No, which actually means the table is less protected from any germs I might carry around. One less layer, you know?
Actually, it does, because you’re claiming so much personal knowledge about childrearing, based on supposedly having done it.
But, as I said earlier - oh, well.
Comes a time when the brick wall isn’t fun any more.
It also means, I assume, that you are less likely to shit in your pants than those who do wear diapers. It isn’t the number of layers, it’s the possibility of what might lurk under the layers.
Whether or not I ever changed a baby’s diaper in public has nothing to do with whether or not it is necessary to sit said baby on a restaurant table.
I’ve found that to be true over and over here. But then, I am required to sit and rest far more often than I imagine you are, so I have to do something
Curlcoat, you’re a fucking nutcase fruitcake, is now the new "last reply’.
Idle Thoughts you’re a low-balling, scapgoating piece of shit. What a cheap shot. How about you go sodomize yourself with a green crayon.
Is green somehow significant? Did I miss the last memo??
Mom? :eek:
Counted on to keep a clean diaper for an hour?
Jesus Christ, what kind of shit-spewing monsters were you taking care of? No wonder you hate babies. My kid rarely pooped more than once a day past the newborn stage, and there are some who poop even less. Hell, once she was six weeks old, I probably changed her diaper once every 2.5-3 hours.
An anecdote for an argument earlier in the thread. The other day I was at the courthouse at work, and a woman got on the elevator with a baby, probably about 9 months old, who was wearing nothing but a diaper. It was hot outside, but inside was totally air conditioned.
And that was the first time I’ve ever seen a kid wearing nothing but a diaper outside of the confines of his or her own home.
No, I’m gonna bet that was the first time you noticed it. Because of this thread maybe. But I would bet the rent that’s not the first time you saw it. Maybe you see them out and about in a tshirt and diaper and don’t pay much attention.
At first, when it was brought up in this thread, I thought it was a ghetto thing. I see babies out with just a diaper on all the time in the ghetto. But then, I remembered that every Red Lobster or Walmart I go to is far from my ghetto and way out in the burbs. And yet, there they are. Little diaper clad babies in the summer sun, licking on a sticky popsicle, trying to keep cool.
No kidding. WhyGirl pooped once a week, Friday at 12:30. Coulda set the atomic clock by her until she was 2. I totally forgot about that until you just mentioned it.
Okay, first of all, Idle Thoughts, I thought you were dead. Second, where is my goddamned story? The people have not forgotten!
Not dead, just Lost. cue eerie music
Arrrggghhh, I know, I know. 
I’ve just gotten majorly sidetracked, although that’s no excuse. I do intend to finish it, I’m sorry I haven’t by now.
I just finished the series finale the other day, too.
Well, I work in juvenile court, which is a hotbed of terrible parenting, and yet the babies are all clothed. I once saw someone feeding a 4-month-old a blue Dum Dum lollipop, but she had all her clothes on, at least.
And a t-shirt and diaper in the yard is much different than just a diaper while in a courthouse. I dunno. Maybe it’s that I live too far north for kids to truly be too hot to wear nothing at all.
Well, just to clarify, I don’t think that a baby out in a diaper and tshirt is bad parenting…
I just am gonna say I always give extreme coincidences a second glance. I think it is an extreme coincidence that you have never in your life set eyes on a baby with just a diaper on in public until after this multipage thread on the topic came up.
ETA: or maybe that really is only common here. I don’t know. Who cares. Never mind.
Its not you.
I’ve lived decades in the deep south. And not the ghetto (where ghetto = mostly minority and pretty darn poor) but more suburb or suburb/small neighborhood lite. My day to day existence has been with mostly white and lower middle to middle white class (with some obvious underepresented fraction of poorer and/or minorities) and a smidge of upper middle class.
While I can’t say I’ve been on the lookout for diaper only babies in the last decade or so, I can say with damn certainty that when someone claimed “diaper only clad babies don’t exist” the first thing that popped into my mind was “what fracking universe do YOU live in?”
So, it most definitely aint just you!
