go to the women’s bathroom to change it. OP said she was in nursery, so go cover for her for 5 min while she changes it (or wait for the men’s to free up, both work).

You changed her diaper on the counter in the kitchen? This is why you shouldn’t do food prep at the church.

Has to be a reverse. No one is this clueless, right?

Our building's men's rooms have a changing table and a trash can with a closing lid that is stationed right next to it.

My church has a changing table and diaper disposal in the men's bathroom.

I think everyone missed the “the bathroom was being used.”

Ten_Hour_Drives

5/15/22 12:07pm

So wait? Or go to your car? Or any other option that doesn’t involve changing a diaper on a surface intended for food?

Depends on the layout. I’ve seen them in open areas, or in the handicap stall, and I’ve also seen them

KingDave

Maybe so, but the moral of the story is don't be gross and change your kids

LiveCoug

The moral of the story is my advocating a fathers room in church buildings.

Ten_Hour_Drives

We shouldn't have to worry about there being poop on them.

Why are some of you acting like church kitchens are actually used anymore.

WJCougar

We use ours all the time

Because ours is used regularly

Why the kitchen counter? Why not any floor surface of the church first?

A fathers room? Church buildings don’t even have dedicated rooms for the Elders Quorum to meet in.

You can just stuff them into the corner on the stage or something though and

Ojiisan

Right. The other corner of the stage is where you change the diapers. Or the stairs to the stage.

You complaining about more time out of class?
