Where and when is it appropriate to change a baby?

Hi Bald Man

I recently started dating a girl, and there was a happening at her sisters house that grossed me out.  We were invited to a party at her house a couple weeks ago.   She has a young kid, maybe like a year old.

There were about 10 people hanging out in the living room area, eating snacks and drinking.  Her baby had a poopy diaper, and she changed it right on the floor in front of everyone!

I understand it is her house, but this was nasty.  People were eating!  Was this common/appropriate?

Sincerely,

Grossed Out

 

Dear Grossed Out,

Yes it is a bit gross, but please refrain from saying anything to your *NEW* girlfriend.  You will only piss her off.

What your girlfriends sister ideally should have done is take the baby to a the changing table an switch the poop diaper out away from the guests and food.  However, this is a bit dependent on who the guests are.  If you were the only non-close family member there then I don’t see much of an issue with her action.  If there were other people who are at an acquaintance level like you, then the changing should be private.

At the end of the day, she has every right to do this in her house as she pleases, and you have every right to go vomit in the bathroom, privately.

Sincerely,
Bald Man
