How can you cure your own laziness?
I don't have kids, but is this using good manners, or even common sense? The restaurant has a "family" bathroom, complete with a changing table.
Am I out of the loop? In addition to this being obviously unsanitary, it seemed like a violation of the babies' privacy.
-- Butt-ing In
Dear Butt-ing In: You are correct on all fronts: This is unsanitary, unnecessary, disgusting, and, yes, a violation of privacy on the part of these infants. The father obviously knew that this was wrong, thus his mumbled "sorry." I might have answered him: "Dude. No. Just no."
Dear Amy: "Not Quite Crossing" described his preference for wearing women's underwear. Now he was wondering when to disclose this to a potential sexual partner.
I liked your advice to be honest about this before entering the bedroom. As a woman currently meeting and dating men, my initial reaction was to be repelled, but then when I thought about it, I'm not sure I would mind it.
-- Honesty is Best
Dear Honesty: Exactly. This is a practice many people would be able to accept, given the time to think about it. That's why disclosing it in conversation is the best idea.
