    Ah they'd be ok with you - cos girls can't be paedos. You know, cos they're so motherly and stuff...

    I would not like to have it happen in front of me. How hard is it to go to another room.

    if possible at all i would bring the baby into another room. would usually ask the person where is ok to change the baby etc. in my opinion its just good manners to ask, a lot of people don't care but of course some people don't want to see a nasty nappy on display! i have seen people who have been visiting another house and they just literally change the baby on the kitchen table or couch without asking, in full view, no hand washing either! eugh. don't need to know lol!

    I was in a friends house a while ago and her sister was there with her 1 year old daughter. During the visit the baby needed a nappy change so she changed the baby on the floor on a blanket.

    My friends husband threw a FIT saying its rude 2 change a childs nappy in front of people, i dodnt mind it but he flew into a rage over it.

    Would you be offended by someone changin a babys nappy in front of you?

    Yes it is disgusting, yes it is rude, but thier house, thier rules. If one of my friends brought thier baby over to my house or we were in a neutral venue and it needed to be changed I wouldn't let them do it in front of me though, how hard is it to carry the baby up to the bathroom where everyone else sh1ts.

    Not if it happens in my home. Why the hell should I be the one to move?

    I don't particularly care if someone changes a child infront of me, but if there's another room free I would expect them to use it. It's common courtesy.

    If someone were to need to change their childs nappys whilst in my house though, they'd be given the option of the bathroom or the backgarden.

    This wouldn't bother me at all. Why should the baby have to be moved to a different room? If it's a little chilly in the baby's own room, why unsettle her by moving her from the nice, warm living room?
    This was in her mammy's own house, wasn't it? Can't she change her child wherever she likes?
    C'mon... Whether we like it or not, we all had to wear nappies at one stage. And there's a good chance we'll wind up wearing them again some day...

    LOL. The lady was in her own house with her own child. Unless she rolled the nappy up and hopped it off the OP's head then her husband was out of order.

    If the baby and all the changing paraphernalia was in the room why would she cart it all elsewhere. It's a childs nappy not nuclear waste.

    To show some common courtesy or decency towards the guests of her house?

    Grow up the lot of ye. It seems as though that most of you do not have any kids of your own. When that time comes and you do have your own, you'll want to change your kids nappy ASAP, or would you rather leave it in it's own filth till you find a private space in which to change it's nappy because you'll feel better for it. "Oh! no its a dirty nappy...run away, run away".

    I'm more concerned about the other stuff tbh.

    Anyway, it's not polite to be whipping off a babys nappy, cleaning their bits and then changing them whilst there's guests in the same room.

    I think it is acceptable in your own home. After you get over the initial horror of wiping an a*se that is not your own, and routine sets in, it isn't so much of an issue any more. Mom starts to forget it might be nose / sight-offending to the visitor.

    The above said, maybe Dad didn't want his young daughters bits on display? Maybe not so much to do with the nappy..

    Dads are particularly protective of their daughters, and with good reason.

    I don't have kids at the moment. When I do though, there'll be no way in hell I'll be whipping off it's nappy and cleaning up it's shít in the same room as I've guests in. It's rude and ignorant.

    We're talking about being in your own home here, private space shouldn't be *that* hard to find.

    Regardless of whether I've kids or not, I'd still hold the same opinion regarding being polite and changing the kid in another room in the house whilst entertaining guests.

    You deleted it. I have a 'back' button. As does sherifu.

    As I said; worst trolling evar.

    Damnit.

    Glad someone found it funny.

    Trolling is a deliberate attempt to wind someone up, I was trying to make a joke out of it. You're a mod, you should know this.

    ANYWAY, back on the thread topic.

    I can see how parents might not see how it's impolite to change their kid infront of guests, as it's a day to day occurance to them and they'd be somewhat numbed to it, but regardless, it's not a pleasant act and common courtesy would dictate that when possible, it shouldn't be carried out infront of those you have welcomed as guests into your home.

    Is it ok to change it infront of other parents? More so, but it's still rude.

    Could just be a guy thing though.
