Changing diapers at a friend's house

[Anonymous]

It’s bad manners. I always carry plastic bags and bag up the dirty diaper, then dump it into the outside trash can if I’m in someone’s house and they don’t have a diaper pail.

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.

Your friend’s here, OP.

Nope just think it’s not a big deal. I understand being freaked out because she doesn’t have kids but it’s a small thing in the scheme of things. Don’t shame someone for making a simple mistake.just take out the trash and Tell them next time what you’d like them to do with it. It’s life, sh** happens. Not everyone has the same manners or background or foresight to know that something that’s normal to most people might bother someone else. If you want to be friends don’t sweat the small stuff, just talk to her next time she’s over. Not worth losing a friend over

NBD! Do you know how many diapers kids go through in a day? She was probably trying to spare you the visual and get it done quickly. OP good luck when you have kids. Wait for the good ole car seat blowout/projectile vomit on the highway. Are you seriously posting on a board about this?!

I said I don't have kids but I was living with my baby nephew before so I know what you're saying.
so I just wanted to know about the manner that people with kids think.
I know the manner I think is not someone's else because I bring even the pads to home when I'm on my period at friend's house.

Its human fecal matter in her KITCHEN TRASH CAN. Would you put your dog's poop in someone's trash can - let alone the one next to where they prepare food?

The friend is disturbing. She should have asked and then walked out to an outdoor trash can.

lol at me guess you have no kids ….

OP, it’s fine and normal and it’s your friend so if it bothers you then tell her where to throw it. I’m assuming it’s one of the only available trash cans and bathrooms cans don’t get emptied as frequently. She should have bagged it sure but again it’s in the trash not that it’s on your counter.

Also I’ll gently suggest you find friends with no kids, if my friend did a post like this on dcum about me, I’d drop then you’re clearly triggered by anything kids.

And PS some of us aren’t rich to afford diaper trashes so we do use our bathroom and. Kitchen (gasp!!) trash for bagged diapers.

I don't have kids. and one of my new friends threw it in my kitchen's trashcan without asking me.
so I didn't even know till I open and smell it.
She'll come here and I'm sure she'll do it again so I don't know what to say...

In the kitchen? Ugh. Why are tacky people such pigs?

Wait…are you saying when you visit friends you pack up your pads and bring them home? That’s a bit much.

Next time she visits, if her kid needs a diaper change, just offer to take the diaper out yourself. “I got it, I’ll run this out to the trash”. NBD.

You bring home pads?! I mean I dont leave them out in the open but i usually wrap them in TP and use a trash w a lid.

This is about more than just diapers.

And no - people w kids are not bringing home multiple dirty diapers after being out. You find a trash and dispose. Again its not even a blip on a parents day

^ totally agree, don't have kids, you folks are easily triggered by mess - this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Asking your friend to take poop home is weird when you have perfectly serviceable trash bins available. Offer an extra bag or direct her to your outdoor bin if you prefer, OP.

(and I’m not OP’s friend because I use cloth diapers and the poop goes in the toilet, diapers in a wet bag)

Gross.

I would throw it out at a friend's house but personally I would ask the friend what trash can I should use (and offer to take it outside to the bin if poop). A lot of my friends have babies/toddlers so I just use their diaper pail if they have one.

+1 if you know you want it in the outside trash just take it out.

There’s no polite way to say “take that disgusting thing home” lol
