    Unhappy What dirty diapers were preparing me for

    Now I know what all of those foul, nasty, goopy, runny, and stinky diapers were preparing me for. It doesn't make me happy knowing, but at least I didn't retch or puke in our driveway yesterday...

    So, the Truefit was beginning to have issues RF center in my DW's Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 60/40 split seat. It had started to slightly sink into the crack on one side. Not good. It was also causing the seat to have a really large recline angle as well. So it was time to move the seat RF passenger side... I was expecting to find Cheerios, Teddy Grahams, and Honey Bunnies in and under the seat, and figured this was a great time to clean them out, but little did I know what was in store for me...

    I've got the bottom portion of the cover unbuttoned and am reaching in pulling out various snackie bits when I hit something soggy. Gooey and soggy. I'm thinking, WTF? So I yank the seat out of the SUV and onto the driveway so I can see what's going on. Oh the horror! Oh the truly (See I spelled it correctly!) awful nastiness of it all! Yes, somehow my DS had managed to dump milk down into his car seat and was making cottage cheese. Did I mention that one of the straps was hairy too?

    So I spent 30-45 minutes in the hot sun, crawling around on my hands and knees in my driveway cleaning out his car seat. I scrubbed his straps until the wipes started disintegrating from the friction. I shoveled out gobs of cheesy goo that had puddled into the various nooks and crannies of the shell. It's clean now, and that funky sour smell we were attributing to a lost sippy cup is now gone, but that was about the nastiest thing I have ever seen and cleaned in my life.

    And I didn't puke!

    I am a father! Hear me roar!

    That's AWFUL! Good job! I don't think I could have done it. Definitely would have been a job for my husband.

    Thus the reason for only letting my own little one have water in the car, though with a 30-45 min drive to any kind of town, anything else just goes bad to quickly...

    Hahaha, that's so funny. I feel you, being a parent makes you immune to the nastiest stuff. The other day my son had a particularly gooey poopy diaper, and then sat down really hard on the kitchen floor and it all gushed out the sides. . . and I didn't notice until he was already playing in it! EWWW. . .lol .. that was a fun day
