When she confronted her husband about it, he brushed it off. “…He just shrugged his shoulders and said maybe she doesn’t need a change before bed,” she explained.
“Completely ridiculous suggestion as it’s another 4 hours at least until she wakes up in the night, meaning she would have had 6-8 hours in the same nappy.”
“Last night her nappy felt full and about 10 minutes before we went up to bed I checked and it had a big blue line and looked like a fairly full wet nappy but when I went up he tried telling me again that it was basically dry and he didn’t think that nappy change was necessary anymore.”
She wasted no time addressing the lie with her husband, before pointing out that his laziness could cause their daughter to get a painful rash.
His response was to protest that he was too exhausted to do it and it’s really her responsibility to be changing the diapers.
She’s concerned this behavior is going to be carrying on forever and he’s going to keep avoiding just changing the baby’s diaper.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“Your husband needs to take responsibility for his child and do his share. You look after her all day and I’m sure he’s more than capable of changing her nappy after work.”
“We all have to do some form of chores after a long day at work, a nappy on a child is just one of those responsibilities. Looking after a crying baby can be just as tiring as a full-time job.”
“I stayed home with our kids and my husband went to work. He handled 80-90% of baby stuff when he got home, because he knew I needed the break AND wanted to bond with his child.”
