone else volunteers they are checked for a fever or insanity, and an observer goes to fix them a drink.
When my sis had her baby she was way tired. L was a premie, and a very stressful birth. So my Christmas gift to sis was a night where I fed and tended L all night, and let sis & B-i-l sleep in. They loved it and thought I was an angel. But I had baby snuzzles allllll night long
Hey I had two kids and I refuse to change diapers. My Bro and SIL have twins and other sis has a 9 mo old and I hand them back the minute they smell. I did my diaper duty thank you very much! And It's plum rude to expect a non-parent to change a diaper, family or not. You had the thing, you change it!
