Dirty Diapers and Mother-in-Law Criticism

When you have a baby you have dirty diapers and it is your job to keep the baby clean and dry. However, if you have a mother-in-law that can't be pleased then you can be criticized for doing just that.

It was Sunday morning and we was going to church. I dressed the baby complete with a fresh diaper and then he dirtied himself right before we left. I changed his diaper and we went to church. It wasn't long after the service started that the baby started crying. I checked him and his diaper was wet so me and my husband went out to change his diaper again. The church was a large room with two children Sunday school rooms partitioned out and the only bathroom was an outhouse. Luckily a next door neighbor knew us and allowed us to come to their house for such emergencies.

While changing his diaper he did what happens with boys- he made a golden waterfall. I covered him with the new diaper to prevent his waterfall from getting everything wet. After he was done I put dry clothes and another clean diaper on him and disposed of the two wet ones before going back into the church.

After church, my mother-in-law asked us why we was gone from service so long. I explained about the waterfall and then mildly complained about going through a dirty diaper and two wet ones within an hour.

Her answer? She said I was lying about changing his dirty diaper because he wouldn't have wet himself so soon after pooping. When I asked her how she got that she said that she didn't pee after pooping- only before!
