Winchester Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 So, as many of you know (Or have forgotten and are about to be reminded of the fact), my sister is pregnant. Which is great news. However, before she was even pregnant, she informed me one of my jobs as an uncle when she one day has a child will be to change diapers when I'm around (Which I'm more than happy to do; she is after all going to be very busy and exhausted a lot). However, I do not know how to change diapers. In fact, despite my absolute love for babies (It's pretty serious. I pretty much jump up and down and squee at the adorableness of a baby whenever one is near me), I have never even held a baby before (Something Emily and I have decided I should save for Benedict when he is born). Could some of you fine ladies (And gentl-er... rather gruff men) of Phatmass help me out? Tell her 'no'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 How you gonna do And Benedict will be my nephew, therefore I will be able to hold him and change his diapers once he is around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Tell her 'no'. But I'm such a nice uncle that I will gladly change diapers for her even if she never asked me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaTherese Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 FYI, I have never changed a diaper. Or done much other than feeling awkward and wishing I knew what to do when around babies. So my post is contributing basically no help as far as the actual question. But I just wanted to add that I agree with the post below wholeheartedly and am glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. No, see, I'm aware that Google exists. I just prefer talking to people and getting information from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a really talkative person, so I'll take talking to people (Even if it is through text) over learning something out of a book any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Did she ask, or tell? It was more of a command. But, she's had me whipped since I was four, so I didn't argue with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are acceptable reasons to obey certain women. This is not one of them. Man up and make her ask. Then tell her 'no' a few times in order to make your point.

No. Being whipped by your sister is a scheme to keep you single. I'm trying to correct the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 No. Being whipped by your sister is a scheme to keep you single. I'm trying to correct the problem. But don't women want a man that will do what they ask him to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winchester Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 But don't women want a man that will do what they ask him to? Yes, but not one that will do what his sister says. And that sort of thing occurs naturally in the relationship after you get married. If you start off all subservient, you'll be miserable and emasculated and bitter. That's what happened to mikolbe.

If you keep listening to people who are not me, you're going to get all sorts of bad information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
