My daughter-in-law just had her 2nd baby on December 26th! She ended up having to have c-section. They gave her shots of something with a bad side effect of diarrhea. Her husband and mother went home to rest because they were awake the past 24 hours. I stayed with her. All the sudden, it smelt like she had an accident. When I checked it out, she sh*t all over the bed. There was a nurse nearby who told me I needed to wait a little bit because there was an emergency. No way was I going to make her sit like that, so I wiped her butt, helped her put on a new gown, and changed the sheets. The nurse came to put a pad under her so she could just have that changed instead of the sheets. I wiped and changed her at least 5 times. She told me she was so embarrassed that she needed a diaper changing like her baby. I really don't want to make a big deal about it, but I want her to know I honestly think nothing of it (although I have to admit it was a little funny)! What should I do? Or should I just never mention it again?
Nobody knows who she is! I didn't announce her name on here!
 
That was very nice of you :) I would never mention it again....try not to even think about it so that it doesn't accidentally come up during a family celebration after a few glasses of wine! lol..this kind of thing runs in my family.
 
We all go through embarrassing moments in life, and the fact is that you were by her side helping her through hers. (even though you were wiping her butt) That shows her that you love and care and respect her.

I wouldn't bring this situation up again because it is embarrassing for her and you. Just let it be in the past and go on with your lives with the new baby. (and the other grand baby)
 
I wouldn't never talk or write about that personal incident your daughter in law when through..
You had to do it !! your were there ! and plus she gave birth to your son's
BABY !!

AND OF COURSE AFTER TODAY DON'T YOU EVER MENTION THIS AGAIN !!
 
As long as you have assured her it was nothing to you, and you were happy to be there for her, never mention it again.
 
Just forget about it, I don't even think your daughter in law would want you to share it on here especially. I know I wouldn't want that. Just act normal around her and forget it ever happened.

=)
 
Probably after a while it will be comical to her too and she probably really loves you for helping her. The bright side is that you can say you changed both your son and daughter in laws diapers... Congratulations on the new grandchild.
 
There's nothing funny about that.

I hope she laughs at you when she's changing your diapers in the nursing home.
 
I just want to say that I think you are wonderful for helping your daughter in law in this way. I am a care worker and I know exactly what it is like from your side as I have to do this for my residents on a daily basis. I find that not mentioning it is the safest option and make sure you treat her the same as you always have. If she brings it up again just tell her that it was no problem that we all need help from time to time and that you will keep it to yourself.
 
Don't bring it up. Poor thing is embarrassed and hormonal. The best thing to do would be drop it. You two will probably laugh about it in the future (but let her bring it up).
 
You are a sick and twisted person, she just gave you a grand baby, things happen sometimes people get sick. She told you she was embarrassed. grow the f**k up.

I'd hate if you were my mother in law!
