Cleaning tubs vs changing baby diapers

Im not a father, yet,, but would like to know what you dads n moms think when comparing cleaning the tub/enclosure to changing ur kids' diapers?

My bp piss and poop for 3 straight days after each feed... n whenever I open the tub to clean it.. POOOFFFF that warm air of p&p hit me face got me wondering which one is actually easier LOL :D

Babies are def worse in my opinion!!! With snakes (for the most part), its just one big lump sum. With babies, most of the time its loose and ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! Oozing out of their diapers at times getting all over their clothes and up their backs!! Not to mention when your trying to clean them up they are tossing and turning all over the place!! And dont even get me started on when you think that they are finished pooping and you go to change them and they are NOT done yet.......bad news, haha!!! As far as the smell goes, both are pretty horrible! :weirdface

Snakes: spot clean 2-3 times a week, deep clean/sanitize once a month.
Babies: deep clean every few hours.

Note: generic unscented baby wipes work nicely for spot-cleaning plastic tubs once the soiled substrate is removed. I follow up with a damp paper towel to remove any remaining detergent from the wet wipe.

I would rather clean tubs all day long lol. I've changed a lot of diapers when I've been babysitting and some of them are absolutely lethal.

Well here is a little perspective.... I have been pooed on by a snake before... It hit my shirt and fell off and I cleaned it up and changed my shirt... No big deal. My son on the other hand was able to pee on me from 5 feet away when he was first born and the one time he pooed on me I had to clean him up, clean up the explosive mess he made all over the floor, take a shower, change every bit of my clothing, and not puke in the process...... I will take tub cleaning over diaper changing all day every day.

Its half time and the current score is Tub 4:0 Diapers. :taz:

I would also like to point out that it is much more rewarding to spend time with my son than with my snakes. Nothing in the world compares to getting cuddles from him and when he says "I love you daddy" it makes anything worth it.

he only entertaining thing about a childs diaper is the poo comes in an assortment of colors while BPs poo comes in an assaultment of odors:O:O

True, and once the kids are older you can spend time with them and the snakes simultaneously. My daughter holds the BP's while I clean out their tubs.

Rofl lmao!!!

sent from my incubator

There have been plenty of times I've had a 'hidden' rat that didn't get eaten and I've had to clean out rotten putrid falling apart dead rat complete with maggots. But the only time I've come close to heaving was changing my sons diapers.

For once, a draw. 1-1

I'm on the fence about this one...

For my child I used/still use cloth diapers (rare instances we use disposables, we just prefer cloth, and personally I cannot stand the smell of disposables... I have a nose like a bloodhound and what are non-offensive odors to most people will bother me and give me migraines, disposable diapers included). Breastmilk poops aren't bad at all... no odor, funny colors, but water soluble so easy to clean up. Solid food poops (my child is quickly approaching 2 years of age... where does the time go?!) on the other hand... awful. Smelly, nasty, squishy... just gross. And using cloth diapers we have to spray the poops out into the toilet... (My husband usually gets that job.) Only thing entertaining about this is the child likes to verbally advertise to the world she's got "caca" in her pants.

The snakes... kind of a toss up. Sometimes the poops are in one place, easy to clean up, no big deal. Then other times it's stuck on the tub, spread all over the place, smells to high heaven. The worst is when someone decides to refuse a rat. The combination of heat and humidity means decomp comes at a much accelerated rate, meaning a very gross mess to clean up. Even worse when the snake decides to dump that rat in the water bowl....

But like someone else mentioned... the cuddles make up for the diapers. Just can't compare. And the funny little conversations she has. Can't understand a word she's saying, but she just goes on and on telling whatever fanciful tale she has.
