Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of Tell You what parents are
supposed to ask for permission of their baby before doing this?

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Now, Sam, Yeah, to change their diapers. That's apparently what experts,
quote unquote experts are saying that you should do all
because of consent and you want to teach your baby
boundaries and how they need to be the ones to
say that it's okay for them to be touched in
any way. And I understand what people are trying to
achieve with this, but it's so silly and there's just

(00:28):
so many, so many ways that this is dumb.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
But this is hours after you have a child, and
you're about to have a child. Your du day is today.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
You can have a child later today, maybe tomorrow or
ra sometime very soon, and you are supposed to before
you change the diaper, you are supposed to ask that
tiny little six pound seven pound thing or whatever it
may be. Yeah, it's like nothing, baby, Sorry, I underested
you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Excuse me? Can I change your diaper? Or do you wait? Even?

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Okay, So, first of all, babies don't understand just when
we're talking to them as soon as the born, So
there's that issue, and so you're supposed to read their
body language. I guess, but can you imagine how confusing
it would be. You just busted out of the birth canal,
and now all of a sudden somebody's asking you questions.
You're just discombobulated and confused, and there's bright lights everywhere,

(01:14):
and you're over stimulated because you've been in basically, yeah,
your entire existence, you've been in a sensory deprivation tank,
and all of a sudden you were getting poked and
prodded and asked questions and you don't understand words. That's
gonna be so frustrating.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Do they think that babies come out of like literally
come out of the canal? And yes, that that that
thing right there. Thanks for using those big technical words
like that.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
I don't think it's they're not speaking.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
No, No, we are not supposed to ask permission of
our babies before we change diapers.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, you're supposed to read their cues, their body language
or whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Talk back in the iHeartRadio apps to.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Tell me some guy from some place thinks that we
should probably ask them, Hey, what are your pronouns too?

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yes, your pronouns? Are they ba?

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Ba?

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Are they baby?

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Or are you just a little baby baby who can't
say a word, so that don't make any sense. Yes, hey,
can I ask you to change your diaper? Screw you doctor.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
This morning. I'm an infant teacher, and we narrate everything
we tell the babies because well, it teaches consent. It
also teaches them vocabulary, and as they get into a
toddler stage, when you ask them things, you give them
choices to get to the same end result that obviously
that you need to get to. So it helps us

(02:43):
vocabulary and autonomy.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
That helps in a day.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I think that talking to your baby and your toddler
very very important, for sure, because how else are they
gonna learn how to communicate? Definitely, But I don't know
about asking permission to do something that would otherwise be neglectful.
That you will kind of automatically talk to your kid
and almost ask for their consent anyway while you're changing
their diaper.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
It's so dumb, but you'll be like, Hi, I'm going
to change your diaper, No, sweetheart, Okay, Okay, I.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
Don't remember doing that, but I get it.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
I totally get it. I talked to my dogs in
the same way I ask my dogs do you need
to go potty? They don't really understand what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, they do. They know the P word.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, eventually you say it enough.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yeah, but when they're Chris, you know who this is
and you asked for it, asking your baby if you
can change their diaper? Are you kidding me? Don't forget
to tell your child that they have a choice whether
they want to be a boy or a girl. Would
these people stop? Oh m g.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Oh what does that mean? Oh? Yeah, oh, thank you? Okay.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
Remark back to if you have to ask the child
to change their diaper, I definitely disagree.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
If you see that that diaper is wet or dirty
in anywhere, you change that.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
I would rather deal with a squirming, rolling chiddler than
to deal with diaper rash and a screaming, frying baby.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
You guys are like two against one over there, aren't
you doves with their baby?

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, it's like trying to wrestle alligator.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, try to put But it's necessary because otherwise you're
neglecting your baby. It's part of being a parent. And
when you don't, I don't know. I just think that
when you try to accommodate every single little thing, and
you don't just be a parent, you end up with
kids that are just absolute terrors.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
I hear you.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, maybe you don't change and they get diaper rash
and then you're gonna have to buy a gallon of
desatine and just diplomatic. Yeah, and they're uncomfortable and they're
in pain. Do you want that?

Speaker 3 (04:46):
No, it's just silly, I hear you. I would just
call talk Dog law Goodness.
