Like no one saw this coming. Mike doesn’t even know how to change a diaper, how could he be expected to change one now? Smh at the parenting involved – both Elly’s parenting and Annie’s parenting.
Michael, at this point, just hope that it’s not a cloth diaper. That way it goes straight into the trash and you have a 50% chance of getting it on correctly.
I’ll never forget one time babysitting for my brother & his wife. My nephew was less than 1 year old. At one point he woke up, crying. I checked his diaper: nuthin’. I tried feeding him; he wasn’t hungry. I tried singing to him, playing with him, rocking him…he kept crying. All of a sudden I felt really ill! I ran with him into the bathroom, propped him up next to the tub, and threw up in the toilet. All of a sudden, he was quiet! I rocked him for a few minutes & he went right to sleep. This nephew turns 40 this year and I still kid him about it.
Met a guy who, when he was a young teenager, took a babysitting job from a woman he really did not know well. She ordered him to not change the diaper under any circumstances. Child was uncomfortable (to say the least) and he checked underneath to find terrible rash and infections. Took the child to the ER where it was found he had cigarette burns as well as the other mess. Mother was arrested, child went to social services.
I’ll have my sister, who has taken care of the infirm elderly for 45 years (and still going strong), tell you how it is to change their diapers. So, changing a toddler (I refuse to call this little girl a baby), will seem like a piece of cake in comparison.
The most interesting part of this comic strip to me is that this situation will duplicate itself almost exactly in 15 years when Michael can’t handle his own children’s crying and calls his mother to come and help him.
There’s actually some wisdom in Michael’s response. When the baby sees that their tantrum isn’t getting them anywhere, they cease pitching fits. Until they can come up with another approach, that is…..
Lol this is so interesting, now Micheal you see what you and your sister put your mom through. Elly’s right next door so you can get help. However a part of me cant help but wonder if this is just a front to get the baby to stop crying. For some reason babies stop and stare at you when you start acting like them. Kinda ironic honestly

Well, you WERE Annie’s last hope, Michael, to baby-sit her kids; don’t blow it.
