When you become a parent, you quickly find yourself navigating the world of your child’s bodily functions. Just ask Alex Morgan, who recently appeared on a podcast to share insights about fatherhood and the realities of diaper changes.
“Before I became a dad, I would handle my dog’s mess as if it were a hazardous material. But with a kid, you can’t be squeamish; you just have to dive right in!” Morgan shared, humorously reflecting on his first year with his 13-month-old son, Leo.
While drawing a parallel between dog waste and baby poop may raise eyebrows, Morgan captures the essence of parenting—getting used to the less glamorous aspects of childcare. He’s certainly in good company with other celebrity dads who aren’t afraid to tackle these messy responsibilities head-on.
Every baby is unique, yet one universal truth remains: they all poop—often and abundantly. As a parent, you quickly adapt to the reality of frequent diaper changes.
“I’ve never been one to handle poop or vomit well, but once you become a parent, those concerns seem to fade away,” Morgan noted. “The cleanliness of your child’s behind takes precedence over any squeamishness.”
Indeed, just this morning, I tackled the task of emptying my infant’s diaper pail. The odor was overwhelming, and as I carried the bag of soiled diapers to the trash, I couldn’t help but hope it wouldn’t tear. After all, it’s a messy job! But it’s one that must be done, especially when you discover that chili was on the dinner menu last night.
It’s refreshing to see public figures like Morgan openly discussing the unglamorous side of parenting, especially as we approach significant days like Father’s Day. On such occasions, dads need to step up, ensuring that moms can enjoy a moment of relaxation without worrying about diaper duty.
So, keep up that spirited approach, Alex! Remember, when it’s time for a diaper change today, it’s all on you!
