As the temperature rises, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law between Qiqi's grandmother and Qiqi's mother also intensifies. The differences between the two generations on parenting issues are getting bigger and bigger. The biggest difference is whether to wear diapers for the baby.
Qiqi’s grandmother is a stubborn supporter of “open crotch pants”. She believes that although Qiqi is only a few months old, the summer is too hot, and the baby’s buttocks are wrapped in thick diapers all day long, which is not breathable.
In addition, Qiqi spends a lot of money on diapers every month. Wearing crotchless pants is both economical and convenient.
And Qiqi’s mother thinks, which baby doesn’t wear diapers nowadays? Diapers are convenient and hygienic. As long as they are properly cared for, your baby's bottom will not be red.
Another reason why Qiqi’s mother insists on not letting Qiqi wear crotchless pants is that Qiqi is a girl, and wearing open crotchless pants will expose Qiqi’s private parts.
Out of the protection of her children, Qiqi’s mother found it difficult to accept that her baby girl was wearing crotchless pants. In this regard, crotchless pants are very unfriendly to baby girls.
Qiqi’s grandmother disagreed with this issue. She believes that in the past, the older generation, whether they were boys or girls, wore crotchless pants. Everyone, including Qiqi’s father and Qiqi’s aunt, grew up wearing crotchless pants. Now, not all of them are doing well. She felt that Qiqi’s mother was too “fastidious” and too “pretentious”.
Due to the different parenting concepts between the two generations, many embarrassing things have happened. When Qiqi’s mother goes to work, Grandma Qiqi will secretly put her granddaughter into crotchless pants. When they get off work, grandma will secretly change into diapers in advance.
Grandma Qiqi originally thought that her little cleverness could hide her from the enemy. But one time, Qiqi’s mother came home early and saw her baby wearing crotchless pants sitting in a stroller, and she was furious.
Qiqi’s mother began to accuse her mother-in-law in front of the neighbors, and quickly took Qiqi home and put on diapers. However, Qiqi's grandma could not change the parenting concepts of the older generation for a while. Although always had troubles with her daughter-in-law, she would still secretly wear crotchless pants for her children.
Whether to wear "diapers" or "crotchless pants" for their children has always been a dilemma for many mothers. Especially when the hot summer comes and you see your child wrapped in thick diapers and sweating profusely, it makes the mother feel really uncomfortable.
In summer, many unsteady mothers may follow the advice of their elders and put their children into breathable crotchless pants.
Although crotchless pants are very breathable, they can largely prevent your baby from having red buttocks. However, there are certain differences in many aspects between babies who grow up wearing crotchless pants and babies who grow up wearing diapers.
Therefore, mothers must take these differences into consideration when deciding whether to take off diapers for their children.
If these differences are within your acceptable range, then you can safely choose to wear "crotchless pants" for your baby.
There are obvious differences between babies who grow up wearing "open crotch pants" and "diapers" in these aspects
◆ Gap in gender awareness
When babies grow up, parents must consciously cultivate their children's gender awareness. Babies who grow up wearing crotchless pants may have weaker gender awareness.
Babies who wear crotchless pants for a long time, whether they are boys or girls, will directly expose their private parts to the outside. This is not conducive to their understanding of their private parts, nor is it conducive to the formation of their gender consciousness.
Just like many children raised by grandparents in rural areas, they have played with a group of children with "open crotch pants" since they were young. They may not realize that they are a boy or a girl until very late. allows babies to have gender awareness as early as possible and allows babies to better know how to protect themselves.
Not only female babies need to have the awareness to protect themselves, but male babies also need to have the awareness to protect themselves. Because the current target of the bad guys is not baby girls.
Babies who wear "crotchless pants" are accustomed to exposing their private parts and do not know that doing so is wrong. Therefore, when encounters bad people, their awareness of protecting themselves will be very weak.
◆The gap in toilet awareness
For babies who wear diapers, usually when they are almost 2 years old, parents will consciously start to toilet train their babies. Toilet training is mainly to train the baby's awareness of using the toilet so that they can know when they want to urinate.
Generally speaking, toilet training of babies wearing diapers will go more smoothly. For example, my Dabao stopped wearing diapers and it only took a few days.
For babies who wear crotchless pants, toilet training is a big problem, which is obviously different from babies who wear diapers.
Why is this? Because babies who wear crotchless pants are already accustomed to being "peeed" as early as a few months ago. By the time they can walk, they are also used to squatting down to relieve themselves anytime and anywhere.
Therefore, it is not an easy task for parents to train their babies wearing crotchless pants to defecate in a fixed place, that is, their own small toilet.
There may be big doubts in their little minds, wondering why they suddenly have to relieve themselves in the small toilet.
In addition, because they are used to open crotch pants, when they reach kindergarten, they may forget to take off their pants when they want to relieve themselves.
written at the end
The older generation did not fully understand the disadvantages of wearing "open crotch pants" for babies, because at that time, there was no better option like diapers.
Nowadays, diapers are a better choice. I hope parents can think more fully when making choices for their babies.
Parents must not only see the advantages of wearing crotchless pants when they are short, but ignore the gap between babies who grow up wearing crotchless pants and babies who grow up wearing diapers.
