How many dads don't change diapers?
Yesterday I took this question to twitter and facebook but would love your responses as well. How many of you have a dad that doesn't change diapers? Why is his reasonings? Now if your husband does do diapers announce it here.
This stems from my post on Babylune and I'd like to update it in a few days. http://www.blisstree.com/babylune/changing-diapers-does-he-do-it/

My boyfriend did not change diapers, very seldom. Our daughter is 2 and he has changed maybe 15 diapers the whole time. His reasoning, she is a girl and it makes him incomfortable. I can understand that because i felt weird changing his sons diaper.. Im only his step mom and felt a bit awkward, but our daughter is his and mine, so i got frustrated a bit, but im the stay at home mom, he works all hours as a truckdriver, so really i can not have many complaints.

My husband is the best! I got a part time job on the weekends last year so he took on weekend Daddy duty and did a stellar job! It really helped build a bond that he had never had with my kids as well. Diapers??? That's nothing for my hubby! :-)

My husband changed diapers in the very beginning. But once I became a full time SAHM when DD was about 4 months old, he stopped changing diapers. No real reason. When I temporarily switched to cloth diapering, he was supportive of letting me try it out but pointed out that he would not change a cloth diaper. I think he thought it was too complicated. I cloth diapered for about 6 months or so before switching back to disposables -- he still has not changed a diaper!! His reasoning is that it is "too stinky" now that DD is no longer exclusively breastfed. He also added that unless I wanted to spend the money on a gas mask (!!!) he was not going to change them. Hmph!!

I'm shocked at how many women are responding that their partner doesn't change diapers! That would be a deal breaker for me. As the stay at home parent, I definitely changed more than he did, but when I needed a break at night, or if on his day off, I couldn't take a couple of hours to do something alone, the marriage would not have lasted.

How appropriate is the timing of your question! My husband and I oversee the children's ministry at our church, and we needed a second person to help cover nursery yesterday. Speaking to our senior pastor we mentioned that we needed a female, just in case any of the girl toddlers had to use the rest room. He responded, "Well - that and diaper changes. None of these men have been dads yet."
Guess I missed something... why is it that being female makes us all of a sudden know how to do a diaper change whether or not we have had kids...
