If you are at someones home for a large gathering like say a birthday party with a buch of kids and toddlers around and a kid runs or walks past you with the unmistakable odor of loaded britches, do you say something funny or in a joking manner or just keep quiet and let someone else figure it out?

so why do you ask the same question over and over?

I say something, because I know that when I am busy or distracted, I may not notice, and I have very bad allergies and sinus problems, so my nose is often stuffed up and I can't smell. I appreciate it when someone tells me, the last thing I want is my baby sitting in a poopy diaper

If you know the mom personally-you can just walk up to her quietly and let her know--I think so-and-so needs a change..she will appreciate your telling her--If it is a child you don't know--yes--you can make a casual coment--oh-oh--someone needs a diaper change...People will perk up and be on the look out and usually the mom will find her child...Staying quiet is not helpful and does no one any favors...

If you don't know the parents of the child, inform your hostess ("The little boy in the red shirt has a stinky diaper, can you tell his mom he needs a change?") If you know the parents, definitely approach them and say, "Little Tommy needs a diaper change, he has a stinky diaper."
I would never, ever change someone else's child's diaper if they were in the room or capable of doing it themselves, especially if you don't know them. I know that it would freak me out if someone just decided to change my 2 year old daughter's diaper without telling me, or asking me. There are a lot of psychos and perverts out there and you don't want to be mistaken for one!

I usually tell the child "go tell mommy you need a new bum". Or the mom...in sort of a wink wink, nudge nudge way. I know that my son, were he to sit in poopy diapers for any amount of time (and I mean ANY!) he'd get a rash...sensitive skin.

If you know the parent, I'd buzz in their ear about it. If you don't, I'd point out the little stinker to the host/hostess and let them handle it. Most parents are thankful for the extra help. I'm mom to 3.

tell the parents. it isn't rude. sometimes the parents just get side tracked easily when they are in a social gathering. just let them know that something smells like poopy and you don't want the child to end up with a rash. if they act funny about you telling them their child pooped his pants, then just let them know that you were only trying to help.

i tend to say to a child & parent that i know that "someone has a stinky tooshie!" Kids shouldn't be left in a dirty diaper and the parent should be made aware of the smelly prob!

I usually say somebody has a "poopy in their doopy" and start sniffing butts. I would offer to change the victims diaper.

I would pick the kid up then I'd ask the mother for a diaper bag and go and change the kid myself. It'll teach the parents to watch the kid closer. I've done it before, and it works most of the time.

I would say to the mom, "you may want to check so and so's diaper, it might be full"
As a mom, I would be appreciative.
