Is it weird that my partner doesn’t want to change our baby girls diapers

I see fathers in the family rooms at shopping centres all the time changing their daughters nappy. It’s completely normal to change them.

My hubby is same way hahaha unless he has to he won't do it I think he has changes our girls only a like 5-10 times each and only really when he was left home alone with them and had no choice

He is using this excuse to don’t change the diaper.

Reminds me of the term “weaponized incompetence” 👀

I have friends who's husband's think the same but they have boys lol. It's just an excuse

It’s completely normal, my dad changed me and my sister’s diapers and he’s a baby boomer lol. He’s awkward around girl body talk nowadays as we’ve grown but it shouldn’t be awkward as babies and toddlers.

I had to walk through mine about cleaning all the folds and to go front to back. But there nothing sexual about your child and a diaper and also I don't believe in Mom does all baby related stuff. I'll take the smeller ones cause my sense the smell is worse so it doesn't bother me.

It's weird that he wont

Oh this is just ridiculous. Does he change her clothes and dress her or is that also down to you.. What about days when it’s just him and the baby and he has to change her nappy bc of an explosion poop? Is he just going to leave it?

I do understand both sides, but maybe you need to sit and show him and maybe just for him to do wet nappy’s so he isn’t having to wipe with pressure etc. in his head he may just be uncomfortable and with that

I think it’s so weird my dad use to say the same thing about my brother changing my nieces diaper , like when you’re not there is the baby just suppose to sit in a wet diaper all day? I’ll be pissed if our child gets a diaper rash due to ignorance. The laziness is crazy . My man helps me change our daughter idk if a man feels weird changing his daughters diaper he has some personal issues 😂

I’ve had 2 girls and he’s changed their diaper from the day they were born until they toilet trained, he helped me TT them and take them toilet until they could do it themselves. He needs to maybe talk to other Dads that have girls to know that his way of thinking is way outdated and there’s plenty of Dads out there changing their little girls diapers. This is why I like my hubby having Dad friends- they talk about anything and everything and sometimes he realises he’s doing well, other aspects he realises he’s gotta pull his socks up. Does he have anyone w lil girls he can talk to? That can put some different perspective in his head. Coz sometimes they listen to other men more than their wives, or it’s taken into their heads better, different to the way we say it

Omg my husband is the same I though I was the only one. We have a boy 3 and he has always change his diapers never an issue For Our daughter he did few times but tell me that he is inconfortable , afraid he would hurt her and don’t want to invade her privacy lol I didnt know what to think so I just gave up (Obviously if I’m not there he will change her )

@Reena you’re asking for trouble ? 🤮 people are so weird 😭🤣🤮

I find it weird that your mother agrees with him. From a woman's point of view, I see absolutely NOTHING wrong with a father changing his little girls diaper and am shocked that any other woman would think differently. To me, that's their warped minds that are making this an issue, cause it shouldn't even be a second thought. She's his daughter, got a dirty diaper? Change it. I dont understand how theres even a problem. Annoys me stuff like this. Seems like they're using it as an excuse to me x

That’s the biggest excuse I’ve ever heard. My partner always changes our baby’s diaper. He was awkward at first but he got a 101 lesson of how to at the hospital and he’s absolutely fine. If your partner doesn’t change his daughter, does he never spend time with her alone? And 4 months in?!?!? And mother must be old school cause there’s no way. That little moment is really precious when my partner changes her diaper to give me a smidge break. Because I’m a stay at home mommy. You need that diaper break, it makes a difference 🫶🏾😩

Terrible excuse. My partner changes our girls nappies all the time and has done since birth. X

Of course it's normal, you wouldn't see a mum telling a dad to change his boy every single time for the same reasons 🤦‍♀️ I think it's an excuse to get out of doing it, my partner always makes excuses in a joking way because he dislikes the poo while I just couldn't care less (I've been working at a nursery for 3 years so it makes no difference to me)

It's even more strange that he won't

Yeah I agree with the comments above, think he’s just finding an excuse to avoid doing it tbh
