The diaper explosion that almost broke me

5d ago·1 min read

New dad here. Was on a work call with my camera off when my 4 month old unleashed what I can only describe as a biological weapon. It went UP the back, down both legs, and somehow into his ear. How is that even possible? I'm sitting there trying to stay professional on the call while covered in poop and making eye contact with the wall. The other dads on here said it gets easier. Please tell me that's true.

Welcome to the club. Just wait until it happens on a video call with the camera ON. You'll look back on this and laugh, trust me.

Dude, the up the back blowouts are no joke. I've been there during conference calls too. At least the camera was off, that's a win in my book.

I had a similar situation with my daughter at that age and learned real quick that keeping a full change of clothes within arm's reach is non-negotiable. Also learned that some calls just aren't worth the risk.

Dude this happened to me last week during a Teams meeting. Somehow it went up the back of the onesie and into the hair. I just went full mute, dealt with it, and came back like nothing happened. The camera staying off was your saving grace!

Welcome to fatherhood my friend. Wait until they're older and can aim their puke directly at your clean shirt. The diaper explosions are honestly the easy part. Embrace the chaos.
