Changing diapers at a friend's house

[Anonymous]

This is typical to put in nearest trash unless host tells otherwise. Next time pay attention to when she changes the diaper, give her a bag for her to put it in, then offer to throw it away for her and put it wherever you’d like. Can’t expect her to take it home with her that’s even worse.

Carrying around bloody tampons and pads is revolting. It’s just nasty. Way worse than putting a diaper in the trash. Just when I thought this site couldn’t get stranger…

Put that diaper and bloody maxi and tampon in the trash regardless of what your hostess thinks.

Some of you are saying that "Just address it". again, I didn't even know she changed a diaper and used my trashcan. then how could I tell her?

And I'm not trying to insult her or something like that. she isn't even new mom so I know that's how she has been doing and if that's normal for you guys, I thought I just need to let her do it since I had no idea how people with kids at a friend's house do.

I also understand the opinion "trash is trash" but I guess nobody likes smelly trashcan? well, I'll just tell her to put it in the outslde bin if I get to tell her.
Thank you everyone!!

This sounds reasonable. Take the trash out after she leaves. Or proactively tell her where you want diapers to go.

It is normal for some parents to just put in a kitchen trash as a guest without thinking, but I think it is more common to ask the hos

Next time show her where you keep the extra bags so she can double bag it or keep some gallon or 2 gallon ziplock on hand for her. Just take the trash out when she leaves- it’s just a diaper, no big deal..Or if you have the means and she comes over often get a diaper genie for her to use at your place.

Totally normal to have that in a kitchen trash can? Gross.

And yes, I do the same with pads and tampons. I keep little bags in my purse.

It’s how I was raised and how my mother has always taught me.

Yeah, that's how I was raised too.
I thought that I'm crazy since I've seen the comments here.

+3. Me too! I would never leave a dirty diaper or bloodied sanitary pad in a host’s trash can! You wrap it and tuck it in your bag to dispose of at home! Further I have never had a friend/guest leave either in my trash either!!

I know you're trying to prove you're the politest person around but if I knew any of my friends were walking around with bloodied santitary pads in their purses I would recommend therapy. What do you think bathroom trash cans are for? What did OP think happened to the diaper? This is pathological. It's trash. Trash goes in trash cans. If you have strong preferences about which can (inside vs outside) then use your big girl voice and state them. Judging people you invited into your home for having the nerve to put trash in your trash cans is literally insane.

You’re wrong, PP. You never leave anything that has an odor in someone else’s trash can. Your friends are too polite to tell you that you’re a pig.

Your pads should not have an odor. You need a whole team of doctors, apparently.

The iron in blood always has a scent. Its how animals track victims idiot.

Better to be gross than rude
