I was having a chat the other day with a lady at the local toddler group and we just got talking about homelife and the subject came onto nappies.
This lady has 3 daughters ( under the age of 10) and said her husband refuses to change their nappies or bathe them, and that she understood where he was coming from because “Pakistani men just dont feel comfortable in doing these things with daughters” ( she is a pakistani herself). He is also a well educated professional.
I didnt really know how to respond because I just didnt get it.
I mean my cousin changes his gals nappies all the time, never given it a second thought.
that’s too stiff. its not like he’s going to get attracted to his baby daughters, hopefully.
My daddy changed my nappy once, according to my mom (many times according to my dad )…and according to my mom he just panicked and didn’t know what to do. She was taking a shower or something so he decided to take the job up on himself, and he was like “kahan rakhoo iss gandhay diaper ko???”
Verizon - variety is the spice of life, there has to be a special something you like in that department, everyone has one, that was just his. Not my cup of tea, but hey, he's not my man. To each their own.
My first husband changed the diapers grudgingly, but he did it, usually when he lost a bet or an argument (not often, but enough). He didn't feel comfortable doing the girl at first, but like me adjusting to changing a boy's diaper, he quickly realized the mess was the same for both genders.
I change diapers. There is nothing to it nor there is a big deal about it. People who a re disgusted about it, its still better to clean a kids arse with a wipe, than to use your fingers on your own tushie with a lotta. Just think about the crap that gets stuck to your fingernails (I hope we have no nail biters here).
I don't mind changing diapers at all. But here is a question to all you women crying foul here .. would you mind mowing the lawn for a change? You don't have to do it on a hot summer day, just once in spring and once in autumn would do. Don't worry, I won't even start about 'CHECKING' the damns car's oil guage, oil change tou door ki ba'at.
I know a lot of Desi women but only one (a Sikh lady in her late 30s who used to live down the street) who doesn't mind getting the grass all even. But then she even shovels the snow off her driveway too.

I used to mow the lawn all time...summer, winter, spring, the only problem I had was starting the machine :( but ya once you start the machine, moving lawn, hedging, trimming is not difficult...
Sounds a bit weird. May be the guy grew up in a very segregated environment. I don’t know. Personally, I never had problems bathing or changing nappies for either my boy or my girls. Now its been a while changing nappies, but once upon a time, when I was in practice, it’d be fairly quick job and done efficiently.
Hmmm, I mow and change oil, I used to race cars also until the youngest kiddie turned 5, then figured maybe I should act my age.
I think the hardest thing I ever did was change a cam-shaft in an older Toyota Corrolla, their engine is set-up sideways compared to American cars, so the whole engine had to be pulled. Was an interesting two weeks, but I did it.
ahmadjee, I have yet to meet a Paki guy who doesn't run for a mechanic instead of getting his hands dirty witrh the oil, so I could say the same for you guys ;)
^ Faisal I have too many questions..i will start with one…“why do you have cartoon caicatures of ahmadjee with premade captions lying freely on your desktop?” kuch Theek nahin lagta..
