Why do babies wait until you’ve put a fresh, clean nappy on them before they do the foulest, sloppiest poo known to man?

My babies have worked out how to hold it in. I know this because I have tried waiting it out for their morning defication. I’ve tried waiting until the nappy is almost falling off them with the weight of the urine. I give up. I change them and then, within seconds, the grunting begins!

Why do husbands suddenly have to go to work/clean the swimming pool/ disappear when pooey nappies need to be changed?

My husband has a gift. A true gift for making himself scarce. I think he needs to rethink his vocation from computer nerd to magician. (He’ll want to disappear – or turn into something cute, when I get a hold of him)!
