It's not that difficult.
By avoiding diaper changes you've missed out on a lot of giggles and tummy tickles. ETA: Saw your update, after 7 I might feel the same way

Baby diapers are a breeze, unless they blowout the sides like stated earlier. Slide the front half of diaper down and scrape off majority of it then press it to back half. Wipe or two and roll it all up and hit the 3 pointer from in the livin room. Easy peazy

I was happy with 2 kids. Wifey wanted a 3rd later. I said ok if I don't have to change poop diapers. That was my one condition. I have to of course if she is gone as i will watch all the kids so she can go out. I haven't changed a single poop diaper though if she has been around. You bargained wrong. Mine was never having to wake up in the middle of the night and tend to a crying baby. She shouldered 100% of the responsibility in that regard on the second one, and decided I wasn't getting any better on #3. So she had her tubes tied after #2.
BTW, modern diapers will hold a shitload of...well, shit. It surprised me every time she came home and changed one. The package says "12-18 lbs" and they're not lying. Them sumbitches will hold every ounce of that, if you immobilize the little booger. |

I changed my son's diaper before before his mother had fully recovered from the c-section drugs.
Best to figure out how to do it fast early on because the first few aren't so toxic. Those are where you learn speed. |

I had to learn how to change diapers on a 2.5 lb baby covered in tubes and wires through two port holes on the side of her incubator. From day 21 to 52 I went the hospital every night from 6-6 and held her most of the night, I got pretty good at diaper changes before she came home.
Now I try to avoid poopy diapers but I will change them. |

Our first child was a girl born back in 1979. Back then we used these things called cloth diapers. I was changing her and dropped this thing called a diaper pin. I put one hand on her legs to keep her from moving / falling off the changing table while I looked for the pin. While bent over looking for said pin, I felt a warm sensation creeping across my hand. Yup, you know where I'm going..... I kid her about it from time to time. She has four kids of her own and her own stories at this point.
Diapers - my experience was that as soon as I got my kids out of them, my parents went in to them, my parents have passed and soon I'll be in them. Life is is not is funny |

I changed all 3 of my kids diapers 20+ times before my wife ever did a single one (c section recovery). Kid poop is fine. Who cares.
This thread is sorta sad. I always wondered why the father got screwed so hard on divorces. Never changing a diaper isn't going to help the custody disputes. + number 3 gives the biggest smiles after getting changed. More than makes the poop worth it. |

Why do people equate changing a diaper with being a good father? The kid won't remember who wiped his ass. The man works and provides the diapers. The woman changes the diapers. It's not rocket science.
