kids in diapers in public

yardsalequeen · 08-21-2003, 08:46 PM

Today in two different grocery stores I saw two different kids wearing diapers but no shorts or pants over their diaper. Am I the only one who thinks this is icky?? If's its a very young baby in a baby carrier I can almost understand - but I think after a point people should cover those diapers up! I couldn't help but notice that one of the kids in the diaper, was snacking on a cold hot dog that the parent had opened a package up for him. I kinda thought that was in poor taste too - I wouldn't want to use that cart after the kid with hot dog juice on his hands put his hands all over the cart handle etc.

Ick - especially the hotdog thing. Heck, the parent should at least rinse the sucker off first!! People are ghetto, though. I would never ever have taken Mackenzie out in just a diaper, no matter how young she was - but that's just me.

I can think of a number of reasons for a kid to be in diapers w/o pants. My son refused to wear pants for a while. Granted, if I had to go out, I held him down and forced pants on him, but it was a violent struggle and I wouldn't blame another parent for not going through that. I can also see it if the diaper leaked and messed up the kid's pants and the parent forgot to bring a spare and had to get the errands done. But as a rule kids need to be dressed.
As far as giving them food in the grocery store. That's nasty, rude and illegal if it hasn't been paid for. It that really what you want to teach your kids?

You people are two upity these days. While I agree that my kid was always (99%) dressed in pants or shorts, you gotta realize Southern Maryland is "in the country" kids are out playing in the yards and getting dirty and having fun like kids should be. They are not sitting in front of the freaking computer or the video game or the TV all clean and brain dead like a lot of "cityfied kids" these days.

As far as the hotdog thing #1 it is not illegal as long as the parent takes the opened pack of hotdogs to the counter and pays for it. #2 I do agree that a raw hotdog is not the best thing to give a kid that is still in diapers, My parents used to give me a box of animal cracker to eat while we grocery shopped and they always took the empty box to the register and paid for them, so no harm done really.

If you don't want to see little dirty kids in diapers in the grocery store then go somewhere closer to the city where people keep their bratty little Air Condition, spoiled brats clean, dressed and all prim and proper.

I don't think a baby should only be in a diaper either. I have the messiest 20 month old I've ever seen. I've taken him out in the summer in just his onsie but I don't care what he got on it it wouldn't come off till we got in the car at least. I don't do that often either. Usually only if it's later in the evening and we're going to the grocery store and I know he'll be asleep in the car when we get home. That way I can take him straight from the car and put him in bed.

I agree that a kid in diapers in public is okay, but giving them wet, sticky food is just nasty.

Kids should be dressed when they're in public. And Madman, no offense, but we're talking about kids in diapers here. I highly doubt they're sitting in front of a computer or video game, or that they've been playing outside all day. Unless the diapered kid in question is 5 years old, and that's another topic.

It's no crime to keep your child clean and presentable in public. It's good practice for their future.
