He did a lot to make sure we had an amazing childhood, but changing diapers wasn't one of them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1694221 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 19:04:53 +0000 blackbird 1694221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. At least mom has said that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1694168 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 18:28:42 +0000 NavyRN2012 1694168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely not. But he was never involved and when they divorced (when I was 2) we barely saw him once a year. It's pretty sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1694058 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 16:52:00 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1694058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! so my mom says. he has conveniently forgotten how to change diapers now though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1694043 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 16:44:30 +0000 Running Elley 1694043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure. I don't remember him ever changing my little brother's diapers and he's never offered to change my kids (my mom does it all the time!) but he was/is very involved in other ways.</p> <p>Both my FIL and DH's stepdad have mentioned multiple times that they never changed diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1694022 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 16:30:59 +0000 coopsmama 1694022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, probably never. My mom has told me before that my dad wasn't hands on until we were potty trained. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1694010 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 16:21:42 +0000 birdofafeather 1694010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, my mom only BF me for a few months before going back to work, but she said that my dad always got me and changed my diaper and then brought me to her in the middle of the night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693882 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 15:31:32 +0000 yin 1693882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! My dad was very involved and took care of all diaper changes and feedings when he wasn't working. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693877 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 15:29:05 +0000 psw27 1693877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No clue.... probably? My dad is a great dad so I'm sure he helped out but he worked and my mom was a SAHM so I'm sure she did the lions share. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693872 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 15:26:56 +0000 artsyfartsy 1693872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't know for sure. If he did it was probably only a few based on what my mom says.</p> <p>My dad was an excellent dad btw...but is very old fashioned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693821 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 15:09:30 +0000 GrapeCrush 1693821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and how do I know this? He likes to tell the story of how he was changing my diaper one day when I pooped all over his leg, after he had just gotten out of the shower haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693798 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 15:00:40 +0000 MrsKoala 1693798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. My dad was just involved in doing the everyday stuff as my mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693770 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 14:50:17 +0000 IRunForFun 1693770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I imagine that with 3 kids he must have changed a few in his day, but I honestly don't remember. I'm sure he didn't change many, but I doubt he could have gotten away with NEVER changing a diaper... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693761 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 14:46:52 +0000 Sammyfab 1693761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Apparently my mom and dad reversed roles and my parents claim that my mom has never changed a poopy diaper in her life! And I have two sisters!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693749 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 14:43:07 +0000 Boheme 1693749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! He fixed our hair every day too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693708 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 14:29:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1693708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, he did. He refuses to change his grandkids diapers though because he said he already had to go through that six times lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693701 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 14:27:19 +0000 Synchronicity 1693701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he sure did. I'm the oldest of four so mom might have drowned in diapers if he didn't :) He was a very involved parent in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693697 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 14:26:03 +0000 wonderstruck 1693697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he was very involved. DH's dad wasn't though - DH works for his family business and his mom and dad don't understand why I want him around for at least a week after delivery. DH's mom is all, "Oh, you don't need him, it's better to just do everything yourself and have it your way!" This is not our first child, so I'm not sure why she still thinks she knows what her son and I will want better than we do.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693537 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:25:09 +0000 Anagram 1693537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know about the older kids (I'll have to ask my mom) buy I know he changed my little sister's diapers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693529 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:19:17 +0000 cmomma17 1693529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea if he changed diapers! I have memories of him doing other things though, like combing our hair (two girls). </p> <p>When my mom had my older sister she had PPD and my dad sent her and her best friend on a trip to Jamaica for a week! He must have changed diapers then, or maybe a family member came to help him with the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693518 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:15:31 +0000 lamariniere 1693518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he was and still is a very involved dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693473 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:03:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 1693473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad worked nights, and stayed home with us during the day. They had a 50/50 relationship. Mom always joked that when dad said he gave us a bath it was because of a blow out and he didn't know what else to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693467 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:01:59 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1693467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I remember him changing my sibling's diapers all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693455 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:58:53 +0000 pui 1693455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes he did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693452 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:57:50 +0000 looch 1693452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, and he never lets me forget it, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693313 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:26:04 +0000 twodoghouse 1693313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, although he worked long hours and my mom was a SAHM. My dad and FIL do change LOs' diapers too, although I always tell them I will change them instead. They usually say they will do it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693292 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:20:53 +0000 swurlygurl 1693292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hah, no, but he was in the Navy and pretty much not around until I was potty trained :(</p> <p>I'm pretty sure he changed my sister's diapers after he got out though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693279 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:17:14 +0000 Lozza 1693279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if my FIL changed his kids' diapers (I assume so), but he changes my kids' diapers just fine; he did the first at-home poopy diaper change for my older son! (Well, he and my mom together. The meconium diapers sometimes required two people!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-dad-change-your-diapers#post-1693276 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:16:07 +0000 Lozza 1693276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad claims he never changed a diaper for me or my sister, my mom thinks he must have changed one or two.<br /> He hasn't changed- he will happily watch my older son by himself, he'll feed him, play with him, etc. but the minute there's anything potty-related involved, my dad is OUT. It doesn't bother me that he does that as a grandparent, but if I were my mom I'd have killed him. </p>
