New Dad Is Completely Grossed Out By His Baby's Diaper

EVERY man in my life acts like THIS when it comes to diaper changing. Why?

I've never met - as far as I can tell - a single woman who had issues like that. Save for 'women are superheros' (a known fact) WHY are men mostly just incapable of handling a bit of ick?

I remember walking into the nursery at church eons ago to find a father changing his daughter's diaper with diaper wipes stuffed IN his nose. good grief!
 
I (we) don't have kids, but I have a best bud who is a single dad, brings his kid over, yada, etc.

I've helped change him. Who gives a crap (no pun intended). I'd rather that then he scoot around and leave his mess on the floor.

Selfish reasons, maybe?
 
Well I have learned from taking care of my kitties and changing their litter boxes that everything on this Earth has to poop.

Even beautiful kitties.
 
I've never seen (or heard of) anyone - man or woman - spewing because of a dirty diaper. The dude just has some kind of psychological hangup with ****. Maybe he fell into a port-a-potty when he was a child, y'know, something like that.
 
No clue, I never had a problem with it way back when. Then again, I'm the one who has to deal with all the icky stuff, animals bleeding, cats hairballing, I clean up all the bodily fluids and it doesn't bother me a bit.

Shows pragmatism.

I wear a snorkling mask when peeling and chopping onions. Looks absolutely daft and gets everything from unfettered merriment to sarcastic eye rolling headshakes.

But I don't have running eyes and nose, others do.

But the guy cited has bigger problems than aversion to diapers, methinks.
 
Firstly, most people find handling human excrement to be pretty unpleasant. Personally I was placed in the position of dealing with Cloth diapers (ex was a tree hugging nut job), and needed to scrape the mess off before soaking and then washing. The only reason I did not have a big problem with it was due to the fact I was the midwife for the birth(s), and after seeing THAT baby poop was a walk on the beach.

The guy has issues, but likely diapers are the least of them.

I know a guy who allegedly can't handle vomit or poop because he'll throw up. Had two kids of his own and never changed one diaper. Friend of mine married him 8 years ago, and he tried his nonsense on her with his grandbabies. He just "couldn't." Same guy who routine guts deers and elk. :roll: :roll: :roll:

I grew up in a moderately large family. By the time I was a father, dirty diapers were not a new thing to me. Rarely ever had a problem with it, aside from a few really uber-nasty poops.
 
My spouse never had trouble changing dirty diapers. Guess I got lucky. But our kids were potty trained at 2. He wasn't real keen on cleaning up puke but neither was I. Every time one of the kids started vomiting, I was right next to them with a case of dry heaves.

It's simple and obvious; they want to get out of diaper duty, and give drama-queen performances so the wife will just become exasperated enough to take over. :)

Baby woman work! (grunting appropriately)

Man work hunt, provide, protect nest.

Woman work in nest. Baby icky, man no do! :)
 
I don't think I have ever seen a father respond that way in real life to a diet diaper. Certainly not me, my brother, or my friends. It was funny, but I think it was probably exaggerated. After all, he was recording himself.

I think mothers and females are different than men and fathers. Not a belief in line with the zeitgeist, but whatever. ..and I think women somehow shrug off the nasties of caretaking in a way men do not as a whole. Evolution? God's design? I dunno. ..

That said we are NOT all like this guy. I raised two daughters. Changed a lot of ****ty diapers. Occasionally sang songs to them as I changed them about how bad their little butts smelled today. ;) I did fine. I never had any huge problems.

But I do think, for some reason, it was always somehow more routine for their mom. It didn't seem to nast her out as much.
 
I never had a problem with changing diapers. But there was this one episode, when my daughter was playing quietly in her crib, that we found out what she was so enthralled about. She had defecated into the disposable diaper as usual, only this time she got the poop out and was having a wonderful time playing with it.

She was covered head to toe, along with the crib, the mattress, and the wall next to the crib. ****-eating grin took on a whole new meaning to me that morning. I could not deal with that situation, so I called Dr. Mom, who managed to actually clean everything up, just like new.

I knew right then that the odor associated with fecal matter is something that we have been taught not to like. It didn't bother my baby girl at all.

Face it.... men are much, much more sensitive than women. We just act tough.

On a similar note... I always thought this scene was hilarious:

I've never seen any of my male friends or relatives with kids act like that with a dirty diaper. I certainly never have. I mean yeah, it's unpleasant and I try to pass them off on my wife when I can. But she does the exact same thing, and I change my fair share.

Maybe it came from growing up on a farm. I've been in contact with enough animal poop over the years that it doesn't bother me a lot.
 
I changed at least half of the dirty diapers of both of my boys.

I just always figured that **** happens.
 
You know I have been thinking about this. As I mentioned in a previous post it is true IMO.

That said.

One fart.

One fart before going to sleep and my wife acts like I took a dump on her pillow.

Something contextual is going on here. ;)
