A mum has between slammed after admitting she forces her husband to change all their baby's nappies because she never planned to have kids in the first place.
The woman says before meeting her other half she had resigned herself to never becoming a mum because she hates "any gross scenarios common to young children."
Posting on Reddit she said: "I have always had a tough time dealing with anything that seems gross. When I was a kid I had a dog that c***ped in the house on very rare occasions and I would literally gag and almost vomit when cleaning it up," the woman explained on Reddit's Am I The A**hole forum.
"Anything that gives off a strong putrid smell makes my eyes water and throws me into a retching fit."
However two years ago she married her husband, who, she says, was well aware of her issues surrounding "gross things". But, she says he was so desperate become a father that he vowed "to deal with poopy diapers and things of that nature", reports The Birmingham Mail.
The couple then had a baby girl who the mum says she loves but she refuses to change dirty nappies.
She said: "Let me just say, I absolutely love my daughter to pieces. She brings so much joy into my life and she makes me smile and laugh every single day.
"I change all of the pee diapers, I can handle spit up, and I do all of her laundry and bottle cleaning. The one thing I will not do is change her poopy diapers, as per my agreement with my husband."
However, things came to a head between the couple, when the little girl had "a huge explosion" at around 2am recently.
The woman explained: "I heard her crying on the baby monitor and when I went to check on her, it had gone all the way up her back and into her hair. The mattress cover and the mattress itself were also soiled.
"I immediately started getting dizzy and my eyes began to burn so I ran and got my husband. After he got her cleaned up, I worked on soothing her and getting her back to sleep, meanwhile my husband began to clean up her crib. Eventually I also fell asleep."
But, the following morning, the woman noticed her husband was in a really "sour mood," and when she asked him what was up, he said he'd barely slept because of the 2am toilet incident.
She said: "He then went on a tangent and started to accuse me of not helping enough, and he said that he was sick of being on 'poop duty'.
"I reminded him of our agreement and that I do plenty of other things in regards to taking care of our daughter.
"We are both still on parental leave and so it's not like he needed to be up early for work or anything. It's been a few days but he still has an attitude anytime I ask him to change her poopy diapers."
The mum went on to explain that while she does refuse to change the poopy nappies, she does all of her bottle cleaning, laundry, bathing and feeding, as well as always being the first one to check on her when she cries.
She then turned to Reddit to ask whether she's justified in expecting her hubby to change all the dirty nappies,and she was not given the support she might have been hoping for.
One said: "You need to get over your issues of things being gross. You had a kid and they will have gross moments for years. Your husband isn't always going to be around to do things you don't want to do.
"Not sure why you had a kid if you aren't capable of all aspects of having one."
Another added: "Neither of you had any business making an agreement like that in the first place, because it was never sustainable, and frankly this is one of the less serious ways it could have backfired."
