[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought changing diapers and so on would be really gross. I learned that when it's your own child, it's really not a big deal.[/quote] Ha! I never thought changing diapers would be gross (I did a lot of babysitting) but I didn’t realize how much I’d talk about poop and toots every day and that it would be totally normal dinner conversation with my husband. Pre-kids we were people who did not pass gas in front of each other and did not ever mention pooping or scents coming from the bathroom or anything remotely like that. We just pretended none of that happened. Now suddenly it’s not verboten and I’m not actually sure how I feel about it. (When it’s dh’s turn to console a wailing toddler after bedtime and return her to bed he thinks it’s funny to tell her that mommy can’t come upstairs because her tummy hurts—“lots of poops! Bad poops!”—because he knows I’ll hear it over the monitor. :roll: )[/quote]
