I'm so blessed! My hubby does diapers & has done so since day 1. Now if I can get him to feed our 16 month old dinner....

i can't say anything my husband is really good about changing diaper. It's not his favorite thing to do but he does it

I have one of the "very hands on dads" . On a daily basis, he proabably does more than I do which is why we work so well together. He changes diapers, does laundry and cooks......I can't complaign. I am extremely lucky.

Thank you all so much this will definitely help me out. As I stated before my hubby has barely changed diapers since day one. In fact he likes to brag that he has only changed a handful, this is somewhat accurate but not completely. Out of 4 kids he has probably done 10 diapers each. I'm an at home mom that just never goes out, which means that whenever a child needed a new one I was always there. But I didn't think I was the ONLY woman out there that did this. Thank goodness I know that isn't the case. Now with all that being stated he does wash them (bathtime)

My husband does diaper duty. We rock-paper-scissors for the rough ones! :D. But I did know of some "dads" who refused and one who threw up in the carpet beside the baby!!! They said they would rather "gut a deer" than change a diaper. Yeah. Very manly. Never had to ask my hubby though. He always pitched right in from the beginning :)

My husband always helped in all the chores including changing diapers and bathing. I have a friend that would not help his wife with these tasks when it came to his four girls. He said because he was a man and his children were girls it was his wife's responsibility. He has since changed his tune (reasons unknown) and helps with these chores now.

I love my hubby, but he doesn't change diapers by himself unless I'm out at the store or something. He helps change poops, by holding legs & hands (or he thinks he's helping). He really doesn't give me any reason, I sometimes think when you're a stay at home mom and do everything, they just get used to it.

Between our 3 kids, I can count on ONE hand how many times my husband has changed a diaper! It's Ok though...I don't mind :)

Mine used to change diapers all the time. I didn't even have to ask. The nearest parent to the dirty/wet diap would change it. From day one, it was actually daddy who changed McK's first diaper ever! :)

Can't imagine being with someone who wouldn't change diapers. That's just a responsibility that goes along with being a parent. My husband has probably changed more diapers than me, especially in the last year (he's been a SAHD). That would be a deal-breaker for me too, not because of that specifically but because of the attitude it represents.
