I might note here as a Finn that this prudishness concerning the naked human body seems very American.
You’re not allowed to go to a public sauna in your swimming wear here. And if you’re a dad and have a small daughter, you’re obviously going to have her in the men’s changing room. And when I was a kid, I was in the women’s changing room with my mom.
Even at parties it’s not uncommon to have a mixed-gender sauna where everyone is naked. I’d say most commonly it’s women wearing a towel and men wearing nothing, or if it’s in a sauna near a beach/lake then people will have their swimwear on most times.
Still, just being naked isn’t considered sexual in any way. You can even see the non-sexual nature for about 50% of the people who are naked. (Vis-a-vis their lack of visible arousal.)
I was so confused by their comment that I totally misread it. Not only are they saying that most people wouldn’t change a baby’s diaper in public, but that it isn’t necessary sometimes. Like there’s always a place to do it discreetly when they’ve just had an explosion?
I’ve noticed through-out the years that a lot of people on forums like Reddit and Lemmy have very weird and unrealistic ideas about what having kids is like.
Why does it matter what kind of park if it doesn’t have a restroom and I didn’t drive? Is a national park without a restroom different from a city park without a restroom if I didn’t drive to it? I don’t even understand what you’re trying to say.
First you say I should have used a restroom or my car. Then when I explained to you that isn’t always possible suddenly it matters if it’s a national park or a city park? What?
I don’t think you are trying to figure out what I mean because I just explained to you what I meant and instead of responding to that, you berated me once again.
I think what you’re trying to do is find someone to constantly berate to make yourself feel superior and you found someone.
And don’t worry, I agree, you’re superior. It’s very easy to be superior to me.
That doesn’t change the fact that sometimes you have no choice but to change a diaper in public. The fact that you don’t have any children might make you realize you don’t understand that, but even though you are definitely better than me (and that is not sarcasm, most people are better than me), I still know more about this specific subject than you do.
So you acknowledge that I would, in fact, expose my child naked in public. And with good reason. And everyone could see her genitalia when I did.
Edit: Oh, sorry, misread. You think you can always make it to a bathroom? You have never had a baby.

Wow. You actually think there are babies that don’t do that. Amazing.

Ah yes, these special children who never have such accidents once they’re out of diapers.
If you are a parent, I truly fear for your inexperience.

It’s rude to change a baby’s diaper in public?
Is it rude to breast feed in public as well?
You have not ever had a baby if you think you can get to a bathroom or a car every time before an emergency happens.
And you not knowing what it’s like to take care of a baby explains a lot.

Why are you lying?
I literally wrote this:
Not all parks have restrooms. Not all parks with restrooms have working restrooms. Not everyone drives their car everywhere.
I suppose next you’ll tell me that people should only take their babies to parks that have working and open restrooms or drive to a park.
