If you were out of a job and your kid needed diapers and your husband just left you, you would be so confused.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't expect babies to need so many diapers. Nobody told me they needed to be changed so often.
Changing a diaper is a lot like getting a present from your grandmother - you're not sure what you've got but you're pretty sure you're not going to like it.
One of the most important things to remember about infant care is: don't change diapers in midstream.
As a housewife, I feel that if the kids are still alive when my husband gets home from work, then hey, I've done my job.
I once knew a chap who had a system of just hanging the baby on the clothes line to dry and he was greatly admired by his fellow citizens for having discovered a wonderful innovation on changing a diaper.
I remember leaving the hospital - thinking, 'Wait, are they going to let me just walk off with him? I don't know beans about babies! I don't have a license to do this.' We're just amateurs.
He got up and there were both of us in our underwear and this kid goes through the whole thing again, all the closets, the bathroom, everything else and then he left.
Like many other women, I could not understand why every man who changed a diaper has felt impelled, in recent years, to write a book about it.
It's a different experience to be with your kids when your spouse isn't around.
Real men change diapers!
