That is so gross!! I don’t know what disturbs me more, the fact that she changed her baby’s nappy on one of the tables, or the fact that she went out of her way to do at a table right next to you! Some really creepy shit (pun sort of intended) right there! I don’t get why people think that doing this is ok. I also…

EEEWWWW!!! It kinda makes me wonder if it happened before. I’m glad you don’t go there any more.
THATZ NOT OKAY. (Aww, now I miss Caity.)
Yes. Parents can be entitled assholes about the fact that some of us are aware of something called hygiene. Change your kids in the bathroom, people! No one else wants to see your kids’ shit!
As a restaurant owner (and parent of small children) I would have asked that person to leave immediately. And probably comped your meal.
Feel free to be grossed out by it. Bare asses do not belong in eating areas. Urine and feces should be (and probably are) illegal in eating areas.
Motherhood is hard but we don’t abandon all civilized behavior because of it!
BE GROSSED OUT and tell the restaurant! That’s the kind of thing that can get the Board of Health involved!
That’s Hand-Foot-Mouth, right? I’ve had that. It SUCKS. I had to take like 4 days off work because I couldn’t walk for the blisters on my feet. Can’t really eat, either.

The moment I had a newborn, my Mom taught me how to change a diaper by laying the baby on its mat across your knees. Just head into a stall and change your kid’s diaper - easy peasey.
I’ve done the lap change too! Not easy, but better than a table!
When I was fifteen and babysitting a baby the first time, I changed the baby on the parents bed. After the fact, I realized what a dumb idea it was, but in my defense they didn’t show me where anything for the baby was, so I was freaking out a bit and he was screaming by the time I found stuff to change him. It was…
No. My husband’s family is untouchable and holier than thou and I have no right to question any of their behavior ever under no circumstance. Not even when said woman’s husband started cutting his toenails in my living room. My husband acted like I was being an asshole when I brought it up later. I would like to think…
Ugh. I never thought I’d be “that parent,” but I guess I am.
Parent here: Amen to that. Better yet, those people should not reproduce!
As a parent, yes. You should be grossed out by this. Not perhaps grossed out by the changing so much (it’s natural, it has to be done, sometimes no good place, etc...), but definitely by the “not putting anything on the table” bit.

“A View to a Butthole” sounds like porn based on a bad James Bond plot.
