teen???????

Never too early for beer. Sadly I wasn't joking. Dad will save poopies for me. If my father is here, he will supervise the 10 year old changing them. My ex will volunteer to watch Pipsqueak and then if he poops, ex will make his wife change the diaper.

I do know many men who have no stomach for any bodily fluid/substance that's not their own...

Honestly, if we collected every toddler's Level 5 Biohazard diaper and used it as a weapon we'd have world peace in about oh, 25 minutes?

Men know how to change poopy diapers??!! I'm going to have to have a talk with my father and my DH. DH will change them if he's alone. Dad will find someone else.

One day I left my son with his dad while I went to the mall and when I got home dad had our then 1 year old son in the shower hosing him down clothes and all. I never asked him to change a poopy diaper after that.

With my son, I'd say it would take 5 minutes.

He probably did it on purpose just so he'd never have too.

We are currently trying to potty train. Last night, son had a poopy diaper and I decided that it was a good time to go and take our shower. I got the poop off of him, he kept telling me POOP. I thought that meant that he had and I kept telling him that I got it cleaned up. Realized that I had forgot my jammies and ran to get them. Pipsqueak let a lone rolly go on the floor, stepped in it and ran around the bathroom. It was a fun night.

too funny!

One time my DD was giving lil'blue a bath...All of a sudden I hear blood curdling screaming...I thought lil'blue must be hurt or something...I get to the bathroom and DD, with a HORRIFIED look on her face, is pointing to the tub.
Lil'blue is sitting there with a S...eating grin on her face surrounded by a dozen or so "floaters".

I laughed and bent over and picked them up and dropped them in the john. DD nearly vomited. I will never forget the look on her face.

HAHA! Oh now that IS funny!!

I have just dealt with a previously-unseen Level 11 biohazard diaper (well, it was a pull-up, but you get my point). My eyes are still watering and my nose has no lining. It was the result of 2.1/2 year old girl child + deviled eggs + boiled cabbage.

I.
Kid.
You.
Not.

Of course he stands a good chance of having some visitation in his own home.

However, grandma...do remember back to when you had your first child, and imagine how you would have felt about someone taking your newborn out of your house regularly for visitation? Don't just blame it all on the grandparents, get inside the mother's head a little bit too.

Yes, I do remember my first child, I had to do this very same thing. I was older, but I did agree to his dad taking him for day visits when he was an infant, because I knew that my son bonding with his father was in my son's best interest. I did not like it, could not WAIT until he got home in my arms... but my son deserved it. After all, it should always be what is best for your child. It was not his fault that me and his father were not together and what was best for him was my #1 main concern and still is. So you see I have been in her head, I feel for her, she is a scared teen who is now a mother. I thank GOD that she has parents who is helping her and is helping take care of this baby. What I don't agree with is that they are taking control and acting as if it is their baby. I also know that they did not have to agree to letting him see the baby a couple hours a week that they do not have to do that, but this baby should be everyone's 1st priority. And he deserves two parents, even if they are young. I just hope that this is over soon, establish paternity and get on with loving this baby and trying to work in HIS best interest.

Believe it or not, the way her parents are behaving is not uncommon at all. Its kind of human nature kicking in. They believe they are protecting their minor child and her offspring...just as you believe that you are protecting your minor child and his offspring.

That is why getting the legalities in place is so important. Then everyone is protected.

Yes, I see that.. and like I said, I am thankful that my son knows that the baby is being taken care of, that said, they are very upset with me and my husband and my son because they wanted everything to be handled with out Lawyers involved, they do not see why we could not work everything out between our two families. I however, kinda, stood up and said no, that he needed to be the babies father in every way and that included on paper. Which then meant a DNA because our lawyer said she would not represent us without a DNA and I agree. It all went south when my son expressed that he wanted a DNA and to establish paternity /visiation in a court of law. The break up, them stopping him from going to Dr. appts everything. But I still feel that I did the right thing by guiding him in that direction... right?

I think he did the right thing. Of course, again the human nature thing, when court papers start appearing in the mail or getting served, it does tend to "cool" relationships a bit. If son is able to have any amicable contact with mom, he can simply mention he's not doing this to make things difficult for them, that he really wants to work things out with her around the baby, but he simply is not seeing enough progress...but he hopes that they will eventually be able to work these things out on their own to where both parents are significantly involved in the babies life in a healthy way.
