Must be at least 20 million Americans changing them. You go into a pharmacy today there are dozens of diaper choices.

recently an ex of mine called me, he is now married with kids (twins) and he said he could (would) not change diapers and that this was providing contention on the homefront.
I thought this was really pretty bad - if you are a parent, is changing your child's diapers an option? I mean, shit is stinky and gross but this is just something you deal with in life, no?
Anyway, I always give myself a couple points when this guy calls: 1 for calling me, 1 for not being married to him, and 2 (I think) for not being married to someone who won't even change his babies diapers.
heh heh heh

I cleaned toilets for years as a janitor at a place which sells hospital supplies. Folks in wheelchairs can't always make it to the pot. Eventually, I became immune to terrible smells and cleaning up gross things. Hopefully, should I ever have kids I'll be able to deal with baby poops, which are so often not solid.

I've done it many times. It's not that big of a deal.

LOL. I know that feeling a little bit (just a little, not being permanently tethered to double babies).
I was thinking that I shouldn't presume just because I had been in position in earlier life to change diapies (younger siblings and babysitting) that if you had never done it that it would be a very natural thing to do. I do think for example that changing or cleaning an adult must be FAR different (I mean for sheer volume just for one) than changing little baby butts that I would be able to do that without some amount of cringing until I got used to it.

I've changed thousands of diapers.
Piece o' cake.
Most recently, our grandchildren. Two of them, five days a week, many times a day until they were potty-trained, since I was their daytime caregiver while our daughter and son-in-law worked.
Parents today have it made with the advent of disposable diapers. I well remember cloth diapers, diaper pins and plastic covers which my wife and I used with our three children. She did a load of wash on a daily basis to keep up with the dirty diapers, wash cloths, etc.
I just discovered that these hard-to-find items (diapers, pins, covers) are still produced and available in Canada. The landfills must be choked with disposable diapers and their packaging.

I've never changed a diaper. Even though I've never had kids,people are still sometimes surprised that I've never changed a diaper because I love playing with babies.
During college,I even worked a few hours a week in a day care center as part of a child psych course, but I still was able to charm my way out of diaper duty (no pun initially intended).

Changing 'em daily. My 10-month-old has the appetite of a whale, and she eats exclusively grown-up food, won't take goop from a spoon at all. As such, she has very mature stools for a kid her age. Been shat on by both kids at time or another.

My 7-year-old likes to play the "Would you rather" game. Today she asked me, "Would you rather brush my retainer every day or have a job where there were two big sacks of poop and there was a hundred dollar bill in each one and you had to dig and fish around in them both and you got to keep one of them and give the other on to your boss? But you're not allowed to wear gloves or anything else you don't usually wear."
My 12-year-old: "Whose poop is it and how long has it been sitting around?" [dogs, birds, and grandma's]
Me: "How long does it take to find the bills and how much do I need the money?" [about 10 minutes each sack, and I'm as rich/poor as I am now]

wow, that's really gross. LOL. I would imagine 10 minutes to feel like an eternity when you are searching through foreign crap. I think I'd go for the daily retainer duty.
do you know what always horrified me was imagining falling into the hippo pool at the zoo - it was so black and murky and yucky looking.

Actually, the poops during the breastfeeding phase are nearly odorless. It's only after babyfood that it starts getting gross.

I changed my kids' diapers even before their mother did. It never bothered me a whole lot. It was something that had to be done. However, when it came to that short period when the kids were out of diapers but still not so good at wiping their own ass and needed assistance, well, I didn't really care for that chore. I'll always remember hearing the dreaded, "Dad, I'm finished, could you come and wipe me!".
