Visiting family for the first time in years leads to talking about baby poop
I haven't seen family since I graduated highschool. My grandmother has been looking after my baby sister in another state, and I've been busy at work, so it took a long time for either of us to make a trip, and I happened to be the one to travel this time.
So I'm with my grandmother in the car and we're talking about the past.
Things I remember growing up and visits I had with her when I was little. I mentioned sledding in her backyard which somehow leads into "I'm so glad you were potty trained back then. Imagine an accident while you're in the snow? You know, your baby sister still isn't potty trained. She's on normal food now so it SMELLS and sticks to her butt. No matter how much you wipe. You just need to give her a bath because it cakes on."
And I was just left in silence because... Didn't need to know any of that. Definitely didn't ask. I don't understand how people can casually talk about poop and dirty butts in normal conversation when it comes to kids. I hope to never be one of those people. Thank God I'm sterilized 😭 I'm a little frustrated the conversation was dominated by talking about the baby when I haven't seen her in so long, but the poop bothers me a lot more.
