Or the easier solution is to buy some pajamas…

It’s weird that parading her kid in a diaper in front of family friends is the hill OP wants to die on.

I'm just speculating as I'm not the OP, but I am the mother of multiple kids under 5. I seriously doubt the OP was 'parading' her kid around in a diaper. If she has multiples, then she probably got her DS changed for bed, and was busy with other child when he happened to walk out to where everyone was gathered.

I'm not the world's worst micromanager, but I certainly wouldn't notice if one of my kids slipped out of their room while I busy with someone else.

I personally feel like this should have been a non-issue, none of my kids would have felt the need to comment on anyone's undergarments, especially a little boy in a diaper. 8th grader girl should have just kept quiet on it. It doesn't sound like it was malicious per se, but it shouldn't have been brought up at all.[b] A 4 year old wearing a diaper for bedtime isn't at all unusual.[/b] [/quote]

[b]Except it was unusual for OP’s friends family. [/b]This would be unusual for the kids in my family and same for my husband’s family and many family friends who we’ve vacationed with. There are a people on this board who are committed to insisting that walking around in diapers a normal regular thing when it’s very out of the ordinary for most families. Does that mean I think a little kid should be shamed over it? Of course not! But his parents also have a responsibility treat it in a more private manner and not set up their kid to be embarrassed.
