1. We NEED two incomes to survive... Yeah Right! I honestly believe that out of the people that say this 90% would be just fine if they would cut their lifestyle, move to a cheaper area and sacrifice. I am not buying it one bit when people say this.
2. I put my kid in Daycare for the socialization.. Good grief, how much socialization does a 10 month old need?? Besides there are better ways to much socialize young children.
3. I am a better mom if I work outside the home.. UGHH! How in the world do you think you are a better mom by handing your kid off to Grandma or someone else to raise while you go work?? Unless you are going to beat them or verbally abuse them, I always think at home with mom is where kids thrive the most..
THere are others I can't stand, but these are my top 3. Have at it..

Some of them are.
I, personally, wouldn't be bothered.
I've been in that situation.
of course, never mind the fact that she's covered with her shirt while getting her diaper changed AND that her diaper off leaves her uncovered for about 5-10 seconds or so....it's not like we undo her old diaper, take it off, make an announcement "hey everyone, alyssa's bottom's naked for all to see"....and then wait for people to show up.
it's really, really simple....off with the pants, off with the wet diaper, wipe-wipe-wipe, on with the new diaper, on with the pants....
is it okay if her sister and step-sister see her naked when they help the home-health aide give her a bath??

again, i have no doubt that you just can't put yourself in my shoes. I have NEVER denied her any piece of her "humanity" and strongly resent such an implication...BLECH!
She is my baby because that is WHAT SHE IS. EXCEPT for AGE she will NEVER, EVER function like an adult, much less anything more than her 2-month functional level.
Again, I think the problem is that you haven't lived with a child like this, so you can't come at it from a personal perspective. Honestly, everyone in our national support group would completely agree with me that our children are "babies". That's JUST THE WAY it is.

As I posted earlier, IMO there's a level of modesty and concern for personal integrity that we accord to others, especially when they're not in a position to make decisions about it. It's something that is commonly expressed through closed doors, private spaces, and care about covering up in places like hospitals and clinics, for example.
It's a little different than the decisions we make as individuals about how we regard our nudity and how much we want to share it with others.
So, it might not be a matter of whether your ds was disturbed, but rather the message that he might receive about these matters. I suppose that if Opa would have been okay with anybody at all seeing his bodily functions when he was handling them himself, then he'd be fine with that sort of observation while he wasn't aware of it.
I personally have always been fine with any and all family members seeing me in the nude, but I don't especially care to have them see me doing my business.
