This is totally weird right?

DH and I took LO to bass pro shop to meet Santa. As we were leaving I went in the restroom to change El and while I was getting ready to change him this woman can up and started talking to him. I hate when people do that because I don't like to change him in front of family let alone strangers. She kind of backed off a bit and I got the wipes and a diaper out and opened his dirty diaper. Then there she was over my shoulder again and she goes, "oh honey can I finish changing him?"

....

I was like, "uh...no I got it." and she says, "you sure?"

Yes lady, I'm sure. What the hell is wrong with people? She stayed the whole time then held the door open for me and DH was waitin outside. We hightailed it outta there. She freaked me out. So weird!

Who wants to change a random kid's diaper?  So odd.  And who knows what she would have done had you said, "oh sure!"

I think it is SO odd that she would ask to change his diaper... but just as odd that you don't like to change his diaper in front of others, especially family. It's a baby wee-wee... what's to hide?

 And I think it's odd that you found it odd enough that you had to say something. Some people don't like having random strangers all up in their baby's business.

But because it's Christmas Eve, I'll let it slide. Wink

Maybe I shouldn't have said something, but don't you find it odd? Nothing against OP, promise... just found it odd that she said she didn't like to change her LO in front of family. Maybe I don't have enough decency, but would never think of taking a baby into private to change their diaper.

I'm uncomfortable with it mostly because I don't want him to be uncomfortable about it later. Maybe it's odd of me. Lol! I just can't help but to think of him being embarrassed later because everyone in our extended family has seen him naked. I think it stems from me being raised in a very modest family.

Totally makes sense, just never ever heard of anyone thinking this way and found it fascinating... no judging at all (even though it probably sounded like I was). 

Wanna know something weird/twisted? My mom was only 19 when she had me. My H is 9 years older than I am, meaning my mom is 9 years older than my H. When she was 11 she babysat him (small, small town & her sister married my H's uncle) and changed his diaper... therefore, my mom saw my H's privates before I did. :o/

You know what's really weird? I just had the same thing happen to me yesterday! Was changing my son in a rest stop bathroom and an older woman was next to me washing her hands. She says "oh, he's a cutie. Do you need help? I just washed my hands. I could do that for you".

Seriously? I said "I'm his mother. I've got this. But thanks anyway"

Whackadoos!

I never cared about changing DS in front of anyone, but now that he has a little personality and is like this whole little person and less like blob, I feel more like he wouldn't appreciate me just showing everyone his body. But then he rolls away from me, naked and laughing, hamming it up, so I guess he doesn't care but I'm now thinking "Oh B, have you no shame?!" Hahaha!

That is so crazy and bizarre. I am the same way about changing DD, so you aren't the only one. I don't find it that odd. Odd is wanting to change a stranger's baby, and crazy is offering too!

Uhh, right?!?

My girls are no longer in diapers.  But if they're wearing dresses in church, it is my job to teach them that is not ok to flash their undies to the old man (however kind!) in front of us.  If there is an option, I'm a bit lost as to why someone wouldn't choose to keep their baby's privates private.

Well goodness, that's different in my mind. When she said she tried to change her LO in private when she was around family... that's what got me. I just pictured me changing Hadley around my family, which I do all.the.time. without giving it a second's thought, I can't imagine my mom  & sister being in the living room and feeling the need to change her in private.

When she is older and potty trained, of course I will teach her modesty (I'm actually a very modest person) no matter who is around, family or not. Right now she is just a baby, ya know?

Yes, that is a good point. I never just ripped Jack's pants off in public, but I remember doing a quick little change on the couch at my parents' house while we were visiting.
