I have a small area (patio) but the location is not safe for the boy (if he is naked). My patio is facing the community swimming pool. |
| You're an awful person, OP. You should not be around children and never have a child in your home. |
I asked the mom what happened the past 8 days. She said the rashes was gone in the weekends but came back when the boy go to the daycare. She said daycare took the kids to the park twice a day. Morning 8 to 10 am and evening from 4 pm to 6 pm. There (at the park) they didn't/will not change his diapers. Well ~

"Funny is she now telling me to change the boy diapers every hour and to let the boy naked for few times while he at my place! I told the mom that I cannot do that."
No wonder you guys get angry with me! I cannot let the boy naked in my house not that I CANNOT change his diapers every hour. English is not my first language. Sorry. |
| Why can't you let him go naked in the privacy of your house? He's a baby with a rash. I think you need to choose another profession. |
No way I will let 2 years old naked in my house. Hygiene issue here. |
Just stop OP. It's not a hygiene issue. You just don't want to do it, I hesitate to call anyone lazy but you sure fit the bill...along with all of your excuses. Please just tell the mother that you can no longer take care of her son, you are both failing him massively. She can't remove herself from the situation but you can since you are obviously unwilling to care for him properly. |
Oh just stop . OP is not in the wrong for wanting the kid to keep a diaper on in her house. Your bad attitude is because OP is using limited English. |
Um no. She can change his diaper ever 30 minutes to a half hour and put a cream on. She does not need to let him go without a diaper in her house. |
|
Pp, 30 minutes and a half hour are the same amount
of time. |
My attitude is because OP is giving an excuse for every suggestion at ways that she could be proactive, yet chastising the mom for doing the same things she is. Read again, I am faulting both OP and the child's mother for being bad caregivers. Her poor written English is hardly a factor, nice try though. |
People asked me why I am not comfortable with a naked boy in my house - so i gave them my answer. I dont have training pants, my floor is wood floor, my small patio facing the pool, hygiene etc. As for change the boy diapers I dont have any prob with it. |
| My daughter was very quick to get diaper rash, all it took was for one caregiver to leave the diaper on a little too long. OP, I don't see anything wrong with the mom asking you to do what you suggested to her. I also don't understand how you can be a caregiver if you are not willing to get pee/poo on your floor?? Setting aside naked time, lots of potty trained toddlers/little kids have accidents, which will result in pee and poop on your floor. |
| 11:56 here. My daughter is newly potty trained, our floors are wood (and very nice, too) and I have no problem cleaning her pee and poop off of the floor. I don't know why you're making such a big deal out of wood floors. |
| If you don't want pee or poop on the floor, invest in plastic shower curtains. They can go on the floor just before he gets there, you can easily clean up any messes, and then they can be folded away until the next week. Ask the mom to bring cream next time, and at least 6 plain white onesies. There's no reason a two-year-old can't wear a onesie on the patio or in the house, just put a shower curtain down over the brick, and clean him up when he pees or poops. |
