You need to send this memo to the birds, insects, and small mammals that crap on that table nonstop.

Back in my early 20s, before kids and serious relationships, I had sex at night on a few picnic tables.

Gross I know, but young lust knows no bounds.

Only a slut would do this. Once a slut, always a slut.

This is no big deal to me. At all. Outdoor tables get all kinds of dirty from animals, probably kids climbing up on them, bird poop, dirt and dust etc etc. They are not food safe and shouldn’t be treated as such. We bring a light blanket to lay over the table and eat off plates.

+1 DCUM has taught me that people are nuts. Outdoor spaces aren't sanitary, and neither is your lawn. If you are concerned, bring a table cloth, wipes, or something else. There are germs on that table, regardless of diaper changes.

+2. I like all the bizarre takes on issues I didn’t even know existed.

There are a lot of responses here that indicate to me that people are confused about how diapers are changed. What is going on in these cases where poop is being smeared all around baby, parent, and table? Lol

I wouldn’t even bat an eye at this.

What do you think goes on, on those picnic tables at night OP? Small mammals and insects are crapping on them, teenagers may be having sex on them.

That's why you always put down a tablecloth.

…bish, it’s a public picnic table. You think a baby’s butt is the worst thing that’s been on there?

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAAAAAAAA! Good one, OP.

+1. Someone here referred to changing a diaper as “putting your kids genitals on display” and “smearing your kids poop everywhere”. This person has either never changed a diaper or is doing it very, very wrong.

+1. It's not your personal table, OP. If you're that neurotic, bring your own folding table.

I’m the OP, and yep... never eating on a playground changing table again.

Bye Felicia

Wow. This is so two years ago. I'm embarrassed for you. Do try to keep up.

You need to get off the conservative blogs.

Tsk tsk. You used the word mother, which has been banned by the current US congress. You're just a birthing person now.

Congress doesn't BAN words. You're an imbecile. Toddle off to Parler 2.0.

Yes i do. I also change them on the couch upon which you sit

Oh, you're a pig. OK. Thanks for letting us know.

Qanon has entered the thread

I'm a liberal and I can't get on board with the birthing person BS. Unfortunately that's not a conspiracy theory.

Once again, "liberal" (yeah, right), Congress does not BAN words. Go stand outside Congress, bring your mom or a mom you know with you and loudly call them a mother (do not add the obscene second half you may be considering -- just "mother"). You will not be arrested. Grow up.

Is it any more sanitary or safe to put your baby on the ground?

Other people don't EAT off the ground. God, you people cannot be this dim.

Hint: squirrels, birds, etc have teeny tiny animal brains with no critical thought. They are incapable of thinking "hmm, this is a surface for people to eat food. Perhaps I won't deposit sh*t here, when there's another choice 2 feet away of changing the diaper on the bench, which already exists not for food, but for butts." Apparently some entitled mommies have the critical thinking ability of a tufted titmouse.

This thread is weird.

Fwiw, if you have a back injury (like me) I cannot get up and down off the ground very easily and that includes kneeling and bending.

As long as you use a mat (or bring a table cloth before you eat) I don't think it matters at all if you use a changing table.
