Ashton Kutcher once posted about it. “Why isn’t there a nappy change table in the men’s room?” And now a daddy blogger echoed this call.
Clint Edwards couldn’t stand it any longer — having no place to change his little one’s nappies.
In a post in his Facebook page, No Idea What I’m Doing: A Daddy Blog, he wrote about how he wanted change in his church, and by change, he means having a place to ‘change’ his kid. He started off by saying that changing nappies is not just the job of mothers.
“I dislike placing the full burden of changing every single diaper on my wife even more. This whole parenting gig is a partnership,” he wrote.
Yet, Clint says everywhere he goes, “there is no changing table in the men’s room” and so he settles to just changing his daughter on a “nasty bathroom floor”, or just asking his wife to do the pooey job, or just change his child at the parking lot.
Although Clint recognises that not all ladies’ rooms have a nappy change table, but he said that in his experience, “more often than not, the ladies room has one, and the men’s doesn’t.”
So, one day, Clint brought this up with some people at his church that doesn’t have a nappy change table in its men’s room, too. “I mentioned my frustration. I was that irritating dad who asked for change.”
Then one day, he saw this in the church’s men’s room.
“I show up one Sunday to this.
“I’m calling this a win!
“So it’s a small change. It’s one men’s room out of a million. But for me, as an active father with a desire to care for my child, it was a serious victory,” he said.
