Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Connie's husband wants a spanking.
And not in the good way.

Any experienced parents around?
What the hell are you supposed to do when they turn over and try to stand up/crawl away on the changing table? I can't hold her down, because then I wouldn't have my hands to change her with. So right now she's in the playpen half-dressed crying while I seethe with inappropriate anger and wait for DH to get out of the shower so I'll have a spare pair of hands.
I know all babies must do this, but I have no idea what to do about it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hey, anyone still on? I am tired, but just got off work (I am weekend house manager of the Unicorn Theatre) and we opened a new play tonight (some people there know ND! Small world! ND, you know a guy named Dean who teaches at UMKC?) and I am kinda wired.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Connie, I'd be furious, too.

Susan, I'm not an experienced parent by any means, but in a few families that I babysat for, when the kids got to that stage, if the parents couldn't get the baby to stay still on the changing table, they'd change them on a changing pad on the floor, so they didn't have to worry about falling.

Too big for the changing table. You need four hands? Use your legs. I used to sit down on the floor, trap my sons leg's under mine (sit with your legs apart, one of her legs under one of yours), and it gave me a fighting chance. She may still try to flip over, but it may delay her enough that you actually get the diaper changed. Good luck.

And, ugh. I'm freaking myself out now, because I'm getting some chest pains, which I'm 99.9% sure are just heartburn or something, but given what I know of my family history, this is still freaking me out.

I was just doing my catch-up before bed and Hil's suggestion is what I do. Aidan kicks and screams. It's quite a challenge to change him. I put him on the floor, give him a toy or something that intrigues him, and then change him as fast as I can.
eta: Oh yes, and use legs, arms, a heavy book... whatever. (Okay, not the book, he'd ruin it.)
Hil's hair is gorgeous, as is Hil.
I would have killed Connie's not-so-DH too, were he mine. Of course, mine had me take a taxi home from the emergency room after I broke my leg because he didn't want to leave work unless it was a real emergency. He still gets crap about that from his boss. (Obviously I haven't forgotten it either.)
