Taking my daughter to meet my parents for the first time. We're at their house maybe 10 minutes and she has a blowout that goes up her back, down her legs, everywhere. Got poop on my shirt, the car seat, her outfit. My mom tried to help but seemed kind of judgy about how I handled it. Anyway we're fine but wow nobody tells you about these explosions. Brought extra everything now.
Six months in and I'm learning that blowouts happen at literally the worst times possible. At least your daughter's breaking the ice with your parents early, right?
Dude, this is like a rite of passage. Mine blew out in the car on the way to meet my in-laws too. The smell was unreal. Pro tip: keep a change of clothes for you AND the baby in the diaper bag. Learned that the hard way.
Welcome to parenthood my friend. This is nothing compared to what's coming. Just wait until it happens in public somewhere you can't easily change her. Happened to me at the grocery store last month.
Oh man, timing is everything with these things. At least it happened at their house and not like, at a restaurant or something. Your parents will understand - they've been there. Did you manage to get her cleaned up okay?

Oh man, been there. Pro tip for next time: bring like three extra outfits in the diaper bag, not just one. Your parents will understand, trust me.
