Land of Pull ups - Round 1!

DING DING DING!!!

Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet’s get ready to ruuuuuuuuuuuuumblllllllllllllllllllllleeee!!!

In this corner we have one soiled pull up donned toddler!

And in this corner we have a daddy experiencing pull ups for the very first time!

Place your bets now folks, this will be a good one!!!

(I missed this in real time but was briefed immediately upon arriving home last night! So I give you the conversation that took place!)

Hubbie: Pull ups suck!

Me: Why?

HUbbie: They cause a mess!

Me: ?

Hubbie: She had poop in her diaper!

Me: So?

Hubbie: It made a huge mess!

Me: Well how’d you take it off?

Hubbie: I pulled it down and the poop streaked down her leg as I pulled it!

Me: (Hysterical laughter ensues for minutes on end!)

Me: (Finally able to compose myself!) Hubs, you’re supposed to rip the sides of the pull up.

Hubbie: (mumbles incoherently under his breathe)

Me: Also, it’s called a “pull-up”, not a “pull-down”!!!

Hubbie: (continues to mumble incoherently under his breathe!)

I had this same problem with pull-ups! How was I supposed to know? I even changed at least 50% of the diapers…maybe more when I was home.

They should have a big sign on the pull-up indicating the “rip cord is here!” and an arrow.

Yep. That would be better.

I have to say that this makes me like the LFD more. See before in my mind he was the “perfect Daddy” as in the guy that ALWAYS got it right when it came to parenting and really I KNOW that he’s set a very high bar for Lexi’s Daddy….this little bit of reality, a little tiny nugget of imperfection makes me like him even more. HIL-AR-IOUS

Can’t stop giggling. I know you all so well that I can actually visualize and HEAR the conversation in my head. HAHAHA!

I’m so giving him shit about this.

It’s true, Pull ups are a bit of a problem with this type of scenario. Even when they are old enough to go on their own, they don’t know any better and PULL THEM DOWN with the poop….OMG it’s a disaster.

LMAO!!! Tell me, did he start talking in that other voice he has for just such an occasion? I can hear him from here! And I can picture the ‘WTF’ look on his face complete with scrunched up nose when he saw what had happened. Still laughing over it. We love you LFD!!! xoxo

LOL! my hubby did the same thing. I started buying the ones with the velcro stuff on the sides, to help him out, but my girl finally just said to him, ‘You do it like this!’ and demonstrated ripping it off!
