Do you thank your partner for changing your child’s nappy?

I usually make him get the poopie ones, since I'm the breastfeeding. Then I thank him sometimes because he ends up doing most diapers. 😅

Well when it could’ve been me, but he took the initiative I’ll thank him lol, but usually no because it’s been mainly his task. We made a lil deal that I’d be in charge of newborn pops mainly until they turned into stinky toddler poops. Once our son was over the age of 6 months he started mainly taking over 😂 I’m also pregnant now with our second and have been sick so he takes most control now

Absolutely no way 🤣🤣 is this a serious question?

I do. But my husband also thanks me for doing it. It’s if one of us stops the other and takes over the task that we say thank you.

I do if it was supposed to be "my turn" and he does it anyways or if he changes a really nasty one so I didn't have to

Why the hell would I thank him for doing such a basic duty for his own child lol

@R 🪬 do you wanna be acknowledged or thanked for your efforts as a parent? I do.

I do when he does the middle of the night change. To me, it's more just a polite acknowledgement. Our kids are his too, so he absolutely should be changing them. But I also thank him for making dinner or other household tasks he also should do. He thanks me when I do simple household chores too. I think it's just our way of acknowledging and appreciating each other.

@Jenneca I'm acknowledged every single day by him in so many ways and vice versa, he makes me feel like I'm the best mother out there. Funnily enough I just asked him as he's sat next to me, and he said why would I thank him for doing that. But I understand what you're saying though!

I don't thank him for nappies specifically. But I do thank him for being a kind and supportive partner who shares the burdens of the household with me. Sometimes that means acknowledging the things he's done. He does the same for me; we both thank each other for the effort we each put into the relationship. It's just part of making the other person feel appreciated. But I don't specifically thank him after every chore, because I think that's a bit silly and suggests that each one is a favour or smth.

We both often thank each other for doing normal stuff even if it's stuff we're supposed to do anyway

@Carolyn you worded that perfectly.

unless my husband is at work it’s always him who changes the diapers. and no i don’t thank him for doing his job as a parent

We always thank each other cuz that’s one less we have to do

No he barely does it but when he does no I don’t I honestly prefer to change their diapers anyhow and ever since I changed to cloth he doesn’t know how to lol or that’s how he likes to act anyhow 🫠
