More dads have felt defeated, such as Chris Mau of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, whose January Facebook photo of his infant daughter lying on the “disgusting floor” of a fast-food restaurant went viral. “People have commented that my wife is ‘lazy’ for not changing our baby’s diaper or that I could have changed him in the car but why should I?” says Palmer. The father wasn’t aware that Isiah had snapped his photo but later, acknowledging the humor, he posted it online. “I usually lay Liam down on clothes I keep in the diaper bag or the bag itself, and Isaiah hands me wipes or throws out the dirty diaper,” explains Palmer. Enlisting the help of his eldest child Isaiah - whom Palmer calls his “diaper assistant” - the dad began the precarious task of changing the baby in the men’s bathroom. “We had stopped at Texas Roadhouse for lunch and while my wife ordered food, my son Liam started fussing so I knew it was time for a diaper change,” he says. Palmer, 31, tells Yahoo Lifestyle that the September 15th image reflects his daily routine with his three boys, ages 12, 7, and 1.
The father tagged the news outlet The Shade Room in his post, which subsequently published the photo, assuming more than 400,000 likes. This content is not available due to your privacy preferences.
