I worked in the babysitting room at an athletic facility, and per company policy, caregivers were not allowed to change a diaper with a BM...we had to go get the parent and then they had to leave their workout to come change Junior...how many times i heard, "oh just let him stay in it til i'm done"...really??? you expect us to deal with that stench while you work out and wont be back for an hour? Not to mention, no other kids will play near him cuz he stinks, and h'es stinking up the entire room...i'm sorry i had to drag you out of your workout, but there is more to think about here than just your waistline.............. I think its rotten a mother thinks more of her workout, than to come change her toddler who is sitting in his own poop.
EDIT: It is written in the gym policy that the PARENT has to come change diapers. They KNEW what they were signing, and KNEW they had to change their own kids, as it was reitterated when they visited the room.
If you choose to have a child, you choose to deal with all the SH!T that comes with it... I think anyone who expects a GYM employee to change your child's poop (or pee for that matter) is out of touch. They are not your nanny, not YOUR babysitter, it's a service they provide because you don't want to work out at home with your kid bugging you. Change your kids poopy didi!
*blinks* Ya know, once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, my munchkin was still in diapers. The babysitter, whom after this incident was immediately fired and banished to the realm of DSS, did not change my childs poop diaper while I was at work. From my understanding, my child had been left in this poop diaper for close to two hours. When I went to change this poop diaper, the skin on her bottom literally PEELED OFF. (She has extremely sensitive skin, just like I do.) She began to bleed from some rather sensitive areas and I immediately took her to the hospital. It took me a month and a half to get her bottom healed up. She still has scars, years later.
Point is, you chose to have a child. Noone else will ever take care of a child like their mother. Show a bit of pride instead of annoyance, for God's sake. (I say as I'm currently fighting said child to get the pants out of her closet, right in front of her, that she swears she can't find. *SMH* LOL You gotta love em. ^_^)

You have to have permits from the health dept./state. There are so many legal hoops to jump through that it's not worth the money and hassle to these businesses.

OK and I totally am agreeing with you here lol.. what I can't understand is, is why they don't have a legit reason as to why the daycare CAN'T do it is all? Is it for hygiene reasons? Do they they not have the proper things to do it (changing table, ect) I'm just wondering why they would put that rule in place is all. Again I completely agree w/ everyone lol..
Quoting imafuswb:But you're not being called from work! You are there for (typically) a maximum of two hours to exercise. You are required to remain on facility grounds. You are being asked to walk a couple hundred feet, change your kid's diaper, and go back to your workout. It's simple. It's easy. PLENTY of gyms have this policy.
Quoting 3greatkids751:
I'm not saying I don't agree with you because I do! However what kinda gym policy is that? That's just odd to me.. it's a care facility for children (much like a daycare) why wouldn't the workers be responsible for changing the child? I know, I know "gym policy" I'm just saying.. I think it's odd is all. I surely wouldn't wanna be called from work telling me my kid pooped and I need to clock out to change him/her lol.. Idk it's just strange is all. I do agree w/ you, I'd be giving the parents a piece of my mind if they said "oh let him just sit in it" o.O really??? Ugh
I think if the rule is that you can't change them.... they should be potty trained in order to be in the gym's child watch area to avoid these types of issues.
Poor kids...
I think if she was with a trainer, it should ALSO be policy that the trainer stop the workout til the parent attends to the needs of the child. If not with a trainer is should ALSO be policy that she can be kicked out of the club if needs of child are not tended to. Take this to your manager, I don't think you will have this type of problem parent too often.
And I see first hand it is natural for a baby to want to NOT pee or poop on themselves. I practice EC and my son loves to poop on the potty. If we have a miss and he poops in his diaper he is not happy about it (I don't care either way he can go where it is most comfortable for him) an he will finish pooping in the potty.
He's done that since 2 months old and is 10 months old now.
Totally agree!
It's not daycare it's someone who keeps an eye on them. Your kids your reponsibility. I may be paranoid, but I would rather not have someone else(a stranger) change their diaper, it's something called boundaries, and I couldn't leave them with some one I or they didn't know/trust.

The poop can burn their skin. My daughter was in a dirty diaper for nearly 2 hours once (long story involving people babysitting, etc.) and it gave her such bad burns that she had a liquid filled blister on her butt and the rest of her skin was fire engine red. It took three days to get rid of the rash. She would scream every time I went near her butt and wouldn't let me touch her. This was horrible, espeically when she'd poop again. I'll never forget that. I now smell her butt in the middle of the night.
Are these really inappropriate pictures? *pics*
